New Music is LOVE

I am sitting here on a Friday night after a day of sitting at my desk with my guitar in hand. My Bose PA cranked my newly made Samsonite Kick drum Plugged in and Thumping along.  I am mentally tired, and yet I don't feel anything was accomplished.  But practice is valuable.   As I am preparing for "BIG Kettledrum" and excited about new music.  I am excited about playing music with my Best Friend again. I am disappointed that Jono can't be with us.  As I search the net looking for musical inspiration I find it everywhere.  I love that you can find GREAT music anywhere.  It's humbling, it's frustrating and it's inspiring. When I hear "Mumford and Sons it makes me want to get a Banjo and get good at it. When I hear Johnny Flynn is makes me glad I play a Round neck dobro (Reso),  Last fall it was Ingrid Michaelson
I LOVE music. I love what it does to me when a lyric hit's home.  Lately I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash.  Truth in Lyrics, and a man who lived on the Edge of Life. I say all that to say.
New music coming soon from Me and my Best Friend "Big Kettledrum"  stay tuned.

BIG Kettledrum What?

I just played a show in Vero Beach South Florida and Had  a great time.  I played the Reso and kicked out a few new tunes.  One which will be on the new BIG Kettledrum  EP out in Late Oct.  I am now at my best friends house Brant Christopher and we are preparing for our new Project.  We are excited about the direction of the music.  Fusing a bit of the Old Fort Pastor vibe, with some Nu-Folk.  Very exciting.  I will be talking more about it soon.  We have a tour planned for Oct which is taking us from Kansas to California and Oregon.  I will have some details up soon.
