the last 8 years of song making have provided opportunities that i am speechlessly grateful for. opening shows for songwriters i admire such as patty griffen and dar williams has been amazing and playing with musicians who are brilliantly talented and whom i love dearly, has left me feeling like the luckiest person in the world. the list is long, but i want to especially thank the following for all of the time and talent and unending inspiration they've given me over the years. stuart gunter- myspace.com/stuartgunter, lauren hoffman- laurenhoffman.com, mark- myspace.com/majjee, todd howard- myspace.com/toddhowardmusic and toddhoward.com, dan buttler (dad), AKA (brilliant author of "silver kites"), and bekah barnett- myspace.com/urbanminstrel

after writing music, performing music, and recording music for years way over on the east coast, i am pleased to be sharing tunes now direct from hilly san francisco. the city of staircases is dreamy dreamy dreamy.

Click here to listen to "Guitar Hero"

Spaghetti Cake's latest single "Guitar Hero" is by far the band's most rocking anthem about the fire, the passion, and the power of your first guitar hero, your first real record, and your first real guitar.

Dear friends,

It would mean the world to me and everyone invovled with the creation of this tune is you could spare a minute and .99 to purchase our new single. Click the link and give it a listen, it's not for kids only! If you are inclined, we would also love you forever if you could leave some positive feedback about the song.

We hope that you love our new single!! See you guys at Veteran's Park in Watertown, CT June 24th!!
