I'm very excited that the Dirty Three are releasing a new album 2/28/12.  You can stream it here in the meantime:

Also, I scored two shorts recently that were shown at the Pacific Place theater this past weekend - a fantastic short called Zinka by the wonderful Collin Neal - chilling, sad and brave in about 11 minutes.  I also scored the short 3 for co-director Marco Scaringi, which turned out better than I could ever have hoped for.  It was a great honor working on both of these films.
I also played a minor show last night on Capital Hill.  It was just me and my acoustic guitar.  I did play one of the new songs - Can We Sleep Tonight.  I played Scott Adams, Josh Lanza, and a fantastic jazz trio (though I think they are usually  a quartet) whose name escapes me.

I've added a new video of my cover of Echo & The Bunnymen's Seven Seas to the video page.  I hope you enjoy it.

Just wanted to let you know that I have posted two songs from my Hey Beautiful project at www.heybeautifulmusic.com.  I hope you enjoy them.  Also, editing is about half way done for the film.

Happy 2012!  We finished shooting the film and have a rough edit done.  I'm hoping to have it done by early Spring 2012.  I also recorded 6 songs with Mackenzie Buchanan.  We are calling our project Hey Beautiful.  To check it out, please go to www.heybeautifulmusic.com.  I am hoping to announce some new shows and more information on the album very soon.  Thanks.

We are almost finished with shooting for the movie.  Things are coming out very well and we are very excited to complete this and share it with you.  I am also working on a new collaboration with Mackenzie Buchanan.  We're working on finishing several songs before she moves back to Connecticut later this month.

I recently completed the music for a dance piece.  The choreographer and dancer is Ines Andrade and Milo Tobin did the filming for the video.  Please check out the video page to view what we came up with.  I hope you enjoy it.

We had a marathon shooting session for the film this past Saturday.  A very special thank you to Mackenzie Buchanan and Milo Tobin for all of their help with this.  Editing and a little more shooting lie ahead.  More information as things happen.
I'm reading the Haruki Murakami book ,1Q84, right now and really enjoying that and listening to a lot of Tuneyards.
Take care.

We are working on a new release date for the new album, Capital of Sorrow.  We are hoping it will be sooner rather than later.  We are also working on a film to accompany the release.  We've already begun shooting, but the concept involved will take a bit longer than your normal film as you will soon see.  Thank you for your patience.  There are a couple of new songs on the Sounds page for you.
