Hey guys,

Thanks for being so patient with me these last few weeks. I know I went on a hiatus, but it was much needed. Things are starting to look up for my health and my work so soon we should be 100% back to good stuff.

In the meantime I’d like to catch you up on a couple of my out of town trips.

I mentioned that I was going to San Francisco in my last post, well I came home with a whole lot of pictures and new experiences. Travis and Jane took real good care of me and I am so so thankful for all the kindness.

Then I came home for a brief 2 days and flew back to to WI to attend the Dark Songs Festival and play an in house concert at the Holiday Music Motel.

After missing my flight, forgetting my wallet, getting searched, and flying standby into Chicago unable to board the plane to Green Bay, and being transported half way to Green Bay by a kind man named Steve Smith, I finally made it to Sturgeon Bay WI around 1am missing the concert. We rescheduled for the following night, and it was fantastic.

Dark Songs commenced that Sunday. I must have written over 15 songs. It was absolutely exhilarating and I really really needed that. I spend most of my days with Charlie Cheney (www.charliecheney.com) and Noah Engh (www.thekidfantastic.com). We wrote many of the songs together and just had an all around incredible week. It felt like summer camp.

So overall, i came home feeling better with a suitcase full of good memories. Thank you Pat Macdonald (www.patmacmusic.com) and Melanie Jjane (www.melaniejane.com) for getting me up to Sturgeon Bay.

Now, we should be getting back to the normal swing of things. I will start blogging regularly. Also I will be doing some video blogging in the near future here once I figure out how to run everything.

Our calendar is pretty much filled for the rest of the year, so please please please hop over to the tour page and see where we’ll be playing and come out.
I just finished work on yet another EP which I will be releasing Nov 20th @ The Local 662 in St Petersburg FL. It will be another hand made, limited edition print, but this time around I will make it available for you guys out of state to order online and Ill ship it to you.

So to recap, Im back for good! And the new EP comes out NOVEMBER 20th! Again, lots of new songs and new artwork.

I cant really tell you guys how much it means to know you’re still out there keeping me in mind. Its always a pretty scary thing to take a break, because you don’t know if when you come back there will be anyone left to care. It feels good to know thats not the case.

Coming up soon I will be taking on a lot of new ventures but thats for another day and another blog.

Love you, stay warm.

Hello friends and fans in FL,

I have a secret I am going to reveal right now:
If you remember me talking about an EP a while ago, then you will also remember it is going to be released at the end of this week. This new record is DONE! (yes!!) and so is the music video for it.

Now, the record is an ONLINE RELEASE ONLY(!!!!!) which means we will NOT be printing physical copies, which also means, if you want it, you need to get it from iTunes.

With that said, we set up a TOP SECRET SURPRISE show this Friday (September 3rd) at the Local 662 in St Petersburg FL, where we will bring 100 ( only 100 ) hand made and drawn limited edition copies of the new record. This will be the ONLY chance you will get to buy a physical copy of it, best of all, a copy on which I slaved all day to handwrite everything and draw covers.

These are going to be numbered from 1 to 100 and will be the only ones of their kind. We are so excited and pleased with this record, we couldn’t help ourselves but sneak and make some prints.

So, please, please, please, this FRIDAY SEPT. 3rd, come to The Local 662 ( 662 Central Ave., St Petersburg FL 33701) at 10pm. Its free so come and save your money to get the limited copy of the record and buy a drink. We will play the ENTIRE new EP from start to finish to start the night, and then will play some other new Full band songs.

Recap:
*New EP online release only comes out Friday on iTunes along with our new music video.
* TOP SECRET SURPRISE SHOW, FRIDAY SEPT. 3rd, 10pm ( FREE!!) at the Local 662 in St Petersburg (662 Central Ave. ).
* ONLY 100 copies of the hand made print have been made, once they are gone, we will not make them again.

More news to come on friday, until then, plan on coming out to the show. We will make you happy.

Your little worker bee
