Monster Ballads

This past Friday I went to go see my favorite songwriter, Josh Ritter, play with the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and though it wasn’t the best time that I’ve seen him, it was certainly very enjoyable.

Faithful blog readers (all 5 of you…) will remember that I launched my original [...]

The Middle East Downstairs–July 12th!

We’re very excited because we added our only club date of the summer. We will be opening for Meet The Day on Saturday July 12th at the Middle East Downstairs. I’ve never played at the Middle East before but I’m very excited because it’s another one of the more prestigious rock clubs in the Boston area.

Announcing The Album Sponsorship Program

Today, I’m launching a program to try and raise money for our 1st full length album, which will start recording in late-August. I battled for a long time as to whether or not I should try this approach for fundraising but in the end, I do find it to be a worthy endeavor. At first [...]

Hooray! Yes! Way To Go! Bravo!

This is ironic to me because physically, I’m sick. I’ve had this nasty sore throat and cold that has interrupted my sleeping [...]

Ouchie.

I played Faneuil Hall for hours yesterday and for some reason I hurt my throat bad. I couldn’t sleep last night because it was so sore and I have been using throat spray every two hours. This is weird because I didn’t do anything different and I warmed up as much (if not more so) [...]
