It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

Began the day with my first cup of coffee for the new year. Ended it screaming and nearly crying. What. A. Game. GO BLUE!!!

If you like 50s rock n roll catch my side project here. Played our last show of 2023 last night and it was a real barn burner! Follow us on instagram too if you like - we play once a month in the Nashville area and that’s the best way to find out when / where.

My cover of Bruce Springsteens’s classic “Darkness On The Edge Of Town” is out now and will be featured on Dualtone’s Discovered and Covered vinyl coming December 8th. Take a listen and grab your pre-order vinyl today at https://www.dualtonestore.com/collections/discovered-covered

Personally Springsteen is a musical hero of mine and his lyrical explorations of the working class in particular, never cease to pull up the often veiled beauty therein; sometimes anthemically, sometimes softly, but always dramatically reminding us that, no matter if you’re scrubbing floors, doing dishes, teaching geometry, advising finances, digging holes or mending wounds it’s valuable because you’re valuable - actually filled to the brim with it. And when we forget, it’s songs like this that remind us of how darkness AND light level the playing field. The darkness on the edge of rural America’s m**h hills is the same darkness on the edge of Capitol Hill. But, when the light cuts through it’s also the same light.

A reminder that DEFIANCE in full releases tomorrow! Listen and spread the wordS - Tyler Micah Eckel’s words. Words adapted to song from a selection of his poetry. Poetry that is raw, honest, sometimes perplexing, emotive, image evoking, rhythmic, sad, celebratory, caring, funny and simply brilliant. And perhaps even more so because it comes from a mind that battled the disease of paranoid schizophrenia. That he was able to write so prolifically in the way that he did continues to astound me. I hope that these songs will be a gateway for you to his words and that maybe they’ll find you astounded too! Listen - and please feel free to let me know what you think. And of course once again thank you to all who helped make it happen; my wife for supporting it, all of the crowdfunders, @matthewricecampbell and @almondblossomrecordings for a great studio and for being so intent on serving the songs, all of the musicians - @jr_wombat , @scibiliamatt , @kenny.hutson , @detroitarun , @machaelaneslerscibilia , @maxesax1

I have a friend in Detroit who owns this 1958 Gibson TV Special - valued at $15k. He’s looking to trade for the right, solid driving vintage automobile. Just seeing if theres any interest.

Stepping up my annual “Happy Labor Day” wishes to all the mamas out there by writing this little ditty - (and practicing my 50’s Carl Perkins, Elvis, Gene Vincent vocals!) You’re crazy, but I love ya!! 🤣❤️(And yes, it’s true). #labordayweekend #mamas #childbirth #happylabordayweekend #happylaborday #homonyms #elvis #genevincent #carlperkins #dadjokes

Otto Link showed up today!

The four of us - , , and myself - are up to som**hing. And it's gonna go down at .tradingpost in October. Stay tuned! 🎸🎷💥

Glad my sweet cousin in law got a few photos of this barn burner of a birthday party (mine) from a few weeks back. We did my favorite thing for at least 3 hours straight! I had no voice by the end of it all…sang originals, then sang covers until Aug 4th turned to Aug 5th. Thankful to , and for hanging in there with me as we traveled through the lines and likes of Tom Petty, Elvis, Everly Bros., Cranberries, Green Day, Gillian Welch (with special guest ), Oasis (with special guest ), Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Weezer, The Tokens…and more…I think. 🤷‍♂️😆 In the words of my brother - “There were 20 of us and we partied like there were 100!” ⚡️🕺🎷🎸

Have a good weekend everyone. 🥸

If you hear a strange sound out here in the hills of north Goodlettsville, maybe it’s the drag strip, maybe it’s the coyotes, or maybe it’s this! Got me a sax! 🎷 🥳

15 years + these have been in my wallet. 15 years she’s been my girl, my bride, through the better and the worse. And I, but by the grace of God, have been the fortunate primary partaker of all the selfless, sacrificial, feisty, unconditional, dig-in-and-get-your-hands-dirty kind of love that she gives every day. She hates that I’m posting this (not being a fan of attention), but I’m proud to celebrate 15 years with HER, and wanted you to know it.

Some of you already guessed it, but I covered Springsteen’s “Darkness on the Edge of Town” for Dualtone’s ‘Discovered & Covered” album. Stay tuned and pre-order here:
