Incidentally, I have a cover song playlist on The YouTubes. The below link will take you there, also to the most recent song I put on it. Looks like there are 8…seems like there should be more. I know I’ve shot more than that. Maybe I’ll get around to editing some of ’em before our collective untimely demise!
Now on Pandora!

New Collaborative EP with Honest John
I collaborated on a 5-song EP with Grand Rapids music legend Honest John Kowalko. He wrote all the songs, I made all the sounds, and…sounds pretty good, we both believe. Here ’tis.

Back at It
Well, the new album is out & in my hot little hand, and I’m (knock on wood) about to play my first show in over 2 months (Northern counties, including whichever county St. Ambrose Cellars is in, open a week early). I’m sure it’s just like riding a bike. To catch you up, I’ve been working a non-music job stocking groceries 3rd shift at Meijer just to keep money rollin’ in, so I’m really excited to get back out there. One day soon, I will quit my job (again) & start playing music full-time (again).

Video from GR Live
Hey everyone! My wife (oh yes. I’m married now. That should probably have been news on here, hunh?) took some video when I was at GR Live last week, and I put it all up on my YouTube channel. Yay content! Here are some links:

I’m pretty excited…I was a huge Verve Pipe fan in high school, and Brian has continued to be a fabulous songwriter all his life, so to be honored by someone I admire is fulfilling.
Ludington Pub, April 15th, is canceled
This is due to weather…the staff was on top of this one and let me know so I didn’t have to drive out. So if you read this, it’ll be the one time I ask you NOT to go to one of my shows! We’ve rescheduled for May 20th, so I hope to see you there instead. Be safe and well.
Ten Miles Back
Hey, my music’s in a movie! The film’s called “Ten Miles Back”, directed by Matthew Douglas Grzeszak, and I’m heading to see it at Celebration Woodland in a couple of hours. I obviously don’t know anything about the film itself, but I’m still super-excited. I’ll let you know how it all shakes down; the songs in it are going to be “House On Fire” and “Murder Ballads.”
