The Trouble with Good Advice
Last Year's Prayers
Stale Air

My current project, a "progressive blues" duo with Shannon Lipps. I wrote, performed, and recorded everything but the female vox. Our focus is on live performance, so a CD release is uncertain at this point, however here are some originals to tide you over. Visit our MySpace page for details and calendar.

iiixxx
Jack's Smirking Revenge
Shaggin' Wagon

Here are some misc. cues I've created in the past few years for video/film productions. If some of the timing seems odd, it's to synchronize with on-screen events.

The last four cuts were for a car racing video, with Rod and Chad Caylor on drums and bass, respectively. I only wrote, performed, and mixed them; tracking was done elsewhere.

Dirty Laundry
She's a Beauty
Don't Dream It's Over

Demo recordings for my '80s band, circa 2003-05. I mixed and produced, and performed the guitar and backing vox. Zip file of some live tunes here.

When October Goes
Wasted Years

A 2002 EP, following my upgrade to a Pro Tools system. A blend of prog-rock and electronica, tongue planted firmly in cheek.

God Only Knows

In 1999, the goal at that time (foolishly) was to play in as many different syles as possible. The other tracks ranged from piano ballads to musique-concrete to a Beach Boys cover. Recorded in Bias Deck3 with an arsenal of guitars and Alesis synthesis.
