Happy March!

My birthday month is upon us. I’ve never quite understood the saying about how “March comes in like a lion” until last night, when I walked to the local convenience store through gale-force winds and thundersnow. Those barbecue chips were totally worth it, though.

Things are charging forward with getting the new record finished! This past week I’ve been listening to the first full set of House of Ghosts mixes Eric (of Eric Bert Audio) sent over, and they’re sounding fantastic. I’ll be getting my mix notes back to him within the next few days, and it’s going to be a wonderfully short document. I intend to have the album artwork complete by the end of next week, so a release date can’t be far behind… be sure to keep an eye on my various social media outlets for the latest news on all that!

I’ve also been working on upgrades to my recording space, Spontaneously Combustible Studio, where I recorded the new record, and am currently producing records for several other artists, including my good friends Kevin Conaway and Sean Benjamin. The studio now features a properly grounded electrical system, snazzy track lighting, and most recently, a logo mural (as pictured) by Kim Kennedy. If you’re looking to hire someone to paint something big on a wall (or something small on a canvas), head to allyouneediskim.com and hit her up.

I’ve got a few shows this month, including my yearly sojourn to Cape May, New Jersey to play at the Singer-Songwriter Cape May Festival, a show tomorrow night in Kent where I grew up, and a mid-week gig in Cleveland with my friends in Ashley. I’d love to see some friendly faces at those shows!
