Early on in the studio (the first week actually), I was talking about how sick I am of most singer-songwriters (which would make me a hypocrite) and I joked that I was going to call the album Not A Pussy to make fun of the whole sensitive singer-songwriter genre. It became the running joke for [...]

I started my TA job at Northeastern University today. I’m helping to teach the class entitled, “History of Rock Music”. What more could you ask for?
Also, I tentatively booked the 5th date for my tour. January 27th at Susquehanna University. I’ve met my expectations for putting this tour together but if I can get one [...]

The CD release is March 13th. We have a lot to do to meet that deadline (as in finish recording, mixing, mastering, photo shoot, CD design, send it out to be manufactured, etc.) but we’ll get there. Now, we have a date to work towards. Also, Will is meeting with the dude who is mixing [...]

It’s been two weeks since my last post. Things have been busy and varied and that’s not to say that much hasn’t been up. I’m still planning the tour but there’s not much I can do before the new year. I’ve also been asked by Will Dailey to be his booking agent for a while, which [...]

I have been presented with another option for the CD release show. Bob (Antonelli, of Cahill) works at Kidstock, a ‘creative theater education center’ in Winchester, and has access to a cool, 135-seat theater that we could potential use to put on a show. Bob’s doing the booking and ran the idea by me. I’m [...]

I haven’t been pushing the album sponsorship lately because, well, I’ve been too busy recording the album but this is a friendly reminder to the faithful readers and an introduction to the new blog readers that we do have an album sponsorship program for the new album. We’ve been able to raise over $500 so [...]

Today was a good day. I locked down my fourth date of my “Mid-Atlantic-Ish Tour” on January 31st at Penn State–Erie. I will put it up on my calendar once I get the contract in. I was in the studio, had a visit from Ryan Schmidt, who laid down some gang vocals and handclaps to [...]

I find being overwhelmingly busy is better than having nothing to do. I’ve learned how to chill out a bit this year and it’s been wonderful and I hope to continue this practice in the new year. I’ve been going non-stop it seems for the last week-and-a-half.
I’ve confirmed the third date on the “Mid-Atlantic-ish” tour. [...]

It’s almost that time of the year again…when I drive 8 hours to Western Pennsylvania to play some college shows. For some reason, I’ve always had a lot of luck booking college shows in Pennsylvania and I’m getting ready to do it again. I have the bookends of my tour:
January 28th–Butler, PA
February 4th–Oil City, PA
I [...]

i’ve been non-stop the last two days and there’s much to write about but i don’t know where to stop. i’ll be quick.
we’ll be done album recording within the next two weeks (!!!) but it won’t be done. there’s still mixing, mastering, design, manufacturing…boo! but you’ll hear stuff before long.
i played a holiday show in [...]
