Hot off the Memphis press...

I've been releasing a lot of new songs and videos in 2020, and The Memphis Flyer has been supportive every step of the way. Declared Goods released my latest single "Unspoken Hopes" this week, and Alex Greene gave it a glowing review in yesterday's issue (along with a few other choice selections). Thank you Memphis! Check it out...

TRAVELS

By the spring of 2020, it was clear that the pandemic would prevent me from booking any tours. I decided it would be a good time to go through the photos I've taken while traveling to gigs around the USA, UK, and Ireland during the past five years. Here are a few from the collection, and click HERE to see the galleries.

There's only so long that you can ignore intuition. Recurring ideas, plans, and dreams have a way of finding their way out the unconscious mind and into waking life. "Unspoken Hopes" is about your inner voice manifesting itself into reality through repetition. This song deals with leaving 2020 behind and allowing our instincts to guide us into the future.

Shane doc

I watched the new Shane MacGowan documentary last night, Crock of Gold. A beautiful story and a cautionary tale. Inspiring and tragic, but ultimately an honest portrait of the brilliant artist.
