• Learnings: Playing a Show

    I played a three-hour solo acoustic show at Sloan+Parker last Friday. I just want to jot down some learnings to keep in mind for next time.

  • The Long and Winding Road

  • Every Conversation

    “Great, so in summary, circle.” “Got it, triangle.” “Right. Triangle.” “Ha ha! ‘Right triangle.’ Good one.” “Squarres.” “No… not triangle. Circle.” “Right… I hear you. I’m saying the same thing. Triangle.” “No, we’re not saying the same thing.” “I dunno. Sounds pretty risky. Normally we do squarres and they never fit. Can you prove that…

  • Writing Lots of Music Lately

    Been a while. Let’s see, what’s top of mind? I’ve been writing a ton of music lately. I can hardly get it recorded fast enough.

    Mom advisory: explicit lyrics Ukulele cover of Creep by Radiohead. Warning: Explicit lyrics. I’m using a comics filter because otherwise I can’t stand to watch a video of myself. I changed the lyrics in the second verse because I felt like it and I’m a grown-ass man that can make my own choices.

  • No Surprises

    Just an acoustic cover of No Surprises by Radiohead. #music
