Another New Winter Show Added
After my debut at the Impact Fuel Room opening for Lateralus, I will be playing a few weeks later down the street at Tighthead Brewing Company. This will be a great opportunity for anyone interested in my opening set to hear much more music in an intimate setting. I hope to see you there! Details may be found in the events section.

Seven Songs in the Forest
As a thank you to everyone that came out and watched my solo acoustic shows, I created this short “concert” in the forest. I played seven songs live with the birds chirping and the mosquitoes bitting in the woods of northern Michigan. Thank you to Awrey Films for recording and putting the video together. Watch it now on my YouTube page: https://youtu.be/0pwGKZ0-9aU
Next Show
I will be warming up for Lateralus (A Live Tool Experience) in Hobart, IN. Visit my events page for more details or visit https://brickartlive.com/event/lateralus-a-live-tool-experience/
Final Acoustic Show of 2024
Join me for my final acoustic show of 2024. It has been a lot of fun playing these shows and getting a chance to speak with so many wonderful people. I plan to take a short break and come back in 2025 with even more live dates. See you this Thursday or next year!

Seemingly Quixotic Live
I have uploaded a live video exclusive to my website. It comes from my recent show at Heights Brewing in Farmington, MI.
