| 05.13.08 | If you missed last week's WEFT Session, you can stream/download all the recordings here. Yes, those are new songs on the setlist. And Chicagoans, don't forget to make reservations for this Friday night at Uncommon Ground, where I'll be performing with Jeanne T. Arrigo. I'm hoping to tumble around the Windy City a bit this summer, so if you decide to come out to a show or two, I'll be as happy as a moose. |
| 03.30.08 | "Words of the Wise" has been (wisely) used in a promotional video for "Archiculture", an upcoming documentary about the academic experiences of five diverse architecture students. The film looks interesting, so you should definitely watch the trailer and the aforementioned Archicast3. Also, "Coffee on the Rocks" is featured on the latest Indie Launchpad podcast (#93). Listen and leave some love! In other news, The Oasis, also known as the Grayslake Youth Center, is having its long-awaited grand opening on Friday, April 11th. I'll be playing along with TCBD and Butterfly Assassins, who are about to release their full-length debut "Sylvia" (which is fantastic, I might add). The Oasis will be all ages for the opening weekend, so there's no excuse for all you meddling seventy year-olds not to come. |
| 03.11.08 | So I released a new compact disc ("Counter Intelligence") a couple weeks ago, and it's currently available to buy at shows, online via PayPal, at Champaign's Exile On Main St, and at Urbana's Parasol. Be sure to check the shows section, because there are a slew of upcoming events that I'm excited about. Oh, and happy new year! |
| 11.12.07 | In case you missed my on-air interview and performance on WPGU-FM 107.1 last night, you can stream or download it here. For some reason, the stream cut out in the middle of "Words of the Wise," but you've all heard that song anyway. A big thanks to Lauren and WPGU for having me in the studio. |
| 09.18.07 | Ten shows, a Six Flags season, and a hospital stay later, and I don't really have much to say other than thanks to all the patient people who haven't forgotten that I'm still working to put out a piece of plastic for their enjoyment sometime before the Good Lord takes me. Please pester me with e-mails until I get it done... And you think I'm kidding... |
| 04.12.07 | An important update: I will no longer be playing the Savemore Lounge show as stated before, for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, lawsuit threats... Note to self: do not book shows on Friday the 13th... Also, 24 Hours of Music is being rescheduled for April 28th and 29th due to weather. |
| 04.11.07 | I play at 3PM on Saturday afternoon as a part of Bradley University's 24 Hours of Music, a benefit concert featuring 24 different artists to fund the public schools of Peoria's District 150. The festivities begin at 7PM on Friday night and go until 7PM on Saturday. Attendance is free, but donations are greatly appreciated! |
| 03.20.07 | The kind folks at Jstreet Radio have invited me to appear on their weekly broadcast for a live acoustic set and interview. If you have a computer (and functioning ears) you can stream the station here and listen in from anywhere on the globe. Otherwise, if you live in the Lake County vicinity, you can listen on the radio at WRLR 98.3 FM. I highly encourage you to call the in studio phone (847-546-9757) to say hello on the air! The show starts at 8PM this Thursday night, and I will be on around 9PM. |
| 02.25.07 | If you would like to purchase tickets in advance for this Friday's show at the Canopy Club featuring the star-studded lineup of Santa, The Squares, and Company of Thieves, be sure to e-mail me. |
| 01.18.07 | First and foremost, a belated happy new year to you and your loved ones! I got a considerable amount of work done on the upcoming album during my winter break, but I now find myself preoccupied with literature, essays, and applications. Thus, it will take longer than expected, as I do not intend to cheapen it with false deadlines and such. Blame it on my teachers... In the meantime, check out the new Bovine Music Show podcast (070121), which features "The Cell." |
| 11.21.06 | Listen to the latest podcast (061126) from the Bovine Music Show, featuring "Words of the Wise" and an abundance of other music. |
| 11.02.06 | Two new shows... The first one is at Champaign's Mike 'n Molly's on November 13th. I'm playing with Oceans and Instrumental Quarter (the latter is all the way from Italia). If not for the music, come at least for a beverage or two. The second show is in Grayslake over Thanksgiving Break with some amigos, including Matt Enquist. Plus, it's absolutely FREE. So bring turkey or something... On a different note, does anyone know a violinist that would be willing to record an accompanying track on a song for the new CD? |
| 08.30.06 | Be sure to check out the first compilation CD from Stolen Mix Tape, featuring the song "Dissociation." It was handed out by Steven Vance at Grayslake's Rock in the Park 2... Also, feel free to request my music at anytime on Crossfire-Radio, an uncensored online radio station that plays just about anything. It's easy to do. Just go to requests and click the song you want. |
| 06.16.06 | Summer is upon us, folks, and I have two upcoming shows that you should consider attending: one in Bartlett on Saturday the 24th with an assortment of artists and the other on Thursday the 29th at the Grayslake Public Library with the one and only Sarah Jin. If you're feeling guilty about not keeping up with your summer reading, come to the library a little early. Since it will be outside, feel free to bring a blanket and a smorgasbord. Oh, and I started recording. |
