Taking London by storm!

Greetings humans,

I trust you’re all bundled up nice and cozy, mining for bit coins, protected from winter vortexes. Well, 2017 has been a…strange year to say the least. Between contentious Star Wars flicks, contemptuous presidential administrations and super hurricanes, it’s been nothing if not eventful.

As some of you may know, I’ll be traveling to London next week to record at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and will be keeping you guys abreast on my goings on!

Here are some gigs!

-On Friday January 19th, I’ll be back at the Lamb’s Club for the dinner set with Carte Blanche

-On Monday the 22nd, I’ll be at Macao in Tribeca, also with Carte Blanche from 8:30-11

-Tuesday the 23rd and 30th will find usback at the Gin Parlor from 6:30-9:30

-On Wednesday the 24th and 31st, I’ll be back at my favorite cigar lounge, the Owl Shop with the Hawkins Jazz Collective from 9-12

-And on Monday the 29th, I’ll return with Carte Blanche to Rockwood Music Hall

And here is a link for my latest record,“Pieces for Electric Guitar”. Please do check it out it’s actually kinda good. You can totally steal it but I hope you buy it.

That’s all for now folks!

Greetings humans!

It’s that time of year, when all of Southern California is on fire and New York welcomes hordes of shoppers and amateur photographers, adjusting their flashes for the 3pm dusk panoramas, alas, all without a snowflake in sight.

But Rejoice! The gigs!

Greetings humans,

Oh hey, its me again. No it’s really me, not a Russian internet troll. If you don’t believe me, you can confirm my identity by following twitter page and donating to my GoFundMe so I can finance credit card scheme and install nationalist politicians I MEAN…purchase all vodka in the Ural mountains and donate to thirsty orphans. Yeah…

If you made it to the end of this lengthy soliloquy, congratulations! Here is a link to my new album, “Pieces for Electric Guitar”. This record was conceived, composed, tracked, mixed, mastered and produced in about a week of toiling away in my apartment. Part elegy for our current times, part meditation on post-minimal music and part joyous foray into compositional chestnuts I’ve been toying with. Please check it out and consider purchasing it if you like it.

Here is a link to my new album, “Pieces for Electric Guitar”. In early November, I got a wild hair and over the coarse of a week, wrote, recorded and produced an album of ambient, post-minimalist guitar music. Enjoy!
