A group of guys that love the harmonies of the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.  Their debut album is just coming out.  www.lowstars.com

This retro-soul group kicks. Their most recent album is very good – check out “100 Days, 100 Nights”.

I really like some of their music, but the harder screaming stuff isn’t my bag. “Fully Alive” is one of my faves.

I used to play with (sometimes), record (lots), and help promote (frequently) these guys when they were Uncle Pete’s Parade (with a different singer and drummer), Bindle (with the current singer but a different drummer), and…well, I can’t even remember all the name changes.  Nevertheless, Matt, Tony and Daniel rawk out and have a groove that you just have to hear to appreciate.  Don’t miss Goodwin, or you’ll be sorry.  These guys are always in my ipod.

Don’t You Fake It is a pretty solid album, led by “Your Guardian Angel” and “Face Down,” though the former gets the most listens from me on a regular basis.  www.redjumpsuit.com

Looooove these guys. Try “We Intertwined” for a great example of what they are all about. www.thehushsound.com

Around The Block.mp3

Someday I will finish this.  Recorded in 2003.   Just another demo.

Highway 84.mp3

The original songwriter’s demo of this song, which eventually made it onto J. Gilligan’s compilation in 1996, although in a more polished format.  The song is missing the guitar solo in the middle.  Almost everything here was sampled, other than the organ and vocals.  We eventually recorded the whole thing live.

Drum Solo.mp3

This was recorded at a live outdoor concert in 1986 or 87, when I was around 17.  I switched from drums to keyboards in college, though I have recorded some tracks where I play drums since.

Cigarette Away.mp3

Written in ‘93 or ‘94, before I started my music studio. A simple piano ballad. There’s a story here, ’cause I never smoke.  This is a live demo I recorded in 1996.
