Ain’t The Same As Before

| March 12, 2009

I’ve got a busy week of shows ahead in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. I will literally be road testing the new songs from my newest CD, Ain’t The Same As Before, which I plan to release in April. I must admit though, I do have a little post-production-depression. While I enjoy being on the road [...]

My Happy Place

| February 20, 2009

After three days of driving, I am finally in Vermont! And though I am tired, I’ve managed a somewhat unusual but ceremonious ritual upon arrival: a dinner of New England clam chowder and a couple of Long Trail Ales. I know, it’s so New England-y, but how else do I physically and emotionally prepare myself [...]

Happy New Year!

| January 22, 2009

Happy New Year! 2008 was a great year for Lucky Nugget Records. We kicked the year off with a great show at the Boulder Theater, which was recorded and is now available as a live DVD. In February, I reached new audiences by playing a few gigs in Australia. The Lickskillet Road CD got a [...]

Half a Century

| December 2, 2007

My friend and co-writing buddy, Kevin DeForrest, turned 50 yesterday. That means he was born in 1957….when The Everly Brothers, Jimmie Rodgers, Buddy Holly, and Elvis were on the top of the music charts. It was also the year of some very cool classic American cars. I read about a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere [...]

The Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor

| November 23, 2007

On Tuesday night I joined host Jon Chandler and guest artists The Laws, at The Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor in Arvada. Jon Chandler, a Westminster-based singer/songwriter and award-winning author with four acclaimed CDs in release, hosts the songwriter series once a month there. It’s a great vibe. The Laws are Canadian husband-and-wife singer/songwriters. Their songs [...]

I was invited to be a part of a panel discussing artist development on Thursday. The panel participants were from a variety of media and music groups that [...]

Lickskillet Road CD Mastered

It looks like we’ve set a date to have the new CD, Lickskillet Road, mastered on Friday August 10th! It’s been a long, slow project, which has been a challenge for me. It’s no secret that I’m not the most patient guy on the planet. But, patient or not, David Glasser at Air Show will [...]
