Super fun last show. Thanks everyone for coming out. Riviera Too

A little slow Monday morning therapy. 🌙🎸

No destination. Just turn some k***s and see where the sound takes you.

This Magnatone Amplifiers Panoramic Stereo is otherworldly. That Magnatone vibrato bends and swirls everything in the best possible way. Add the Death By Audio Rooms pedal and suddenly you’re floating somewhere between 1967 and outer space. 🛸

Turn it up. Let it wobble. Get lost for a while.

Recorded with an Audigo Labs mic.

Had a great crowd at Stone Ledge Distillery a couple weeks back, but the best part for me was getting to share the stage with my wife and daughter. I’m incredibly grateful that music is something we get to do together. Those are the moments I know I’ll look back on someday.

What I do live is probably a little unconventional. I use a loop pedal to essentially build and control my own backing band. Every drum and bass part you hear was actually played and recorded by me—no downloaded tracks, no outside samples.

And it’s not just hitting play and singing over a backing track. I control the arrangement live with my feet while I’m performing. If I want to extend a section, shorten something, or let a groove ride a little longer because the moment feels right, I can.

It keeps every performance a little different and still leaves room for the spontaneity of playing live.

Technology gets a bad rap sometimes, but I love using it in a way that lets me make more music—not less.

And getting to make that music with my wife and daughter makes it even better.

Short version!

Mark Lanegan is likely familiar to some. He was the front man to Screaming Trees and can also be heard on several Queens of the Stone Age track. He toured with regularly as well. One of a kind voice. Very deep, gravelly, soulful sound. He passed in 2022for reasons unknown. He did suffer from a near fatal bout of Covid in 2021. Quite a loss. Such a unique talent.

this song is haunting. Love to play it. Come out Aug. 22 too stone ledge distillery. Gonna be playing some tunes from 4-8.

Building some backtracks to perform this song with my Daughter.

I can’t thank enough for giving me the opportunity to play on their patio last year. It was such a great experience, and I’m honored to be coming back again!

If you’re free, come out and spend the evening with us. Riviera Too has an awesome patio, fantastic food, and a great selection of drinks. It’s a family-friendly atmosphere, so bring the whole crew—everyone is welcome. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and making some new friends. Come hang out, enjoy the music, and make a night of it!
