After this next batch of early August shows, I’m looking forward to taking a break from playing out so I can hibernate and get some serious composing done. Future shows in the Valley will feature more and more ensemble work w violins, cello, upright bass, horns, and percussion. May eventually integrate this stuff with the looping, if my musician friends are patient enough! Very excited.

Also during this time my band the Whisperlights will be restructuring, as we are for the time being losing Owen, Dave, and Wasef as they venture off into the world. However, our EP “Wake Up Dead” was just released and is being very well-received! You can find it in local music stores across the Valley as well as on iTunes and Amazon. Check it out here

Please give it a listen…if you’re already a fan of my song “Death!”, you should check out the Whisperlights’ version! (also: see video above of our performance of it at my CD release show).

So here’s them upcoming shows:

Aug 6 9:00P
Lost Leaf (FIRST FRIDAYS!) w Whisperlights (OUR LAST SHOW W CURRENT LINEUP, BITTERSWEET!) & Owl Out
Phoenix, AZ
I may also be playing a solo set early on in the evening outside in the alley between Roosevelt and Lost Leaf.

Aug 7 9:00P
Rogue Bar w Dry River Yacht Club
Scottsdale, AZ

Aug 10 8:00P
The Trunk Space w Ah Holly Family, The Ocean Floor, Lauren Farrah, & Hunger Artists

On tour with the Whisperlights on our beautiful West Coast…

If you are curious what happens to people after driving for three days in a crowded van with no AC, please see the video.

Looking forward to playing the Langano Lounge tonight as a solo act w/ percussion by Dry River Yacht Club’s Henri opening for the Whisperlights.

Click here to see pictures of yours truly from a photo shoot by my friend Tiffany, who is somehow able to make even unphotogenic folks such as myself look interesting…be sure to also check out the rest of the galleries as well. Her other friends are much prettier.

“Tiny Eucatastrophes” has been selected to be played in the first episode of season 10 of PBS’ Roadtrip Nation.  A profile of mine should be added very soon at www.roadtripnation.com/listen.

Season 10 is a ways off…but it’s still an exciting thing.  More info will be posted here as the air date looms closer.

In the meantime, head to www.roadtripnation.com to stream episodes of what seems like a fantastic show.

Looks like I just got featured on CMJ’s Sonicbids Spotlight! Read it here.
