Happy New Year! For my final Cover of the Week, I chose a song from the classic Zombies record Odessey and Oracle (buy this right now if you don’t have it, you will not regret it!) This will be my last cover for a while, since I’ll be focusing on finishing the next SCS record! [...]

Here’s a cover from my favorite Christmas record of all time. Merry Christmas everybody!
COTW #11: The Christmas Song
December 14th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’m still getting over my horrible cold from last week, but nothing can stop Cover of the Week! Here’s a Christmas tune by Weezer, which first appeared on KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Christmas Compilation CD The Real Slim Santa back in 2000. I always loved getting these Christmas CDs growing up, and they were usually available [...]

The first holiday Cover of the Week is up. I’m not sure why it took me so long to finally get around to doing one on piano, but here is my piano version of this classic hymn. Rejoice!
COTW #9: Ue o Muite Arukou (Sukiyaki)

November 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
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

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 [...]
