This week, we step into the wide world of television theme songs with my cover of Jesse Frederick’s “Everywhere You Look.” If you don’t know who Jesse Frederick is, he is the man responsible for several of the Miller-Boyett theme songs of the late 80s/early 90s. He pretty much wrote them all. Four little letters [...]

Takin’ it back to 1995… on ukelele!
COTW #6: Half A Woman
November 9th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I saw Fountains Of Wayne a couple of weeks ago and I was quickly reminded why they are some of my favorite living songwriters. I had their new record in my player for several weeks and didn’t even realize that I had let it spin so many times over, absorbing each bit of pop goodness [...]
The One Man Band Process
November 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Here’s something I thought about sharing while I’m working on the record. Since I record and produce my own music, I have to do things a little differently than a regular band might, and I thought some of you may find it interesting to see how I do it. This will also hopefully keep me [...]

COTW #4: Talkin’ Softball
October 26th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Since we’re smack dab in the middle of a World Series, I thought a baseball song would be most appropriate for this week’s “Cover of the Week.” I chose to go with the best baseball song ever written, “Talkin’ Softball,” which is a song from the classic Simpsons episode Homer At The Bat. This song is actually [...]
COTW #3: Don’t Let Go (R.I.P. Mikey)
October 19th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
A few weeks ago, I was shocked to hear that Mikey Welsh had passed away. It was very unexpected, I was blown away. He and I had just become friends online, interacting through Facebook and Twitter. Seriously, just a few weeks ago I was talking to this man and then all of a sudden… he was gone. [...]

COTW #2: Stain
October 12th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Nirvana was my first favorite band. This may seem strange because nothing I do really sounds like them at all, but believe you me: I loved the crap out of Nirvana. The 20th anniversary edition of Nevermind came out this year, and some friends of mine held a Nirvana-themed open mic night a few weeks [...]
Cover Of The Week #1
October 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Announcing a new feature here on sofacitysweetheart.com: Cover Of The Week! It’s pretty self explanatory, but I’ll still explain it. Since I’ll be taking a break from live shows for a while to work on the album, I’ll be releasing a new cover song on YouTube every Wednesday from now until the end of the [...]
The Super Summer Tour Is Finished!
August 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
3,000 miles and 12 states later, I still can’t believe it’s over. Thanks to everyone who fed us, housed us, booked us, bought a cd/shirt, talked to us, listened to us, or otherwise helped make this tour a success (success = making it home alive.) Also special thanks to Joe Younglove for being drummer extraordinaire [...]
