New Song “The Dentist”
One of my goals for this year was to write more songs. More specifically a whole album’s worth of new material. Well the year is almost half over and I don’t have much in the way of new material. So I decided that instead of waiting for the songs to magically happen, I would try an experiment to see if I could be a bit more methodical about it.

Live on KKUP
Had a great time performing on David Stafford’s “Friday Folkoff” show on KKUP 91.5. Thanks again to David and Michael Berry for being so cool.
If you aren’t already, become a member of KKUP (I did). It’s super a cool thing that they are doing. It’s all volunteer based and the station costs are covered 100% by listener support.
If you weren’t able to catch the show on the radio you can listen to it on Soundcloud.
