Hey y'all. A couple of weeks ago I had an idea for a Halloween sketch and it is going viral on TikTok. Wanted to share it on this page.

I had the pleasure of doing sound with my good bud

I had the pleasure of doing sound with my good buddy, Matt Pollard, for Mr. Asner three years ago. I only met him once, but I admired his charm, quick wit and philosophy on life. Take care, Mr. Asner.

Hey friends, This past year has been quite a bum

Hey friends,

This past year has been quite a bummer for my musician friends and me. All the venues closed down! So, I decided to make a quarantine EP.

Some notes on the process:
Patrick Tully, the arranger for The Chainsmokers, produced and mixed and Nolan Shaheed, the former music director for Marvin Gaye and trumpet player for Stevie Wonder, engineered the EP at his home studio. For players, I had Luca Pino on guitar, Jonathan Frias on bass, Gareth Price on drums and percussion, Carey Frank on piano and organ and Sean O'Kelley helped me with the arrangements as well as played tenor sax on "Moonlight Serenade."

I wrote the titular song, "My Love," last year in the first week of shut down. My grandmother had just passed and I went up to Montana to see her before she went. My uncle Rus is big into music and being around him and the family inspired me to write out a melody that had been jumbling around in my mind for a few weeks. Along with the song, you'll hear some recognizable jazz standards that are some of my favorites.

It's out on all streaming services and iTunes. You can click the linktree in my bio and click the Streaming and Downloads tab to take you to any streaming service of your choice or purchase it on iTunes or Amazon. When you listen, let me know what you think.

It's been a year since I last played with Zachary

It's been a year since I last played with Zachary Caplinger. Missed playing with this dude. We were shedding some tunes and will be doing a live stream together soon. I'll let you know a few days before we go live.
