MUSIC FOR YOUR EARS
This past week I found myself attending a funeral of a friend that had committed suicide. Gut wrenching shock with 100's in attendance. A definite crying out loud in your car on the way to work kind of moment. Less than a week later I find myself at a show playing this song called Dirt … Continue reading Dirt Farmer
Just a quick reminder that we are playing Uncommon Ground on Devon tonight at 7pm sharp, opening for the Iowa songwriting duo Society of Broken Souls.

Hi All, Sorry it's been a little while since my last post. I've been busy with the day job and most importantly...building a new rehearsal + recording space!

I've been getting this question a lot lately so I asked Management. YES - you can bring your kid to the show! Totally acceptable. It is not a playground, it is a tap-room so you'll want to keep a leash on them. Kids cannot sit at the bar but are totally welcome to sit and … Continue reading HEY, CAN I BRING MY KID SATURDAY?

In 1989 I was living in Mesa Arizona and won a guitar on a radio contest. I'll tell you all about that entire story in some other post. The main point is that I won a guitar and I ended up in Rock Falls, Illinois after my mother's death. That was a pretty shitty Christmas … Continue reading 1990 Rock Falls, Illinois
