UPdates & DOWNtime
With the big Neumos/Cave Singers show and the Tractor/solo Dolour show behind me I’m excited to have some free time to work on new songs. As ever, each new song is taking me to new places.
While recording Shouting at a Silent Sky I didn’t write hardly anything. I wanted to stay in the “Silent Sky” mood as long as I could to see those songs through to the end. When I finished the album in February, I opened the floodgates for songs to start pouring - but it was more like a trickle. I’d write a little something here, a little something there - waiting for that cornerstone song to show me where where the music wanted to go. Finally by summer something was developing, and now I am well on my way to finding that next sound. Without counting my chickens before they hatch, I just wanted to let you know that during this (probably brief) downtime I am cooking up some new jams for y’all. Also, I am constantly looking for new ways to connect with the fans, be it Facebook, iLike, Twitter, ReverbNation. We also hope to play some more out of town shows before the year is out.
Keep checking here for developments on all of the above.
AND - have a spooky Halloween,

Dolour Revisited
File this under: “never say never”.
I’m playing an acoustic set of Dolour songs tomorrow night at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard. Opening for longtime friend and collaborator (he played lead guitar on the Years in the Wilderness) Josh Ottum’s CD release show. You can read my blog and suggest songs at Dolour’s myspace page.
If you wanna meet up before the show, I’ll be spinning records at Hazelwood on Market Street in Ballard (just blocks from the Tractor) from 7-8pm. Come on over, I’ll be playing lots of great R&B and Country, and Rock and Roll. See you tomorrow night!

NEWS FLASH!
Today Amazon is offering not one, but two free downloads from Shouting at a Silent Sky! Here’s the direct link to get both “Idle Hands” and “Death & Texas” for free!
And if you live in Portland come out to one of our shows tonight, and if you’re in Seattle we’ll see you tomorrow at Neumos! Gotta hit the road now!
