After almost three years of being out of music, I've decided to finally make the solo record I've wanted to do for years.
It's been over three years since I've released anything musically of my own. After Shindig stopped, I kind of just fell of the face of the earth. The initial plan was to tone down on touring to watch my son grow up, but somehow turned into me becoming a musical hermit of sorts. I've finally pulled my head from ass and am ready to hit the ground running.
I've begun work on my first full length release in almost 8 years. The last one being This Beginning Is Your End, released as Shindig. This time there will be no compromising, no changing anything to please a label or producer, no outside input. This will be the record I've always wanted to make. If you've heard any of my previous work, it won't stray incredibly far, but I feel that I've matured musically in my time away.
I will also be a launching a site with updates from the studio, so anyone interested can get insight on the recording process and how I operate. I'm very excited to get back to writing and recording. Hopefully you will join me.
The funds raised will go towards pressing, marketing, shipping costs and various other things that come with putting out a record. The more I raise the more I'm able to accomplish.

This one includes everything but the guitar, but it may be the best one of all. I will literally come to your house (anywhere in the continental US) and play a show for you and your friends in your living room. I will also eat some of your food and make wildly inappropriate comments.
