I am moving to Boston on Friday to go to Berklee. I anticipate a fascinating and extremely challenging experience-- nothing more and nothing less. I am returning to Cincinnati on September 27th to play at the Midpoint Music Festival. Please check out shows for more details, and also the updated multimedia section.

I'm back in Cincinnati for the summer after my first year at college. I decided to transfer from the University of Missouri-Columbia to Berklee College of Music, so I'll be moving to Boston in early September to pursue my musical studies there.

I've booked some gigs this summer in Cincinnati. Check out the shows section for an updated list. The soonest one is next Thursday, May 24th at Dirty Jacks. I'm very excited because two of my very favorite local artists: Peter Adams and Lisa Walker of wussy will be playing as well.

As always, the myspace is the best place to find out what I'm up to and get news/show info/new recordings/etc. One could convincingly argue that myspace has rendered band homepages obsolete. Nevertheless, I'll keep updating this guy periodically, just in case.

I added a new show for January 26th. It's my first real gig in CoMo so I'm excited. Also, I'm playing bass guitar in a band called Blevins? So check out the track "Cut My Losses" at Blevins?'s myspace wherein I contribute piano, bass, and backup vocals. As always, the most up-do-date info on my comings and goings can be found on the myspace...Happy new years!!

So, I'm moving tomorrow to Missouri for college. The best way to keep track of my comings and goings will be the myspace...Lata.

Some good news and bad news. The good news is that I have a few new shows lined up.

I'm opening for Katie Reider on July 14th at Club 202 in Columbus, and I'm opening for the Walker Project on July 18th at the Northside Tavern. I am real excited to be a part of these shows!

But here's the bad news: I had to cancel my show with Julie Neumark in August because I'm leaving for college the day before the show, which all sucks a lot.

In other news, "My Love" continues its upward ascent on the garageband charts. It's currently track of the week, ranked 19 in the alternative pop category, and has an 4.8 average star rating (out of 5).

I just added a show at the Northside Tavern for June 13. I'll be doing a 30 minute solo set along with other singer-songwriters, including Lisa Walker of the band, wussy.

Also, I created an account on indieclectic, an itunes-like service. You can purchase my songs for 99 cents a piece. Of course, you can download my material for free on this website, but it'd be cool if you felt like supporting the artist. I created a garageband.com account too.

I recorded yet another rough mix (there is nothing else in my musical world at the moment) of a Peter Adams song: "Cementalisque." Peter is a young Cincinnati musician whose self-released debut, The Spiral Eyes has some truly incredible pop songwriting and production.

Another rough mix of a new song is available for download. It's called Landfill and it's different from anything I've done before so check it. (I probably shouldn't be putting unfinished tracks out there, but o well, haha).

New song called "Stuck in Stone" is available for download. Very rough mix but check it out regardless.
