I will be appearing at Black Lung Brewing in Fox Lake, IL on June 14th. This will be my first time at this brewery and in the area. I’m looking forward to a great night of music and good weather.
New Spring Date Added
Just confirmed today is an additional date on my Spring calendar. I will be playing June 13th at Riggs Beer Company in Urbana, IL. This is my first show in the area.
Subsequent Ruins Turns Two
Two years ago today saw the release of Subsequent Ruins featuring Marco Minnemann, my first release for the 7D Media label. It is a musical retelling of the Pied Piper with technology playing the role of the antagonist. The artwork by Hajo Mueller is the perfect accompaniment and one of my favorite collaborations to date.

Tomorrow, I will be releasing a video for ‘Lucent Eyes’ from my album, A CONFUSION SEQUENCE out now on 7d Media. I am especially proud of this song for its use of talk box Warr guitar.
