Amazon.com

It’s finally happening, I’m available on amazon.com. This is the next level of legitimacy. Now I can submit some mp3s to Pandora and try to get my music played on that greatest of associative stream-of-consciousness internet radio stations.
Wish me luck, buy my CD, tell your friends, and check back on Pandora every now and again. Who knows, I just might get lucky.

Bluegrass Country

Well, DC folks, I hope you were tuned in to WAMU’s Bluegrass Country on your HD radios this morning! At around 10:42, I had my song “Lightnin Bug” played on the Lee Michael Demsey Show. This is a great show playing a mix of old traditional and (obviously) new bluegrass music.
For those of you not in the DC area or who don’t own an HD radio (me neither) you can listen to this and other great shows at bluegrasscountry.org where bluegrass music is played 24/7! Ah, the internet.

Song of Lost Jerusalem

Many thanks to Ben Richter for inviting me to play in his composition, Song of Lost Jerusalem, last night at the Gershwin Hotel. What a great show it was, and the first time I’ve ever bowed the banjo! Thanks Ben!

10 Minute Talk Show

I’ve been invited to perform on 10 Minute Talk Show! Check it out online at 10minutetalkshow.com – I’ll post the link when my episode comes up. Brand new show, so show some support as they get up and running!

EDIT – my episode, about the Internet, will air July 15. Check it out at 10minutetalkshow.com when it goes up!

CD Release Show @ Swan Loft

This is the big one! I’ll have several musicians from the CD to play with me as I introduce On the Tracks to the world!
Little baby songs, all grown up into a plastic disc and a cardboard jacket.
Well, the cardboard is recycled and the songs are new originals – all 10 of them – so this should be a blast!
I do hope you can make it if you are in the Brooklyn area. If not, there’s plenty of ways to buy my CD, including Amazon, iTunes, and even (sort of) mail order! Check the CD page for information and updates.

Flying south

Songs are up! Please comment on this post if you have problems viewing the player on this site. There is also the player on MySpace, but I hope this one works for you too.
So I quit my job and I’m heading home to DC, leaving the city of New York! Summer is upon us and brings with it many folk festivals. I’ll be working with a small acoustic music store at many area festivals all summer, so come say hi!
