"We had a marvelous time recording with you. Always a pleasure to meet someone who shares our interests and hobbies. It also didn't hurt that you rock at what you do"

Went on my honeymoon in Mexico; had a blast. Now its back to work. I just finished Tommy Halloran's Album, a nice collection of original jazz tunes that he's been working on. If you've never heard Tommy you ought to check him out, he's got a cool New Orleans type of voice that just oozes with character. Cameron Matthews came out with an EP that sounds indie-rock-tastic, so go to his website to listen. There is also one track of his on my Recording page. Speaking of rock-tastic, I recorded a demo with Flood the Deserts, a super heavy Christian Rock band, and let me tell you, they all have some chops. There is an example of their work on my Recording page as well. I've also finally started work on my own EP, so check out My Music page periodically to see what progress I've made on it.

Been real busy lately, what with getting married and all. Just played bass at the Richie Kihlken CD release outside at the Loop on Saturday. Great time and a great crowd. If you haven't checked out Richie yet, the kid has got some talent, so look him up. Also, been recording more with the Radical Sons, who currently have the EP I recorded with them released on vinyl through Secretly Canadian Records' St. Ives Label. You can hear some of their new tunes, along with their label-release EP at their myspace page. They also recently had a single featured on Pitchfork and Tripwire, and were reviewed locally by The Riverfront Times.

Who would have thought, but getting ready for a wedding eats up a lot of time. I've been working on a new EP with Cameron Matthews, which should be ready to come out of the oven near the end of summer. It should be rock-tastic; we used a lot of odd recording ideas such as tracking vocals in my front stairwell, which provided a really cool spooky reverb. We got Ben Mazchek, who has played on numerous sessions for clients, to come in and bang the crap outta the drums. Look out for this one on the horizon. Oh, and if you're looking for a good open mic to go to, Cameron hosts one on Thursday nights at The Clubhouse near SLU.

I just finished an album with The Mad Titans, which was mad fun. Since they include some video game themes in their music, there was of course much video game talk, such as which Zelda was the best ("Ocarina of Time" if you ask me). I also finished up an album with 301 Broadway, who is currently looking for a bass player, so if you know anyone check out their myspace page and drop them a message. Look out on the horizon for Richie Kihlken's new release. You can hear a tune on my Audio Examples page.

Congrats to the Radical Sons, who are having the EP I recorded with them"Throwing Knives" released by Secretly Canadian Records (Antony and the Johnsons, Richard Swift). Also, you can find a review of Freddy Friction's album at the Riverfront Times website. Freddy, the owner of the now deceased Fredrick's Music Lounge is a bit of a local celebrity in the St. Louis music scene, and is definitely worth meeting at least once. He's got some great stories, and it really was a great experience recording with him.
