doo d'doo doo doo Residency.
Greetings.  Also salutations.  I’m aboard a sun country flight between Las Vegas and Boston by way of via Minneapolis.  New favorite airline? I want to acknowledge all the well wishes that poured my way after that ugly day in Indy -  both to me and to the whole family I work with.  I don’t think I needed to be reminded how lucky I am, or how grateful I should be for all the...

sweet goog's.
You guys?  We’re in Walllingford Connecticut today.  So far - squishing my enormous winter down coat into my suit case seems to have been overkill.  But at least it’s made shlepping through the airports more fun.  So it turns out, these “christmas radio shows” are usually a mixed bag.  some bands are on tour - others are just in for a one-off; some are working their first...

what a blast!
Howdy. Fil here. Just home from a little cross country run with Leslie and the Badgers and Ferraby Lionheart. Pictures to come soon. There were certainly a lot of highlights – but near the top – turns out there’s a band we shared a bill with called Spontaneous Nugent. Just saying.

I’m writing to you now from Asheville, North Carolina - where i’m working with Sally Jaye on a record. Clay Blair is at the helm - he’s the ridiculously talented youngen who mixed The Water Tower (forthcoming - i promise!). i’m sinking into a couch under the heat vent listening to Jay Brown playing dobro in the live room. The man is sick. But, you know, like in an...

Ventura, California
Ventura, California. Beautiful beach town. Thriving art scene. Destination for the discerning music fan. Home of Zoey’s Loft and Cafe. Tonight we’re heading down north with our dear Holly Conlan for a split bill.  Personally, I love any excuse to get out to Ventura.  It’s kind of like going to New England - but more here-ish. Also - just a quick note of great thanks to the folks...

operation aloha
Once upon a time - about 4 years ago.  I moved to Los Angeles from New York.  Enough with the noise and the yelling and the sarcasm (actually, with the sarcasm: never enough) - i needed a big fat change after years of struggling to live on music in the big city. I landed on my friend’s couch - one Christopher Wray-Mccann - in Hollywood, who was already deep in the planning stages for what...
