Out of 3,594 band submissions, I am proud to say that my fans voted me into the top-10 to perform at The Outlaw Roadshow at SxSW! Even cooler, once in the top-10, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows (my all-time biggest musical influence) and Ryan Spaulding (of rslblog) hand-selected me to perform on the mainstage of the flagship event. Read all about it here.
In partnership with Americonic Films, I am proud to announce the release of the official music video for This Too Shall Pass. I'll admit, it was one very long, very cold day of shooting but, as you can see, it was well worth the battle. Thank you Glenn and Steven of Americonic Films for your visoin and passion and thanks to all of those that accept this video for the human project that it is. Enjoy. Like. Comment.
Fresh back from my shows at The Sundance Film Festival, I'm proud to report that it went better than expected! In addition to my headline performance at the Montage Deer Valley resort, I was able to open for Matisyahu, John Popper, Guster, Fuel and others!
In all, this was a really greaet life experience, all around, that I will never ever forget.
A little surprise recently fell into my lap -- without me even knowing, my 'ol original song That Moon was featured on an episode of Hart of Dixie. Amazingly, I only found out when a fan on Facebook sent me a “congratulations” after having streamed the episode on Netflix. Clerical error. Better late than never!!
THAT MOON
Hart of Dixie, Season 1, Episode 11, "Hell's Belles"
I’m proud to say that the remix of my song Big Hearts was featured in the closing montage of Flashpoint. This "viby" new version was remixed (up in Canada) by the very talented Jay Stewart and can be downloaded for free on Noisetrade. Oh, and watch for it on Netflix in the not-so-distant future!!
BIG HEARTS (Remix)
Flashpoint, Episode 506, "A World of Their Own"

Through my years of performing music, my rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" has become one of the most requested covers that I do. That said, because I've recently purchased a new camera (with the sole intention of creating a number of "home" music videos), what better way to kick off my new video endeavor than with a crowd favorite?
I have decided to draw a line in the sand on the pages of Facebook -- rather than double post each and every time, I solemnly swear that I will only post personal matters on my personal page and music matters on my music page. Here's the catch: you have to make sure that you're subscribed to the proper page...

I'm beyond proud to announce that Chevy has recently employed the use of not one, but two of my songs within their advertising! Yep, keep an eye out for the instrumental version of my song We Grow in their most recent Chevy Volt commercial and the instrumental of my song The Road bouncing in the background of a Silverado spot. Moving on up!
