The purpose of an artist is to make their audience feel - something, anything. It could be a laugh, or a shared sadness, or that rare connection and powerful moment of realizing you are not alone in your experiences. The best songs make that connection. They weave the threads of human experience into a grand tapestry of connectedness.

I am currently working on fleshing out some great songs I've written over the last few years, recording rough demos in my home studio, and really trying to get some solid pieces for you. My plan is to have all these tracks recorded and demo-ready by the end of October, then I'll have YOU give 'em a listen and together we'll round up the five Best songs of the bunch. I'll then take those songs into a much better equipped studio (with someone much smarter and more patient than I at the board) and track them really well with some ace musicians. I'm superexcited to get this Music out!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for coming along on this ride with me!

All the Love in the Universe,
