Hello my peoples,

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to put enough brain cells together to write a blog, but today I was able to round up just enough. So here goes…

This past weekend my good friend Sean Beavan finished mixing the last two songs for my new solo album. With some hard work and a little luck it will be released in August. We’ll be announcing more info, including album title and release date, very soon. I have also booked 3 shows in the Midwest next month, and they’re conveniently listed to the left of this message. Click on the venue and band links for more info, including how to buy tickets. More shows will follow to coincide with the record release, so stay tuned.

I’m excited to preview some of the new material at these shows, as well as to just get out and play my own stuff, from Bash & Pop to Perfect to “Village Gorilla Head.” I’ll be playing these shows with a full rock band which will feature Mike Gent from The Figgs, Tim Schweiger, Jon Phillip from Limbeck, and with a little luck Emily Roberts will be joining us. There will also be some special merch at these shows – new t-shirts and silkscreened posters. I can’t speak of any surprises because they wouldn’t be surprises anymore, except to say that there may be a few good ones in store. HAHAHA — how ya like them apples?

I’ll also be helping to finish the new Soul Asylum record and playing some shows with them over the next few months, including dates in Chile and Peru. And if that’s not enough for all of the good folks down in South America, I am pleased to say I’ll be at Rock In Rio with GnR in October. Yippee for me!!!!!!!

It’s gonna be another busy year for me. Looking forward to seeing all of your faces out there.

Happy Spring,
