Banding Together 2013 features 30 minutes of original music recorded absolutely live. No auto-tune. No overdubs. No editing. Just my voice, acoustic guitar, and whatever other sounds occured during the performance. The album features eight original songs in their simplist form.

HarvestFest Recap
Well, actually I have a pretty nice little Saturday planned…
Saturday was a beautiful day to play an outdoor show. Hey Tiger performed at Bloomfield’s HarvestFest. It was great to play with them again after not having played since June. The sound system was really great, the crowd was attentive, and we learned what a tornado potato is.
Here is our setlist.
Then Christina and I discovered the awesome power of a tornado potato + fresh lemonade.
Good times.

My Twitter Is Blushing
I recently finished pre-recording a live acoustic set for BlowUpRadio’s Spondylitis Benefit Webathon, which will air in October. I sent it over to Lazlo at BlowUpRadio… Not only did he listen to it right away, but he was kind enough to enthusiastically tweet on my behalf! It’s so refreshing to work with someone who is truly vested in spreading the word about independent, original music. Thank you, Lazlo!
Here are the tweets:
listening to @joshbicknell and trying to figure out why his music isn’t everywhere. So damn good!
