Day 16 – Tom Waits Burned Santana’s House Down
Music, News / February 16, 2015Got a backlog of things to post for the last several days. In the meantime here’s another tune I did for the Berklee Abelton Live Class on Coursera. It’s kind of psychedelic, jazzy little ditty. I’m going to have to play around with this one a little bit more.

Music, News / February 10, 2015Here’s a short song in-progress that I threw together for the Berklee Abelton Live Class on Coursera. Kind of a Boards of Canada Glo-Fi thing. My 6-year-old daughter named it for me.

ViewNew video: Martin Devaney’s Over My Shoulder
Music, News, Video / December 31, 2013I shot, directed, and editied this music video for Martin Devaney’s Over My Shoulder from Rock For The Rules Volume 2.
Rock For The Rules Volume Two is underway
Music, News, Rock for the Rules / December 8, 2012I’m currently working on the second installment of Rock For The Rules, another fundraiser to benefit Leah and Rob Rule. (The first one can be found here.) Leah is currently in hospice care at home after battling cancer for nearly two years. All proceeds will once again go to the Rules to help cover medial expenses and lost wages.
Volume two is going to be doozy—an amazing musical love letter to Leah and Rob. So far I’ve lined up about 35 artists, including Ike Reilly, Rank Strangers, Kruddler, Billy Dankert (Gear Daddies), Dan Israel, Mike Nicolai, The Roe Family Singers, Impaler, and many others.
The talented Mr. Pat Moriarity created the cover art you see above.
There’s even a website, rockfortherules.com, although there’s not much there yet.
Pre-orders should be up soon. Stay tuned…
