Stony Gap Band
I don’t use this monicker on a music project lightly as it is literally the name of the road I grew up and where I dwell to this very day, but that is the name of my new band. I finally found myself in the company of two dudes with ability who aren’t scared of […]
Another Saturday Vocal Session
After a pair of Reflexology sessions, 1 Friday night night and 2 Saturday morning, I hopped in the new Ford Edge and headed to Faith for a short but backing vocal session at Snug /Records studio. Anytime I can get a moment in the studio it is a pleasure. This time especially so as we […]
Tuesday Night Concert Series
So this is an idea that I’ve entertained for a long time as a method to assemble and band that actually knows how to play my songs. As a singer/song writer I’ve found it difficult in the past to keep a group of musicians engaged. Nobody is getting rich on original music around these parts. […]
Nashville and Beyond
The timing had to be just right to pull off a weekend trip to Nashville to record my second solo album. With night school two nights per week a full 1.5 hours away from home, I knew I’d be sliding into the experience a little frazzled.
50For50
The gist of this post is that the time has come to make a commitment to change. Chainging my diet and excercise habits as well as my habit of getting my fingers into too many projects. There are things I want as an artsit. I have to really find the maturity to manage those desires […]

Spa Visit At Ballantyne
So last night I left the first batch of images for my new satirical comic strip running. They turned out decent. Check the gallery of raw renders below. I didn’t quite get to designing the next scene before we had to head out on the trek to The Ballantyne Spa and my appointment with the only […]
Some People Really Should Lighten Up
You know, I guess if I don’t get someone excited about my photography, I’m not trying hard enough. Anywho, I’m going to keep this one real generic.
Church Music for Sunday 1/28/2018
I don’t want to speak out of turn but I think all the players have agreed to the monicker of “The Branches” or perhaps just “Branches” as the name fpr the church praise band. Even calling it “praise band” puts us in a box I’m not sure that we fit in. I know there is […]
An Amazing First Concert at Trail House
Last night Joel and I performed for the first time, at least my first time at Trail House in Indian Trail. I really liked the venue and it was quitely lively for a Thursday night. The room was great for sound and the levels were a breeze to set. I hope to be back there […]
