Just got back from Tampa where I played at the Seminole Hard Rock with Michelle Branch. I played acoustic guitar and banjo and sang backup vocals, along with Chris Null, who also played acoustic guitar and sang backups. I had a blast; Michelle is a delight, and we are doing a gig next week in Japan!!
I did the score for a short film called Strings that was just released today. It was written and directed by my very dear (and talented) friend, Jimmy Loweree. Ch-ch-check it oooouuuutt!!

Awhile back, I recorded some guitar and piano for this album, which is now out for your listening enjoyment. Go get it now so you can say you were into Miya before she became a humongous star which is basically going to be tomorrow, because she is amazing, so you know... hurry up.
Buy it on Bandcamp or go stream it on Spotify if you want her to get basically no money for it.
I recently played guitar and piano on the super-talented Miya Folick's upcoming album Talking With Strangers. Go read some of the nice stuff people have been saying about the first single by clicking on the blog banners below.
