Never Miss A Release
I’m an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. I make guitar-driven rock inspired by the 90s college radio scene (#altrock, #poppunk). I write about it too. Take a moment and follow me on your favorite streaming platform (Spotify, Bandcamp), and be sure to sign up for the mailing list!
Latest Release: Providence (12.31.23)
Providence is a new twelve-song throwback to mid-90s grunge alternative rock. Each song helps tell a love story (yes, this is a concept album) of a couple trying to make a long-distance relationship work over a year-long period. In the early days, things were amazing. Sort of the love at first sight feeling, where everything feels magical, and the possibilities are endless. But then, somewhere along the way, reality sets in, and the magic seems impossible. So, there is a big drift. During this period, neither of them is happy, so certain tracks get focused on loneliness and depression. But then, right when it’s needed the most, there is a reconnection. An olive branch. Both in the story grip the branch tight and fall back in love. The album ends on their first face-to-face meeting and a rekindling of the love-at-first-sight feeling. Stylistically, I chose to go back to my roots and try to make an album I would have made in 1997. It felt strangely liberating to crank up some distortion (I love the big muff) and play power chords. Dan Konopka, c/o Siren Sound Recorders and Mixers co-produced, mixed, and mastered the entire album. Finally, a special thanks to Gene Micofsky on the lead guitar.
