Thanks for the Inspiration!

Do you ever feel the world is spinning out of control, and the only thing to do is hold on for the ride? (Because if you let go, then the *%#@ will really hit the fan.)

Sometimes, it makes you ill and sometimes it makes you all happy and good-vibey…

That’s how I feel today.

Recording this new album is a journey, for sure. Not only am I learning as an artist, musician and songwriter, but I’m learning about who I am as a human being.

These little epiphanies aren’t laid out on the record, I’m not wearing these revelations on my sleeve – but the emotion is there. It’s in the songs, and on the recordings.

I received many emails from around the country this week, telling me to keep doin’ what I’m doin’. Those are the best. What’s more amazing is that some of these people are musicians themselves, and list me as an artistic influence on their websites.

That blows my mind – there are people out there that are inspired by me.

And that, in turn, inspires me.

So that’s my mission for the week – and that’s my challenge to you; to find those hidden opportunities where we can inspire people.

It doesn’t cost anything, and it makes all the difference in the world.

A Fantastic Show!

First Friday was so cool. We played indoors, as the rain would’ve have made playing outside difficult – to say the least.

It was warm, cozy and intimate. So many friendly faces were in the audience, and it was nice to be able to say, “Happy New Year” to you all.

Special thanks to Jason Wiedman for sitting in with us on a couple of tunes… He plays a mean percussion, and hopefully he’ll come back and jam with us again.

Mike Mattingly also kept time for a few songs. His harmonies really add a special flavor to the music. Yum-yum.

We played our newest tune, “Black and Tan” for the crowd, and to our enjoyment, everyone loved it. We hope to have a version of it to post on the website very soon. Until then, come out to a live show to hear the songs being released on PIVOT, and let us know what you think.

Peace and hairgrease.

Happy New Year

Guys, it’s a new year. Out with the old and in with the new.

It’s a great time to decide what of last year you’d like to hold on to – to expand upon – and what isn’t worth any more of your precious time.

It’s a good time to decide to stay in touch with your gramma, or your aunt up in Canada, or to finally volunteer your time to those who would surely benefit from it.

It’s a great time to start looking at the things in life you can change – and do it!

And if you already know – and do – all of these things… it’s time to start spreading the joy, the wisdom, the happiness to everyone around you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
