This October is a sobering time in many ways, but we, the people, are getting stronger and our desire for peace and social justice is our fire. My debut album, PREACHER MAN - VOL. 1, will be formally announced on October 9th and the pre-orders will start on that date, along with the release of a new single! The fierce of urgency of “now” will be celebrated in the music you will soon hear. Thank you for reading these blog posts and for supporting my music!
Read MoreI admit that I have yet to go to the beach this year. That’s sick! And one of the best Labor Day weekends ever just passed … and I was inside for almost all of it! Well, that’s the price of commitment — my commitment to finishing my very first real music album this month for release in October!
Yes, PREACHER MAN- VOL. 1 is almost done! (I have to keep saying that to myself because this world full of distractions is out to keep me quiet!) But it is indeed true! With multiple studio sessions completed — and several yet to be completed — the shape and sound of this work has emerged, and I am so excited!

Now, it’s time for GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON protests on Thursday, July 17th. Please plan on participating somewhere somehow!

My response? The times mandate music and all forms of passionate expression from artivists like me … and I am heeding the call. My latest composition, NO CROWNS FOR CLOWNS, was written and recorded during the two weeks leading up to Independence Day. Our new video was aggressively pulled together for this song during the past two weeks. We wanted it to be ready for Thursday’s GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON protests!
