I am unbelievably proud to be on this @skilletlicorice record. One of many pandemic projects I've kept myself busy with over the last year. The repertoire is incredible - exactly the kind of rich, beautiful, and underplayed material I'm most drawn too. The players are incredible. The label - @tiki.parlour.recordings - is incredible. Can't wait see this released!

My last traveling gig before the pandemic was in Lompoc Ca, and I’m excited to be heading back this weekend. Very excited to be joined by @ajbwood9 on guitar and @zacsokolow on banjo. Now we can finally play this Jesse James duet that I’ve always loved. Catch us Saturday at the Lompoc Wine Factory and Sunday at the Elks Lodge.

Wrapping a week of recording at @sonicranch record

Wrapping a week of recording at @sonicranch recording studio, tucked away in a pecan orchard outside of El Paso. I’ve been working as producer and arranger for a new album from @stephen.el.rey It’s still a long road to completion but I’m very proud of what we accomplished. We tracked well over 10 songs with a dizzying variety of styles and instrumentations. The project has been one of the most creatively invigorating of my career and I’m excited to help bring this music to the world. Special thanks to

@leilainia on trumpet
@sluprok on drums
