new album 'already gone' out now!

About Me


About the album: Already Gone was produced by my longtime partner/bassist Mike Chiaburu and I. The bulk of the album was recorded at Stampede Origin Studios in Los Angeles by engineer Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Joe Henry), August 21-25, 2006. During the sessions, Mike and I were joined by the incomparable Jay Bellerose on drums. All of the tracks were recorded live over those few days, giving the album the organic feel of a live performance. Keyboardist Patrick Warren added some of his own special magic from his home studio a few months later. Both Jay and Patrick have recorded with the likes of Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, and Ani DiFranco, among many others, so we're in very good company!

Ryan Freeland also mixed the album, then turned it over to Grammy-winning mastering engineer Gavin Lurssen (O Brother Where Art Thou?, Brandi Carlile's The Story) who truly optimized its sound. I feel that Mike and I really put together a “dream team” for this album, and hope that you'll agree when you hear it!

I used to blog about my LA experiences a lot, which people seemed to find fairly entertaining. I suppose when I was an idiot getting off the bus at the wrong place and getting into altercations with p...

this is how it goes...

I'm actually kind of quoting Aimee Mann in that title...which will make sense in a second. So, this is how a day in my life (right now, anyway) goes. I'm working part-time for a few weeks, so I vowed ...

Sunday night we played in DC at The Red and The Black, a very hip little place. The decor is funky and it was one of those clubs that seems all the cooler because it's small, and the place filled up ...
