Whew, this page hasn’t been updated since March. Lots of stuff has changed!
First, I’m very proud of how Thank You For Everything turned out. There was a tremendous out pour of positive feedback about the music the meaning, and what the goal of the EP was. The mission to keep Scrappy’s memory alive and to keep positive things coming from his passing is still going on, but that was a great start.
On a happier note, I’ve been getting a lot busier with music. A few auditions in the past few months that went really well, and I’ve been playing with a lot of people lately. Meeting new people.
My buddy Sean and I started a synth pop/grunge cover band, and last night, I got to fill in on lead guitar and play with The Cash Band as we played the Broken Spoke in Austin, and got to play with some great guys, and see a few familiar faces! That’s always fun. The circumstances weren’t ideal though. I got a call Wednesday afternoon offering the fill in position, and then did my best to learn the 20 song set list as quick as possible. Stressful, but we pulled it off.
On the new music front of things, I’ve been writing a lot of music, and know exactly what direction the next EP/album will go. It’s different. I don’t feel the need to go heavier with each release, but to see how well emotion and the concept of the music can be conveyed. And with this, it definitely has the ability to do that.
But by far, the biggest news is the show we have coming up next month. This will be the first time playing my original music with a full live band, and I couldn’t be more excited! This is one dream coming true that’s been long awaited.
The show is “Battle for Knotfest”. A battle of the bands, where instead of recording time at a local studio, the winner gets an opening slot at the upcoming Knotfest in California! Tickets are $13 advanced, or $15 at the door. I have tickets I can mail out, so if you want one, get in touch and you’ll have yours! (Click here for the full event page)
Thank you guys for reading, and I’ll update again soon.
