The new record is coming along quite well. We debuted some new material at The Fire a couple weeks back and plan to keep doing that for the rest of the spring/summer. No release date is set yet.

We have some great shows coming up including an opening spot with David Bromberg on June 9th at Sellersville Theater.

I am in good company on this list with artists like Adele, Paul Simon, Wilco and more. You can read the full article here. Thank you Michael and everyone who get behind this record and helped make it a great year for me.

You can get CD copies of “Asleep In My Shoes” for only $5 until the end of the year. They come with digital download and shipping is free. That’s super cheap! People have really responded to this record this year, and that has been a great experience for me. I hope by making it affordable you will share it with more people who haven’t heard it yet. Click here to get your copy and one for a friend!

Friday is also Record Store Day, which is an awesome way to support local business and find unique and limited edition releases of new and old music. Keep your eyes out for other local artists, many of my friends have put out great records this year including Hezekiah Jones, Psalmships, American Babies, Griz, Up The Chain, Chris Kasper, Hoots and Hellmouth, Honey Watts and more.

Tuesday I am playing Philly Sings Philly at the Fire. I’ll be doing songs by Huffamoose, The Lowlands and more.

Happy Thanksgiving!
