“Music is a betrayer of secrets; it is more treacherous even than dreams, which at least have the virtue of being private.”

Now available on all platforms: “Music, Lyrics, and Life,” the audiobook. Narrated by me with a new afterword. I’m so happy to give greater access to this book that’s become part of arts programs across the country. Also, I’m psyched to accompany touring artists on those long drives and flights.

This was a crazy ride, and I hope you’ll join me on it.

This is not a nomination - it's the first round of voting which ends Oct 15 for voters within the Recording Academy. In November the real nominees will be chosen.

Please spread the news, and check out his brilliant version:

It’s the first office I’ve ever had that doesn’t have four wheels and a leak coming from somewhere in the undercarriage.

May I ask a favor? If you have a minute, would you review or just give five stars to my book on Amazon? I feel kind of like a jerk asking, but I feel that the book is worth me feeling a little jerky now and then.

Anyway, if you'd like a signed copy and handsome matching bookmark, DM me directly or go to my Bandcamp page.

Thank you.

Good morning. New song. "Between the Lines," dedicated to that moment when we ask ourselves, "Am I doing this right?" If you know you know; if you don’t, hit play.

This is the fourth release of the upcoming 5-song EP "Familiar Blue" and it’s one of my all-time favorite recordings. I hope you enjoy it.
