My albums Queen Fareena (2009) and Old Stock (2005) will soon be streaming this October! Keep your ears open.

Mark Your Calendars - My self-titled record is slated to be released January 8th, 2027 on Dogstreet Records. Aside from streaming, it will be available on LP and CD formats. 

The Cover Art is Officially Finished. Huge thanks to Bailey Toksöz for the incredible cover photo. With the artwork wrapped and release approaching, I'll be sharing more details soon along with some upcoming merch and other newsworthy info.

With the record mixed and mastered, I wanted to post some details about the new record. Just prior to landing here in TX, drummer Jesse Shultzaberger and I were able to get the groundwork laid for this record, and joining that rhythm section is Randy Ball on electric bass. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude in having these two cats on the record. The music heavily stems from my Country/Americana Roots/Hill Country Blues influences but also leans heavily into rock. Jesse and I have coined it Delta Rock. I’m super excited to get this record out and into y’all’s ears! Guest musicians include Lloyd Maines on pedal steel, Ian Stewart on fiddle, Dan DeVenter on fiddle, and the return of Brian Simms on accordion who also played on Queen Fareena.

This week is another milestone: the new record is mastered! It’s a been a real pleasure working with Alan Douches at West West Side Music on mastering the new album. My Queen Fareena record was also mastered at WWSM, so I knew I was in good hands. More details to follow regarding release info.

With mixing complete, today really feels like a landmark. Huge thanks to Casey Johns, my mixing engineer at Yellow Dog Studio in San Marcos, TX. It was certainly a team effort — I couldn't have mixed this one on my own, and it's sounding better than I had hoped for.
