If you noticed to the right I have music players up from my newest yet to be released album, my last album and other demos. All accessible from the panel to the left:) Lots of listening. I’m going to updated the music page on here as well.

I’ve been working hard, updating tunes, doing drums, adding guitars etc etc…

Anyway, if anyone wants to check them out, I’ve updated the first 9 tunes on here this past week. The new album is coming together and it should be mighty cool! I’m working on a kinda rock/pop full production album at the same time as a more acoustic/singer songwriter based album. Who knows which one will come out first!!! Enjoy!

Here’s a new tune that was written for an artist like a Gary Allen. What do ya think? Too socialally conscious?

Here’s a Video Explaining what’s up.

Marietta CD

Alaska Friends, get the Digital now and come to the CD release and get a FREE PHYSICAL COPY OF THE CD! Just make sure you email us your name and that you bought the downloadable CD.

Anyway, here it is! MARIETTA-PART OF ME

It’s an important part of being an artist. We can be very insecure at times and it can be hard to gauge whether what you are doing has any validity in other people’s eyes. If you’re trying to make a living through your art then you have to have something that other people value in order for them to buy it. Now, if you’re only doing your art for your own self expression and joy then this shouldn’t even be a consideration for you. More power to you and keep on creating!! For the rest of us Confidence is key! Whatever you have to do to develop it, work on it because you have to have some thick damn skin to mix commerce with your art!

I’ve been on quite a journey these last years. The beginning of 2008 took me to Europe and gigs all over Northern EU and Switzerland. That period took me up until January of this year. In that time I met and became engaged to a beautiful woman who became my wife this April. I ended a 6 year period of being based in Alaska and decided to move to Los Angeles to try film School. Ultimately though my passion for music extends far beyond the audio realm of film. I discovered that while I am interested in telling stories through motion pictures I would prefer to tie it in with my music pursuits. To that end we’ve decided to relocate to Nashville, TN to make that a reality and I couldn’t be more Jazzed!!! I’ve been working on new material and my songwriting in general since the release of my last CD in 2004 and I have many many albums worth of material. I continue to work on new material for my artist endeavors as well as my writing contemporary songs to try to publish and ultimately have other artists cut. Add to that my interest in producing, engineering, session work, road work and gigs and that should get ya started thinking about where I’m heading as an artist. For film, I’m  interested in creating music videos for up and coming artists and will pursue that direction. Overall, it should be fun times!! I’m looking forward to a great summer of working on new songs, recording an acoustic album of my material and doing a video for one song hopefully!! As long as you’re going forward then I would say you’re going in the right direction!

I’ve always done it for myself and for me, the music never stops in my head. It’s my GREAT LOVE in life and nothing can be done about that. I struggled for years to try to “make a living” from music and even though i made money, i was making compromises that made me extremely unhappy. So now, I’m doing music for he same reasons I started playing and writing for..BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!!!! It gets me off like NOTHING ELSE in the world and i’m in love with creating, improving as an artist and writer, recording, etc….

Think about the true artists..Monet, for example..He didn’t make a dime in his art his entire life but he’s regarded as one of the true masters and it’s clear from his journals and writings that all he was concerned with was getting better as an artist and creating! Being burdened with this desire for “financial security” was never a thing for him. He just did his thing and was broke but developed the art to an extremely high degree. We’re never going to see masters develop again like that unless they approach music from truly artistically minded direction and do not think of the financial aspects of it..Always the struggle of the artist and it’s a drag!

So I’ve come to the conclusion that for a real artist finding something that is relatively enjoyable that can make you steady money but that doesn’t “take over your life” like an all encompassing job, is key! Finding work that is fulfilling but that you don’t really have to put too much thought into it so that you can work on your art and let it simmer in your mind even at work! That’s probably the best kind of job for true artist to have if they are so inclined as to even want to bother with with “working” Some artists really have no time or desire to waste their time doing anything but their art.

IF you aren’t an artist to that degree and you just like music a lot..Maybe at a hobbiest level or someplace in between try to find a job you enjoy enough and at least like that also leaves you some time and headspace to be able to do your music when you can. Good luck!!! Living in the Westernized material world can really be a bummer. I lean more toward the Artist in that I don’t have the patience or desire to focus on much more besides music and now film which i’m into. Having to “work” is really a HUGE distraction for me…..I can’t imagine a more difficult or a more rewarding lifetime but we must accept who we are and enjoy this short ride!!! Good luck and be true to yourself lest you get to the end unfulfilled

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow come in the middle of the night.

It’s the quite time for me when My mind can slow down to reflect on how lucky I am

All the pent up emotion finally breaks through in a wave and I feel free

You see, crying has always been easy for me. I take after my momma that way

I find it’s kinda like an emotional cleansing. Ya get tired of having to hold it all in cause emotion is not something a man can express in this society. It can be music, a beautiful song that connects me to a memory or a feeling. It can be a movie with dreamy imagery and an evocative score that sets my emotions free. I just let it come man.

I feel the waves building. That chill starts to rise from within, the goosebumps rise on my skin and the water starts to well in my eyes working it’s way up the tunnels to the swollen tear ducts then finally it is released like Super Volcano!

There is nothing like the feeling of hope and calm you attain after such a sweet release.

It’s kinda like being reborn with a new chance. A reset from which your compass could re-calibrate towards your true magnetic north. Life has a way of throwing us all off course and that builds upon itself over time until one day you realize you don’t know where the hell you are. You know you aren’t where you wanted to go but you don’t know how to get back to where you should be. If you listen closely in the deep silence of the night, eventually your body will remind you. The subtle emotion will begin to seep from within and all at once you’ll understand. Let it point to your true north. It’s the only way for you to go.

You see, crying has always been easy for me and I hope it’s always that way.
