I finished mixing Nnamdi Ogbonnaya's new EP, and he should be sending it off for mastering soon. We recorded the instrumentals in 11 hours over two days this summer, and he tracked most of the vocals at his house. Here's a song that Adam Salsberg and I recorded for Space Jam's compilation album:



I've been recording tracks for Mike Walker's new You Me & the People album, and they sound great so far. Mike's an excellent musician and you should definitely check out his work. Here's his track Adam and I recorded for the Space Jam compilation:




Dave Hennessy and I have been making steady progress on his debut full length, which is shaping up to be refreshingly varied and thought-out collection of sweet pop songs he loves to craft. Check out the final track from the last project we worked on together:



Exactly one week ago, Coaster began tracking our first EP. Drums are done, and everything else is in the works.

Cage Match finally posted two new songs, and will be playing our last show for a long while this Saturday, 9/14, at the Flowershop in Humboldt Park, Chicago.

Well, it took quite a long while, but I finally got around to redesigning my site! I'll be updating it much more regularly than I have been, and I hope you'll have a look around to see what's new. So anyway, here's what I've been up to:

 - Just got back from an almost-3-week-tour with Coaster. We released a new tour demo that I recorded and mixed as well, with the intent of working towards an EP in the very near future.

- Lots of Options shows coming up, as well as recording for a couple new releases that should be out this fall/winter.

-  About A Million's LP that Anthony and I have been working on for the last two years is nearly complete and will hopefully be released within the next month.

- Cage Match finished basic tracking for an LP. We're playing our last show for a whiiiile at The Flowershop.

- I've been recording and producing lots of music for other people! Lately, I've been working with the likes of Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, You Me & the People, Dave Hennessy, and many more. If you're interested in recording with me, please get in touch!

YO! I'm on tour with Coaster. Check out our dates and catch us while we're on the road!

We just put up a tour demo. Have a listen!

I did audio for a live session with Emil Landman last Sunday, and it turned out really really awesome! Here's the first song that's been released from it.

On Wednesday, July 24th, I am playing my excellent friend Michael Byrnes' senior recital. We'll be playing our debut show with Bathing Resorts (I play guitar, Michael plays bass, and Brendan Smyth from Waterhouse/Nervous Passenger/Freudian Slip plays drums). Michael's friend Emil Landman is in from Europe and will be playing second, and I'll also be playing guitar with Coaster, who'll be finishing out the night. The show is free, so there is no real reason not to come.

What You Want, the second Options full length is out 7/11 at 12:00am. You can get it via Bandcamp.
