An Old Tune Played in Public Only Once
I wrote this one on the way to a songwriters showcase where I was being featured. Weird, this one. It was my second time playing at this bi-monthly event and I thought to myself, Hey, they all have heard my go to tunes. I need to break off something completely different a new. Hence this […]
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.
The title of the famous U2 song seemed so appropriate. The irony of course being that the folks who founded the church we’ve been attending probably started it up for the very same reason I now, sadly must go. The search for a new home congregation to worship with has begun. What I’m going to […]
Invicta 8, Throwback Acoustic and Mini Comics
Monday is here once again. This time there’s no new music video. Old Johnny B tried very hard to get the gang together this weekend, but as you might imagine everyone seems to have a lot going on. I’m still developing new material for a folk album and if I can’t assemble the musical avengers […]
Blinded Eyes – As Performed by The Late Summer Trio
The final song from The Late Summer Trio for the week is a re-imagining of an old song from myself and Neil Mabry. It’s called, “Blinded Eyes.” We’ve given it the Americana Folk Treatment. Check out my custom painted Ibanez Nylon string guitar beautified by Vicky Galloway with some amazing painting. Yes, it’s the famous […]
Who Likes The Beatles Anyway?
The plan for The Late Summer Trio is to get our proverbial act together enough to play a few shows this fall. On that note we’ve started messing with a few covers you might have heard. Check out this George Harrison classic. It’s always a scary prospect to attempt such sacred music but we’re trying […]
FASTER Website & New Song Video Released
Instead of blowing out my weeks worth of readers, all 3 of them, in one day, I’ve decided to give it to you a little at a time over the course of the week so as not to blow your minds entirely. First up, the big news. I’ve got the website that is advertised on […]
Late Summer Live Performance
After a ridiculously long work week, Saturday actually brought with it an amazing practice with the new group. After only 2 practices, already I can see such great potential for a stripped down, non-electric format. We haven’t settled on a name or a complete lineup yet, but for now I’m referring to us as, “Late […]
By The Dawn’s Early Light – A Look Back at an Un-Recorded Absolute Zero Classic
Folks can say what they will about Charlotte area bands, but Absolute Zero lasted longer and rocked harder than most. The thing I’m most proud of about those days and the output of the band is that no two AZ songs sounded even remotely alike and above all we always remained ambitious! For a three […]
The Late Summer Trio Re-Imagined
Last weekend I got together with Grant from our band of only a few weeks, Break By Sun and multi-instrumentalist, Brandon Almond. We’re putting together some very cool arrangements of my music featuring banjo and mandolin. Very cool and unexpected folk sounding. After this Saturday’s practice, I hope to have a video of the new […]
The Dog Days of Summer Are Here
Summer in Carolina is HOT to say the very least. Thankfully, we’ve had some rainy weather that past week or so which has brought the temp down quite a bit. At work they’ve moved us into this joint team area they call “The Bull Pen.” It’s basically an entire window row opened up with one […]
