End OF The Year News-Circle 'Round The Sun

Hey Friends and Fans!


I have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks!


First and foremost, I am so excited to finally release my new record “Circle ‘Round The Sun”! And fittingly, after one full spin around the Sun, I will be celebrating with a release party/New Years Eve hoedown at Steel City in Phoenixville on, well, New Years Eve o’ course! I’ve been making NYE at Steel City a tradition, only this year the band will be performing a large block of material from the new album live on New Years Eve and "Circle 'Round The Sun" will also be available for sale at the show. I really think it’s one of my best. I think you will too. Check out a tune!  "Float Down Stream"

 

These recent songs explore some strong emotions and honest conversation while the music draws on piano and guitar driven slightly psychedelic folk-rock, blues and even a little gospel. It all began with a 2 week trip to LA with friends Zach Djanikian (Amos Lee), Shane Smith (Los Lobos/Feist) andJesse Honig and finished up with a little help from friends from around the Philly scene including Ross Bellenoit, John Lilley and Rob Hyman of The Hooters as well as Matt Muir and members of my regular working band. It is the culmination of a year’s work and a collaboration of both music and art as I finished it all with some beautiful collage on the cover by Canadian turned Philly gal Alison Dilworth. And…away we go! Hope to see you this New Years Eve or sometime soon!
