Pleased as punch to announce that I’ll be performing at the Kimono My House Festival this Saturday at 5pm. There’s a TON of talented folks playing all weekend and all proceeds will get funneled to a few of our favorite live music venues here in Atlanta and Decatur.
As the world goes on lockdown, my friends Andy Gish and Kim Ware put together a fantastic online community where musicians could perform virtual house concerts. Everything I’ve seen has been fantastic so far and I can’t wait to dig into all the stuff I’ve missed.

I’ve been working in the studio on 8 tunes that will make up my first solo record in something like 14 years! Moving right along! Hope to have something to share sometime this Summer. XOXO
I didn't do a ton of shooting this year, but it's always a privilege to get in the pit and up close to the music you love. Also, holy close up of my face.

Super-excited to say that I’ll be in the studio all weekend with Dan Dixon working on some new recordings! I’ll post some updates after the weekend to let everyone know how it went!

11 years is a long time between gigs, but that’s exactly how long it’s been since The Yum Yum Tree have played. While I’m not an original member, I played in the last incarnation of the band, and if memory servers me I think our last gig was at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC. That room was always on my bucket list so I will be forever grateful that I got to rock it.
Tonight’s show is a private house party, I wish a million people could show up but I don’t think we’ll have enough folding chairs.
My first attempt at Facebook live was not a total disaster. Next time I need to turn the phone around so I can see if anyone is watching.
This is the most delightful thing on the Internet today. Co-produced by Super Deluxe alumni Aaron Byrd, it's wonderfully shot, scored and edited. Aaron even makes a few cameos. Make sure to watch the video. Great story. Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them. https://nyti.ms/2xHTtBk
Congrats to Matt Slate and Brian Roberts of Pohgoh for getting that sweet, sweet endorsement from EarthQuaker Devices. Well deserved my friends. Have a blast in Japan! https://www.earthquakerdevices.com/pohgoh
