HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! 

? ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!! I am extremely pleased to announce that I will be performing at Frank Turner's Lost Evenings III Festival, at the House of Blues in Boston, on Saturday May 18th! 

I will be playing in between main stage acts on the Nick Alexander stage. I am beyond humbled and grateful that Frank asked me to be a part of this event. It is a massive opportunity, and something I am so excited to be a part of. It will be a thrill and an honor to share the stage with so many talented artists. 

Frank made it official on the radio in London this morning, which I sadly missed, but a friend informed me he had great things to say. Weird to wake up and hear you are getting praised by one of your heroes, halfway around the world, so immensely cool of him, on all levels. Still waiting for the site and graphic to get updated, but wanted to share this incredible bit of news with you all. 

Here's to BIG things in 2019! ?

"The Trouble With Flight" is out now! 

I am so happy to announce that my brand new EP, "The Trouble With Flight", is officially released! Downloads are available right here. 

It has been a long road to get here, but I am so proud of the work. This EP marks the beginning of what I hope will be a new era for me and my music. Taking on the roles of both producer and performer is an exhausting task, but it is so very rewarding. The ability to have creative control, in my own time, is a tremendous advantage. I've learned so much since my last album, and I am so excited about what the future holds.

I hope you enjoy the new songs! Be on the lookout for the acoustic versions from this EP, which will be coming in the next few weeks. 

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! It's because of people like YOU that independent artists, like myself, are able to continue following our dreams.

Hear the first single off the new EP! 

FIRST LISTEN TO "SAY THE WORD" HERE!

Check out the first single from the upcoming EP now on my campaign page! It's titled "Say the Word", and is very special to me, as I wrote It with my daughters in mind. I recently, just this week, this song received high praise from a music supervisor who specialized in placing music in tv, movies, commercials, etc. I got some great feedback and am hopeful that I will be able to find placement for it in the future. 

The campaign is rolling along, hitting 47% today! There's still a lot of ground to cover, but we're making progress. Thank you, everyone!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON! 

Wow, what a crazy adventure getting this EP done has been. I will soon be unveiling all the details about it in the next week or two and couldn't be more excited about it. It has been way too long since my last release, but rest assured, there is plenty more to come. I have been diligently working for the past couple of years, honing my engineering skills, and am finally in a place where I can create more openly and freely. It will all make more sense in a week or two. Thanks so much for your continued support. Big things are a coming!

Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra's 'Bridge Sessions' 

I was fortunate enough to be 1 of 4 finalists in the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra's 'Bridge Sessions'. For the competition, classically trained musicians were paired with more mainstream acts to create works that combined both styles. I was paired with violinist, and DSSO concert master, Erin Aldridge. One of the songs we performed was one of my new songs, called "Down With This Ship". We combined Vivaldi's "Spring:1st Movement" from the famous Four Seasons works. It was an incredible experience, one I am very thankful for, and proud to have been a part of. Check out the video to get an idea. Erin was absolutely fantastic!

I finally got around to making a new YouTube video. This time around I did a cover of the song "Isolation" by Grant Nicholas. I'm a big fan of his work, so I thought I would tip my cap to him. Hope you enjoy it!
