About Me

Full album releasing June 2008 on Tommy Boy/Silver Label

Dan Whitehill shot and directed this exquisite video for Monarch in Los Angeles. (myspace bands- you'll want to hire Dan - [email protected]) Dan actually fractured his wrist on this shoot whilst hurdling a boulder in an attempt to capture the sunset. And what a sunset it was! Hope you likey like me likey.

I sang at the Apple Store in Brea recently and showed how I use Garageband to quickly capture song ideas. Big thanks to Stephen, Jon and Cody for their assistance as roadies and tech crew. I never had a tech crew.
