I first heard rumors about this several weeks ago, but didn’t post anything because I figured it couldn’t possibly be true. Uh uh. No way. Not happening Today, however, the news comes straight from the hardest multi-instrumentalist ever to rock a Day on the Green, master of the heavy-metal church organ, the co-hammer of the […]

So I took Radio Nowhere out on the town yesterday to the SanFran MusicTech Summit, billed as a convergence of people interested in the “evolving music/business/technology ecosystem”. That sums me up pretty well, and unsurprisingly, I had a good time. My main takeaway? Music is gonna be huge, just huge, on the internetz! Okay, seriously, […]
The Good News: The first video for a Days Between Stations song, London Calling is here! The Bad News: It’s this video… Maybe I should try not to blow the entire video budget on tequila next time…
[audio:shotgun.mp3] As you might have guessed from my piano playing…I’m a guitar player. This means, among other things, that I don’t know anything about synthesizers. The upside of this kind of total ignorance is that when I’m messing with an instrument I know absolutely nothing about, like a synth, my utter lack of technique leaves […]
[audio:shotgun.mp3] I’m a big believer in the power of mystery and well-intentioned obfuscation when it comes to music.

[audio:halfwayhome.mp3] Halfway Home has been through so many tweaks and different versions over the last few years that I’ve lost count. At one point I had an entire hard drive that was devoted exclusively to this song. It suffered a career-ending meltdown last year and I had to start the song again from scratch – […]
[audio:halfwayhome.mp3] Halfway Home is the oldest song on Days Between Stations. The beginnings of this track go back quite a few years, to a New Year’s field trip that I took with a bunch of friends to a remote part of Death Valley National Park. It’s called Saline Valley, and it’s about 50 miles from […]
What’s that guy talking about? Here’s your chance to find out. Press the big blue play button and follow along with the lyrics. [audio:halfwayhome.mp3] There was fever in the coal black boots that she wore She danced like a hurricane coming ashore Yeah, the warning came but I was too far gone Tied myself to […]
