Just a reminder, I’m still working on demos...
Homeward.
Will be headed home here in a couple hours. It’s about five hours or so back to DC, with two babies and very little space! Zip car sure is nice for saving on gas though, I’ll tell ya. Got a couple of new song ideas to work on, and can’t wait to have a guitar in my hands again…
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The fam and I are up in Pennsylvania visiting family. Nice to get outta DC for a while now and then. When we get home there’ll be plenty to post about. Justin Jones is playing the pie shop next week, and I may open for him. Justin also has a residency at DC9 for the time being, so if you’re down with good music go check him out.
Ryan and I are kicking around...

Awesome show.
My good buddy (The Legendary) Ryan McLaughlin is playing a show tonight with John Bustine and Chuck Ragan. I’m stoked to see this show! I will post pics and video later tonight if I can get good stuff together. If you like my music at all you probably will dig Ryan’s stuff, so go check it out! Also, John Bustine is a local dude here in DC, he’s pretty awesome too. Chuck...

Yup.
Working on two new tunes today. Also trying to put together a good plan on how to run this open mic night we’re trying to set up. I was thinking of making it into a kind of throwdown type show. Pit a few musicians against one another in a musical deathmatch… haha. Or maybe just charge a small entry fee once a month, and the audience decides who the winner is, and he or she gets all...
Open mic
So the sova open mic is spoken word only. Which is a bummer… However, Ryan and I pitched the idea to our boss here at the pie shop, and he’s into it! So after thanksgiving we will be giving that a shot! I’ll keep giving updates here on how it’s coming along. We will try to put videos up too.

Wednesdays.
So a buddy of mine now runs the wednesday open mic night every week at Sova here in DC. After a little discussion, my pal Ryan McLaughlin and I decided to start playing it whenever we can. My writing buddy Zak will probably play as well, and maybe (Since Ryan and I work at Dangerously Delicious DC.) even the Pie Man himself if we can get him to stay in DC long enough… No matter what...

Crappy day.
Firstly, my wife is sick today, so loud noises and guitars are a problem. I can write “quietly” but can’t really finish any demos. The other issue is the four track recorder program I’ve been using (GigBaby!) suddenly started having strange problems today. I got the new song tracked, did the vocals and a little mixing… However, when I went to “share”...

Call it what you will.
So far, I’ve got a chorus done for the newest tune. One verse and one chorus. Here’s what I got so far for the new chorus:
“Call me crazy if you want,l but I won’t give up to save my life. I’ve been fightin’ for so long, that I dunno what else I’ve got inside. I’ve finally got a chance to make up for wasting all my time. Call it what you will, but...
Finally have time to write more songs. I’m kind of stuck working on these three new songs. Lyrics should be forthcoming soon.
