I've been meaning to do this post about our new community site for months now, but I've been super busy with our new community site.

After some discussions with Mike Lombardo, we have decided to start a community site for artists not unlike ourselves. It's called Too Much Awesome and you can find it here. We have also started a companion podcast and are on our 4th episode where we interview everyone's favorite uke player, Molly Lewis. Other episodes include Russ Rogers and Paul and Storm. You should head over there right now and sign up. Everyone is doing it.

Continuing with my FourTrack Sessions I offer you "Mile High". While waiting for our flight from Las Vegas back to Burbank, I jotted down a song idea. Once in the air, I excused myself to the bathroom, launched my FourTrack app on my iPhone and recorded this song. As far as I know, its the first song recorded on FourTrack from an airplane.

Thanks for listening!

Mile High

Tired of simply listening to my music over and over again, stopping only to eat and sleep? Don't worry, now you can play my songs ala Guitar Hero! Some of my music is now available at Jamlegend.com. Just click on the link and follow the instructions. WARNING: This game is a little addictive.

Thanks for listening! (and playing)

P.S. New FourTrack Sessions coming soon...

...just way too busy.

I've been asked by several people if I will be competing in the next installment of Masters of Song Fu. The answer is no. I simply have far too much on my plate at the moment to participate in this round. I do, however, expect to be entering the next one.

What do you have on your plate, you ask?

At the moment, I am recording a CD of "kid friendly" pop music for toddlers (I have three children under five, if you were wondering what my motivation might be), mastering my first EP (not for kids), and writing another albums worth of material to release as my first official "Album". Not to mention a contribution to Viva La Fry and a few custom songs for some friends and fans. While I LOVE doing the Song Fu thing, I have come to realize that entering into every round is keeping me from finishing up these other projects.

In other news: I have a few more songs from "The Four Track Sessions" that I will be uploading soon, a new music store, and plan on doing some YouTube performances in the near future (requests welcome).

Also, my wife is evolving her blog to talk more about life and how to find beauty in all the chaos. Check out http://www.thesilverwhining.com/.

That's about it for now. I may be heading out to Boston for a couple of months and am considering doing some shows. These would be the first live performances I've done in over 10 years, so it should be real "treat". If you live in the North East and want to come out and hear me, let me know.

Thanks for listening!

It looks like this is going to be the final round for me in this edition of Song Fu... (but go ahead and vote for me anyway!) Thanks to everyone for their support and votes. Head on over and give all the songs a listen. It's definitely worth it... and besides, it's free music!

Here is my latest submission:


It All Makes Sense At The End

I have finally updated and added my music to my YouTube page. I am hoping to start making some videos. Make some comments. Perform some songs, etc. Want to see or hear something specific? Let me know. Thanks for listening!

I recently wrote and recorded a new song as part of Rednosenet.com's Red Nose Day celebration. "Do Something Funny for Money" is this years slogan, I believe. Thanks for listening!
