Plans & Vague Directions. . .

August 2024-

Work on the new album is just about complete.. All the tunes will be played on nylon stringed guitars and will feature some incredible musicians locally and from around the world. Among the musicians who contribute their artistry are cellist Crispin Campbell, bassist Jack Dryden, as well as cello and violin from Katie Larsen and Savannah Madigan (Buist) of the Accidentals. The album is being mixed by Corin Nelsen of SynchroSonic Productions and several tracks were recorded by Jack Conners at Perfect World Studios in Traverse City.  The album will be released by Raighes Factory in January 2025.

June 2023-

My most recent album, Cranes in the Moonlight, is available now. The new album includes 12 new original instrumental guitar tunes. Several of the tunes feature musicians from around the world who add cello, violin, flute, accordion, and percussion. Noah Zacharin makes an appearance playing electric lead on a couple of tracks as well. Northwestern Lower Michigan Artist Glenn Wolff has created a beautiful water-colored drypoint engraving for the cover of Cranes in the Moonlight. CD's and digital downloads are available at Bandcamp.
