"Love Is a Negotiation" drum video
I've been getting a lot of questions about the drum groove on my song, "Love Is a Negotiation", from the Things Moving EP.
Here's a video showing how I played it in the studio.

Live at Signal Flow
I've been so busy lately with online promotion for my new EP, Things Moving, that I neglected to do the most important thing...PLAY SHOWS! Last night I finally got to play some new songs in front of an audience at Signal Flow in Memphis, TN. Had a great time!

New single out today!
"Love Is a Negotiation" is the second single from my new EP, Things Moving. I had a lot on my mind when I sat down to write this one, and it took a while to get it all out. The song went through a few different versions before I arrived at the final arrangement. The driving rhythm of the acoustic guitar provided me with the momentum to keep at it until the lyrics were just right. As the title suggests, love can be easy or complicated; and sometimes all at once. Listen HERE.
