2025 rocked. I put out a new record. My fourth actually. I sold some vinyl and gave some away. I got picked up by a sync label . I [finally] cracked my guitar-playing style. I headlined my favorite venue in town . Twice actually. I [finally] deleted spotify for artists from my phone. I played seven nation army to a sold out crowd. I discovered my love for late 80s synth pop. I made some new friends through music and rekindled a couple old ones. I wrote and rewrote new songs. I reflected more. I became prouder of how far I’ve come. Happier with where I am. You might not see much of me out there in 2026. Family life beckons and I’m more than fine with that haha. But I still love doing this and I look forward to next time. In the meanwhile I’ll be hunkered down writing a new album. Be well into the new year friends 🍾🎉🎊

Got another week until Hellbender Ball with ! My buddy Austin and I will be cosplaying as the freakin White Stripes. How cool is that?! I’ve put out so much of my own music for the last 7ish years that it’s been a fun challenge to cram a bunch of lyrics I didn’t write into my own jumbled head lol. Nevertheless, Austin and I are feeling good about this here set. It’s gonna move fast and get quite loud (!!), with some softer pieces thrown in for good measure. If you’re free we’d love to see you there! There’s only maybe like 15ish tix still remaining 👀 so act fast 🔴⚪️

Well this is one of the cooler things thats ever happened in my lil music world! Super stoked (and honored!) to be headlining the Hellbender Ball with this Halloween season. If you know me or have listened to my catalog you’d put it together pretty quick that I bow down and worship Jack Gillis White III, and the fact that I have an excuse to try and emulate one of the coolest bleeping bands of the century gets me SO fired up you don’t even know. My big sister Meg that night will be my good buddy Austin lol…and he’s great, and we’re gonna rip our fav Stripe songs one after another. It will be so so loud and freakin awesome. Oh and just look at that bill!! HOLY crap. Incredible bands and music coming out of my fav city on the planet that night. Tickets on sale now! 🔴⚪️

Fifteen years. I’m really lucky.

last Sat July 12th at the ! By far the best music experience I’ve ever had. Like most shows that I book I was worried sick if people would actually show up lol. But they did indeed, and their energy was amazing. and I ripped through a violent 18-song set encompassing all the music we’ve written together over the years, bringing songs back to life in a way that felt like putting a fresh spin on old fears. With incredible support from friends and the wonderful T-bird staff, I got to make my favorite venue in my favorite city my absolute favorite gig. Can’t wait til next time 🤙

Batter up 🥎 summer show dates coming at ya!

I’m super proud to announce that I’ve signed a sync & licensing deal with ! They liked my new single Firebomb enough to pitch it for potential movie car-chases and/or get-hyped-for-sports ads. Pretty sick huh? We can only hope! Either way I’m flattered. They say “you’re only as good as who you know”, and I’m very glad to know because he was my incredibly generous hookup here. And through him I’ve met and then and who knows who else from there! The music world can be maddening but also tremendously cool when you least expect it, and by far the coolest thing is the people you meet along the way. Seven years now I’ve gone fairly hard in this particular sphere of entertainment, and I think the best lesson I’ve learned is to be happy where you currently are. There are always going to be things you wish you can have but don’t. More streams, more followers, more offers, more acclaim, yada yada. That road lies madness. But if you can reflect on how far you’ve come, be proud of what you’ve accomplished, continue to put in the work, and just…keep going…well that’s the journey AND the destination right there. Not to say I have that in perspective 24/7 lol. But I’m trying. And this sort of thing helps.
