A Song For My Sister

By bandcamp, experiences, music community, musings, new releases

I wrote “Closer Away” when I lost my sister Jacqueline in a sudden accident in 2018. This song has been through some changes along the way, but I finally feel like it’s ready to be shared. You can stream or download it on Bandcamp

There’s also a video for this song on YouTube.
Our family and friends will recognize many of the images — including some that they’ve created. This was really written for them. I’ve chosen to share it more widely because so many people I know have lost loved ones over the last few years.

It was so cathartic to work on this song, especially the video. I’m honestly not sure how I’d get through without music.
This one’s for you, Jac.

Knockin’ the Rust Off

By local music scene, music community, musings, new releases

We knew this time would come. PA and power strips in the backyard. Bandmates vaccinated and ready to see each other’s faces, hear each other’s voices, and play together again. It’s time to knock the rust off, and remember what it feels like to be a band. As things start opening up at the beloved venues that have survived (and perhaps some new ones), we’ll be ready.

Other projects are in the works as well. In early May I’ll be recording the vocal for a beautiful song called “Wyoming Sky”, written by my friend Richard Lodwig of the band Tremolo Saints. Also, a piano-based song that I wrote following the sudden passing of my little sister is coming to fruition. I’m working on this one with my friend Jerry Becker, who produced my first album “Faith To Fall”… thrilled to have him on board for this very personal endeavor.

Finding our way back will take time, and things may look pretty different. But we can start now, with eyes on that shimmering light, out there at the end of the tunnel.

“Twisted Wind” – my new single

By bandcamp, experiences, music community, new releases, video

“Twisted Wind” was written in April 2020, as we were just beginning to grasp what this pandemic would mean, and the damage it could cause. With no real end in sight, we’ve added wildfires in the West and an ongoing political shitstorm to the mix.

I wrote this song hoping to capture this endless loop that life has become…trying to think logically, stay productive, and maintain some version of faith, as we’re buffeted from moment to moment by forces that twist our thinking and sap our strength.

I don’t know how this story will end, but I do know that music is a force all its own. Let’s hold onto it…and each other.
