French Tour 2011
I didn’t want to leave France. None of us did. It didn’t start that way though. We arrived to chaos. The car at Charles de Gaulle was a no show and Tim was already in Rennes, three hours south. My manly response? Hyperventilate. I had to perform in six hours. I was stranded. In a…

ER Live on YouTube
I recorded a live song today. If I go the way of Icarus, I wanted to leave with a smile. “ER” from the new CD.

Interview with Australia’s The Cud
A little while back, Evan Kanarakis of The Cud was kind enough to listen to my upcoming CD and lend me his thoughts. The following link is for an interview that we did a month ago. Do I spill on it? A smidge. But only a smidge. You can read it here.

Endormi
This song was recorded as an experiment. J’apprends le français. 🙂 The lyrics have now been adjusted thanks to the assistance of Christope Garnier. 🙂 The video for this song on YouTube was taken down due to a recording error. We’re shooting it again. It’s looking lovely out though so I imagine we’ll have it…

The JV
It’s not Junior Varsity. These shots were taken August 23rd, 2011 by Portland, Maine photographer Jessica Verry. It was our first Portland performance of the new CD and a first with the full band. As always, Terez from Blue on Congress St. was a gracious host. The show was sold out. We have wonderful friends.…

Province Sessions – Demo 1
I’ve decided to post a series of five demos that were from early 2010. These are songs that didn’t make it on to the new CD. They’re rough, and in most cases, unedited recordings of ideas that from a two-day practice that came to be known as the Province Session. I’ll explain more about the…

Revealed Indeed
The first large scale photo shoot for the new CD was staged in a 250 year-old house. It’s claw-foot bathtub was filled with water and my body was partially submerged. The effect was not unlike a ’70s horror film…complete with grainy 35mm images to match. This didn’t go over as well as I’d hoped. People…

El Cid Video Director’s Cut
The original version of this video was created several months ago for Clip Records. It was a contest submission by the filmmaker Rukshan Thenuwara and it won. The great thing is that it was created without any input by me. The song isn’t about alcoholism but the video proved to be a great example of…
