Writing with a stranger is like making love to someone for the first time.  The end result can be a combination of torturous elation or regretful horror.  At least with sex there is some instinctual warning that, whether followed or not, supplies clear perspective as to the outcome of said debauchery.  With songwriting it’s all [...]

NEW Music Posted on myspace: “hush” is your first taste.  Take a listen and tell me what you think – would love some feedback.  After all, this record is for you – it might be a good thing if you like the material. Remember, it’s only the demo – there’s a ton that can change [...]

I’m notorious for sharing – too much – too soon. Call it a flaw – I just get so damn excited. I’m constantly reaching for the words as they fly from my mouth (or fingers) – wishing I had held on just a moment longer – let things marinate or actually come to fruition before [...]

well family, it’s finally up. fresh from the confines of casa de brush – a new ditty for your perusal. I literally left the studio 15min ago and wham bam thank you mam – here she is!!!! REMEMBER: I MAKE HEADPHONE MUSIC – COMPUTER SPEAKERS SUCK “empty sheets” is the first of MANY new songs [...]

4/15/08 Monday afternoon – the forty-three degree breeze is a quick reminder that winter is still an annoying stalker that just won’t take a hint. I continue the process of planning the record. Delays and the ever present “waiting game” are especially frustrating today. I’m sitting on a bounty of new material and all I [...]

Another “sky-side confessional”. 10am – 35K above the ground – headed back from my someday home – Chicago. what an amazing city. I was there only moments but it was enough to once again infect. My goal – never reached – to taste the deep dish wonder of Pal Joey’s (a pizzaria on the north [...]

… I left the studio with one vocal complete and the frustration of four more waiting. We (Chris & me) planned a tight production schedule and the days (2) set aside for vocals were no exception. There were special mics acquired, weeks of anticipation and endless hours of finding the right blend (musically). The first [...]
