About Me

Created with mySpace Profile Editor

..
My new album, Hold On, Let Go is finally available on CdBaby!
When was the last time you cried? I don't mean in a movie theater. When was the last time you danced a little jig? When was the last time you couldn't get to sleep because you were too excited about something? When was the last time you talked all night about nothing and everything? When was the last time you told someone you loved them because you really felt like you just couldn't keep it inside any longer? I'm tired of hiding behind a veil of words, aren't you? I want to get to the creamy center, and stay there. I know I'm an idiot. That's OK. You want to stay after school with me? Listen: I wrote these songs for you.

Yosemite

Is it just me or is there something primally satisfying about stripping down and jumping into mountain streams, then drying off in the sun? It seems like everything just falls into place. Water, sun, ...
