Look to the right of this post….. ----->>>

I just added a new widget that lets you listen to my new CD on the blog. It is just above the Instagram widget. I've got it set up so you can listen to the full CD. You are also welcome to check it out on Spotify or buy it on iTunes. Now you've got a soundtrack for my sporadic short posts. Your dreams come true, I'm sure :)

There it is in the top right of this photo!

A Sneak Peak at the New Album Cover Art

About 2 years ago I made a CD and put it on the internet (follow this link to see it on iTunes).

After I put out that album, I kept writing songs. Over the past few months, I was finally able to record them in our basement. Sometime next month, I'm hoping to get the album available online (maybe a Christmas release with a November pre-order option?). Sara helped me put together the new album cover. The back of the album really won't be on anything since I'm not making any hard copies, but it is still fun to make have.

I'll once again put the album on CDbaby, but it will also be available on spottify and iTunes. 

Something Special for the New Year

So, do remember that person in college or high school who would always grab the guitar as the night was fading? You thought, "Oh great. This guy again.  Maybe I can refill my drink or find somewhere else to be for the next 10 minutes." They might play a couple bad versions of "Wonderwall," Bon Jovi, or Jack Johnson, eyes closed, looking way too serious. You could sing along a bit but then they'd play an awkward "original" and you'd be stuck, on the sunken couch, too afraid to just get up and walk away.

Well, guess what? I was that whiney guy with the guitar, but, I whine a little less these days. I started playing during high school and got pretty into it for while. I've written probably close to 100 songs. Heck, I wrote one for the Owl Jones Rise fishing contest back in 2011, the contest that got me into making fly fishing videos. Thank you, Owl, by the way. (See the whiney song here).

This year, for my 30th birthday, my wife encouraged me to record some of my better songs "just for fun." Mostly she wanted me to record a song called "I Love July" that I wrote for her early in our relationship and played at our wedding. We had some friends visit this fall and one of them brought some recording equipment. We turned the living room into a studio, and the Dormroom Sessions was born.

On the CD, you'll find original songs, all written and preformed by me. I personally feel tracks 4, 5 and 6 are the strongest, "Little Red Squirrel" being the one that turned out best, but feel free to prove me wrong.

I hope two things come of this. One, I hope my friends and family and you all enjoy the music. I've enjoyed playing and writing for years, and it has been great fun for me. Secondly, I hope this album gets huge in Eastern Europe or Asia
and 2014 is the year of the Dormroom Sessions and I become famous like Jake Bugg or Psy (oops, looks like I dropped a few names there... I might have to pick those up before this page gets associated with those more popular search terms.... or I might just leave them).

Anyway, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best!
