07.07.08 | Farewell (for now), Cobble Hill
After 4 years and countless memories, it has become time to move on from my residence on Henry street. Good times were had (tree-lined streets, a great community, and a pretty apartment with a view!), and tough times were shared (heat-less chilly winter days, rats and their droppings, and erratically rising laundry prices), but the simple law of economics in this ever-sprawling city has made fast changes in many New York neighborhoods like this one. Like a northern land bird, I will migrate where the habitat is good and the rent is cheap! Thanks for all the great memories Cobble Hill!

06.12.08 | "Hero's Plectrum" on Seattle's 91.3 FM KBCS
On June 9, "Hero's Plectrum," a track off of my recently-released Perhaps, Drawing Again, was played on air by Seattle's 91.3 FM during Bud and Don Show (Mondays 9am-noon). I have been totally fascinated by the city of Seattle for years, and it's cool to think that my music preceded me there.

11.04.07 | New Album Update!!!
Hello! It has been a while since I've posted any news here. The album is almost finished! Engineer Tommy Harron and I are workin very hard on the last steps of the mastering process. I had a blast last week during a photo shoot with photographer/jazz guitar wiz Woody Quinn, and the art design by Brian and Sara Turner are coming along beautifully! Hopefully, I will be able to annouce a release date sometime soon. Stay tuned!
