Middle aged, middle class, songwriter from middle America.

It’s my birthday week, my gift to you, a four song album that I’ve been laboring over for months. It’s a concept album chronicling the journey of a good kids road out of an unstable home and into the foster care system. Even if it doesn’t relate directly I think you can find bits and pieces of yourself in there. Wanted to release it early for all you nostriches.

Hell yeah that’s sweet!!

I have a song that’s ready to put out but I’m looking for some help with the album art.

It’s called You Should Waste It, and it’s about the joys of wasting time when you’re young. Please comment any picture you may have that you think would work for the cover and I’ll consider using it. Thanks in advance Nostriches.

We played a show with Bong Mountain a while ago and I got to say the best joke I've ever had on stage. As we got ready to start I said, "Let's give it up for Bong Mountain? What a stupid band name... We're Monkey Robot War." One guy went "HA!" and thats the beginning and end of my standup career.

Anyway, the drummer and bassist of Bong Mountain came over one Saturday as well as my co-writer Justin and we wrote this song. Not polished up, but we decided it's better that way.

I had “see the aurora borealis” on my bucket list, and I can check it off. So, very cool.

If you live in Ft Wayne Indiana we’re coming to your town! We’ll be there in a week. And by we I mean one of my bands Death by Lions.

One of the kids dated this peculiar kid for a couple weeks. I was showing him around the studio and he asked for a notepad and he started feverishly writing down the “parts” of a song. He was broken up with in a week, but I found the notebook and tried to write the song he had written down. The only lyric he had was “back road.”

It’s really coming together out there. We shot a live performance video in there last week, can’t wait to show everyone.

nostr:npub18gp8p84hjmjh9zejdlyqqcg22sj6x3qra0q2ng4v6cxxg95sav8q0mcg5e I see so much potential in Nate’s home studio.

It’s my favorite place to be. I went through a lot of basements and garages to get here. But the slog makes me really appreciate it.

Spent the day figuring out how to use every bit of gear I’ve collected over the past decade. So unnecessary, but so awesome.

Anybody read the “manifesto” that guy that lit himself on fire wrote?

Pretty fucking wild man.

I met Austin online and we’ve made a few songs together but finally have something out for people to listen to. I give to you Beth, a very weird Kiss cover.

Some friday Nostalgia, a song that pulled me out of a writing slump last year, and those floodgates still haven’t closed. Let’s party.
