Album 2 in the Works

At long last, I am finally working on Album 2. My friend, Nels Jensen, and I are trying to do this record as DIY as possible and are actually recording most of it in his "studio" - i.e. apartment. You'd be surprised what you can get away with if you use some good gear and have someone who knows how to operate it. Like on Trouble and Debris, I will be performing most everything on the album except for drums and a few backing vocals. Fantastic drummer Ray Weston (Wishbone Ash, Tom Jones, Gavin Rossdale), whom I know from performing with Julie Neumark, will be lending his skills to the project and I couldn't be more excited. I think Nels and I are going to be able to produce a quality recording with great songs that I hope you will enjoy. More progress reports to come soon.....wish us well!!

Campaign to Save Paste

Paste Magazine is a great independent music magazine that is in danger of having to stop its presses due to the struggling economy. This magazine has been very supportive of quality independent music in its short 6 year life and it would be a shame to see them have to close their doors. Recently the company launched the "Campaign to Save Paste" to raise money to keep the magazine afloat.

From pastemagazine.com:

"If you are in a position to give even a little, please consider donating. As thanks for your generosity, over 70 amazing artists (including The Decemberists, Neko Case, Bob Mould, Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls, The Jayhawks, Brandi Carlile, John Roderick of The Long Winters, Patterson Hood, The Avett Brothers and Josh Ritter—with more to come) have gathered and donated rare & exclusive MP3s for all who join us in the campaign."

Fall Tour, vol. 2

So, I've been extremely terrible about updating my blog here. It's far too late to post entries about the rest of my fall tour with Julie Neumark, but if you click HERE you can watch a video blog of the rest of our shows on the tour. I'm gonna make an early New Year's resolution to be better at this whole blogging thing from here on out. Hope you enjoy the videos....see you soon.
