I'm going on tour playing drums with the City on Film from the end of March into early April! Truly excited for this.

I'm playing drums in a new band called Pyramid Scheme. We're playing our first show 1/17 at the Friendzone.

Anthony Leitch and I are putting some final things together for the About a Million record we did together a couple years back. It will definitely be out this year, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with the musical universe.

Options the Band will be playing a show at Quencher's on 1/13... details and more live dates for a bunch of bands are in the "live" tab. Album is maybe 80% done, but the end is always the hardest part.

Pinegrove just dropped a track called Problems that they recorded with me last year via Topshelf Records. Very awesome song and wonderful human beings.

Hello, I've mostly completed tracking a new Options record, and it looks like I'll be finishing it this month. Additionally, I've assembled an awesome new lineup to play these songs live with. 

Option$ 2015.

A first round of main guitar and overdubs have been tracked for my forthcoming Options record. I'm supposed to lay down second guitar tracks next week, and getting my guitar fixed this weekend to make that happen. I have intentionally not written many additional guitar parts for this record, because I've found that spontaneity usually helps the melodic underpinnings flourish, rather than pre-writing additional guitar parts and "learning" them to repeat back on the record.

Matt and I finally started tracking vocals for Coaster's record last night after a couple false starts. Everything is sounding great and we're roughly 1/4 of the way there. Feels good to finally be committing these parts to a record. We don't have any shows coming up as of now, just focusing on finishing this record.

Next week, I'm going to be mixing New Color's first full length. It's been tracked for a few months, so I'm really looking forward to tying up its' loose ends.

Lifted Bells is playing next week in Chicago and St Louis.

Drums and bass for my new Options record are finished tracking, as of today. Coaster also has completed instrumental tracking for our new LP and will be starting vocals ASAP. My hands hurt from playing bass all day, but it's cool. Probably just means I should play bass more, right?

Finished tracking for Ratboys' LP, Great Deceivers' EP, and completing a couple more projects this week. It's all coming together, and now I have a nice heap of projects to mix! Imelda Marcos' LP and the Normal Years' EP both have been released, and pertinent links are located in the "recording" section of this site.

I've begun tracking my 4th solo full length with Matt Kissinger (Coaster) assisting me in engineering. Additionally, I'll be playing an Options show on my birthday with Great Deceivers, Nature's Neighbor, the New Diet, and Mitar. Holy shit. Yes.
