Night Beats

Spent all that money on new drum heads and a medium Dr Pepper 🥀

To show some appreciation, I will be mailing 15 mystery packages to the first people who can share a memory of the first time hearing the band and possibly the song title. Tagging friend is encouraged, and please understand I can only ship these domestic (USA).((they may or may not contain tapes, notes, patches, CD…))

Thanks to the people that listened this year, and all the folks that have tuned since the first H-Bomb EP, recorded in a tiny room similar to this new one.

Teaching music lessons in town has occupied most of my time since tour, while I assemble the pieces for the next chapter. Stay tuned for more tour announcements for 2024.

Let’s go 🇲🇷

Side bar- I remember playing this song with Ronnie Spector on New Year’s Eve in 2013(?), I can’t believe that s**t happened. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

TIME TO EAT

With the album around the corner, I have one more song I'd like to share.

"Blue is out today and you can hear it premiered on Northern Transmissions

*********************

Over the last few weeks I’ve been processing the passing of my father. I’ve struggled finding the right way to share this moment in my life, but I would be remiss if I didn’t publicly declare my pain as I do in my music. Although these songs were written well before his passing, I noticed things listening back that meant something different- which is odd, because I should know what I really meant. But the funny thing is the music became what I needed in that moment. Music heals, in a different way— love distorts time.

I just wanted to say, from one fool’s observation, that time heals, but music saved my life, on many occasions.

Thank you all, off to build this studio up in a new area code, wearing my Dad’s boots. ✌🏼❤️
