This is a fairly simple guitar part I came up with a couple days ago and my friend talked me into recording it. It needs words- perhaps that will come later.

This is a song I wrote tonight- an attempt to develop a fragment dating back almost 2 years. I hope you enjoy it!

Yeah. I wrote this one a few days ago. There were a lot of triggers- it's not written about one specific person. I hope you enjoy it. Also- I double tracked harmony vocals on this- but I'd rather have a different voice than mine. If you want…

This is a live recording from last night (Jan 24, 2013). I played a show with my friend Zack McCarter (unbelievable songwriter) in Knoxville. Most of it was me playing lead during his songs (it was his show) but we ended with him backing me for…

This is a song I wrote after a series events involving a vehicle accident that ultimately ended in my truck, my first vehicle ever, being impounded. Ultimately I ended up getting her out. It's a long story, and I wrote a lot of pieces of it into…

This song is about a major reversal of fortune, and was inspired by what I thought was something like that- something on the level of the dead coming to life, I guess. It may appear to be a gospel song- but at the same time... not exactly. I hope…

Experimenting with musical ideas on guitar, and enjoying the sound of the new strings...

There were these two sisters, both gorgeous and super intelligent. One of them mentioned the book "Lost Horizon" by James Hinton. It was their favorite book. So I read it. And it was really strange and interesting. So I wrote a song about the…

This is a love song I wrote for a friend of mine. Both of the "guitar" tracks are actually a hand-built electric banjo that used an aluminum pie pan as a resonator. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the music!

There are some ways of making a living in which, even though the work may be moral, you profit off of others suffering. A brief brush with that was the inspiration for this tune. A lot of musical weirdness (cook pot percussion, playing a standard…

I wrote this song quite recently- a couple weeks ago, when I was in Texas doing oil work. 2/3 of this song was written acapella, in the middle of a sixteen hour shift... at, of course, 4AM. Hope you all dig it!

This song was written from the perspective of people going through great suffering. This is the album version, recorded on hand-built instruments. The rhythm instrument is a electric banjo with an aluminum pie pan resonator... the lead is an electric…

So, I was down in Austin, Texas- for the record, that is one of two main music cities I would consider moving to (the other is New Orleans, where I once lived for 8 months post Katrina but I digress). Anyway I had played an open mic and someone…

This is a super dark jazz tune I wrote when I was working as an expedite trucker in a cargo van. A lot of stuff had happened and, well... the song pretty much speaks for itself. I don't need to go into specifics- but it's a very intense "I was…

This is a song I wrote for the Nowhere Advent project (Christmas music). It's a little subversive maybe.

This is a love song I wrote for a friend of mine. It was a risk to do it, because I wasn't sure how it was going to end up (badly, ultimately). The "guitar" is actually a homemade electric banjo using an aluminum pie pan as a resonator.
