EXPECTED OUT SUMMER '09
Our first tracking sessions went really well with Zachary Ross (www.zacharyross.com) on guitar,
Jon Evans on bass/slide guitar, Julie Wolf on piano/rhodes, and Dan Foltz on drums/percussion.
Expect a beautiful album with a handful of special guests playing hammond, cello and violin.

'Miles Away From Yesterday' - My first album (Copyright 2007)
Photobucket
Artwork and design by: Wes Womack - www.limeseeddesign.com

'Miles Away From Yesterday' is a collection of songs I've carried with me for the last few years that I thought were too beautiful to let disappear. I've always loved the themes behind each of these song and wanted to present them in a way that would hold the attention of listeners from many different genres. This album began as a home recording project that has taken me from the basement of a friends house in the Berkeley hills, where the initial drum tracks were recorded, to it's completion at FM Recorders, a world class studio designed by Chip Davis. I've been fortunate to have worked with a very talented group of musicians and engineers over the past few years. Each of whom have been more than generous with their time and talents in making my debut album a reality. It has been an amazingly wonderful and sobering experience that has taught me about the technicalities of the recording process and the determination it takes to reach a finished product.

My other interests include open water swimming and surfing
(Here are a few highlights from the '08 Season)

4th Annual Treasure Island to YMCA Bay Bridge Swim - October 19th, 2008
Photobucket
14th Place finish in the 'Wet Suit Division' - 28th of 285 overall (Approximately 1.5 Miles - Time: 47:02:50)
This was indeed a more difficult race due to heavy currents and many more fast swimmers
(especially with very little sleep after a late night Skippin' Town gig)
