This song is a cornerstone of the themes on my new album, Transitions. This song was based on a four page journal entry that was condensed down to one page which was then condensed down to a paragraph. Then I wrote this song. This features the very talented musician/producer Katie Dwyer. Please also check out all of HER stuff because she makes every project she works on better.

I have a show!! And it’s at one of the venues that I got my start in live performance, the No Future Cafe in Pasadena! I’m super excited to be playing the songs from my new album Transitions live for people. The response has honestly been super encouraging and affirming and I’d love to share it with you. I will be accompanied by longtime bandmate George Matamala (Savros, The Vegas Nerve) on bass and I couldn’t be more excited to share the stage with him again. Also performing is lifelong musical friends John R. Williamson and mynameismilk. (Both with bands!! I will be the acoustic act between both sets.)
I am very excited to be performing the songs from my new album for you on July 23 in lovely San Dimas, CA. I would LOVE if you were able to come out and join me and my friends who are also performing. Check out the music of my fellow perfomers: Katie Dwyer, Mini Mendez, and John R. Williamson Here’s a video about it the event. Here are some flyers you can copy, download, share, and repost as much as you want:
As you can see I’m very excited. My Kickstarter project was a HUGE SUCCESS! If you didn’t get in on it, there may be leftover merch. I will reach out at a later date and let you know what we have available. I’m taking the next few days “off” to rest and strategize. Exciting things are coming and my new album “Transitions” will see the light of day Summer of 2022!! Let’s GOOOO!!!
Yeah. There’s SO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW. (All caps excitement). Please pre-save this Kickstarter link. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you!
