Patio season! Live music mixes well with a little summer soul.
Nothing beats playing outside with good people, warm air, and a relaxed crowd taking it all in.

Thanks to everyone who came by and made the afternoon/evening feel special. What a fantastic private show in Qualicum.

I’ve just shared a new studio performance of “Anytime” by Brian McKnight” on my YouTube channel. 🎹🎶

This song has always meant a lot to me, and I really enjoyed putting my own spin on it. If you have a moment, I’d love for you to check it out.

If you enjoy the performance, you’re welcome to subscribe to the YouTube channel and stick around for more music.

Anytime Enjoy Howard Anderson’s heartfelt rendition of Brian McKnight’s cla...

"Like a flame in the dark", a thread of sound ignites and begins to travel.

Closer To You is my first release as Marsmetic. A piece built from voice and keys, carrying both the weight of stillness and the lift of release. Music meant for the in-between...where intimacy and distance meet.

It’s the first of many, and it finally steps out into the world today.

It's Bandcamp Friday
Every listen and download goes directly to artists:

The Closer To You Official Video premiere is today! Join me at 12 PM PST on YouTube:

Here’s to the beginning.

I am thrilled to announce this next step!

Closer To You is the first release from a catalogue I’ve been shaping over the years...countless late nights in the studio layering voice, keys, sax, and other instruments while chasing that space where sound and feeling connect.

It’s taken time, but this release marks the moment where the music I’ve been holding onto finally starts leaving my room and heading out into the universe. And there’s much more to come.

By the way, I went with Marsmetic because it felt like the right balance, a little cosmic, a little human. Big and expansive, but also personal and grounded, kind of like the music I make.

🎧 Bandcamp Release Tomorrow — Oct 3 is also Bandcamp Friday, when Bandcamp waives their fees so every dollar goes directly to artists. If you want to support this debut in the most direct way, that’s the day to do it.�👉 https://marsmeticofficial.bandcamp.com/track/closer-to-you

🎥 Official Video Premiere — Friday, Oct 3 at 12 PM PST on YouTube. A YouTube premiere means you can watch live as the video drops and chat with me and others in real time.
