Also … Open Mic at Coalie Harry’s has been great so far! Come see me again this Thursday around 9pm!

Alright … one more performance for the record books. Last night I played the Open Mic Night at Coalie Harry’s in downtown Winchester, and I just rocked the house … ok maybe not, but I had a lot of fun. I played Lucky Town, You, Born, I Know (Which Way), Lucky Town again (by request), One, and The Time Is Yours. As usual, and as I anticipated, Lucky Town got a huge reception. I don’t really think of it as my best song, but everyone else seems to think is, so why argue? 🙂 Anyway, I have (or will have soon) posted pictures from the performance.

Furthermore, for at least the next two Thursdays I am planning to play the Open Mic again. On January 27th I will be going to the Six Pence club in Parkersburg, WV to play for a songwriter’s show, where in attendance will be some representatives from the Nashville Songwriters Assocation International. We’ll have a little private demo, and then play live after 9:00. I am going to pitch Lucky Town, and if I am incredibly lucky, I might get it out to the public somehow. I’m crossing my fingers.

February 1, I will be playing the Open Mic Night at Shenandoah University, and it’d be great for everyone to come out and see me. This will likely be the biggest crowd I have ever played for, so I anticipate it with enthusiasm. It is my understanding that this Open Mic recurs the first Wednesday of every month, so I will probably play it again some too.

I guess soon I’ll have to add an “Events” link to the left hand column of my page … it sure is getting full. I’m also thinking of making a “Top Ten” section, where I list my favorite 10 current songs, all-time songs, etc. I think it will be interesting, though it is incredibly difficult for me to name pick favorites. It may also end up being “Top 50” or something like that.

Hey guess what! I finally have … well sort of … performance news. I am going to play (or at least go to — play if I don’t chicken out) at the open mic night at Coalie Harry’s in Winchester on Thursday night. Come listen to me. If I record it I might post the lofis.

Oh yeah … and for any of the rest of you … take a listen to at least one of my songs. Most people would recommend Lucky Town, but there are lots to choose from. If you want a suggestion, email me — I’ll help you out, or sign up to my forums (FREE of course) and discuss it with some more of my fans. As always, thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Happy New Year everyone! I cannot believe it has been two years since I put this site online. Hopefully, this year will bring great things to my musical career. (Of course 🙂 )

As you have probably noticed, I have made a minor facelift to the front page in order to facilitate use of my site for the increased number of new users I am receiving (Thanks in great part to the Million Dollar Homepage). Let me know what you think of the updates.

I feel very confident now in my projects, and I hope to hit the studio heavily to pump out my new stuff, as well as new versions of the old songs from my “demo albums.” I’ll keep you posted. You’ll notice the songs I update will appear as underlined on the Albums/Projects page.

Lots of people are asking me about “Two Sides Of The Same Soul” and when it will be ready. Well, I just can’t settle on it. Honestly, I dislike about 85% of the lyrics just because they are mostly prose and way too open for my normal style. I like the fact that I’ve said what I’ve said, but the way I say it seems so contrary to my style.

Nonetheless, I hopefully will begin recording soon. Maybe that process will lead me in a direction more suitable to my style, even with the new kinds of lyrics. I’m in the mood to record newer versions of older songs, so I may post of few more of them soon. Also, check out my Audiostreet updates.

I went ahead and made and uploaded demos of “Dissolve” and “Reflected” from my Two Sides of the Same Soul project. “Fall Away” is another new one, but it has too many vocal parts for me to make a one-man demo, so it’ll have to be a surprise in the final version … if I ever make it that far. 🙂

I had mentioned that I might take the forums offline to a few people, but I think it’s better to just leave them in place — at least for now. Maybe some of you newbies will take advantage of them (hint hint) !

As for other news, I made a new recording of “Disillusionment” and, well, it rocks. I will probably make a few changes to it, but the preliminary recording is now available. Also, for some reason I still didn’t have the right version of “Pieces” up, but it is now. Take a listen — I would greatly appreciate some feedback.

Where have all the cowboys gone? My forums lie dormant, alas their thrill was but temporary. Nah there is always solace in potential don’t you know? And of course, it has been more than a month since I have posted any news.

For all of you new visitors, take a listen to a few of the songs I have up. If you like bluegrass, you’ll probably like “The Holler Wind” on my project “Sneaky Whisper.” If you like rock, well “Unnatural” is the album for you. More into acoustic stuff? Try “Triad.” For just plain music lovers, well click a song and try it. There are lots of songs to whet your appetite. Once you listen, log into my forums and tell everyone what you think! Then just spend the rest of the day browsing all the random (and not so random) stuff that is here.

For everyone else, I have added lyrics to two more songs on “Two Sides Of The Same Soul.” Check ’em out! Only one more to go (maybe) …
