It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)

Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

A few of the songs from my band Your Heart‘s new album Autumn have been posted here, but if you haven’t already, check out the whole album at our nice new website here!

Something like love…
Yeah…

Spencer wrote to me and said “why you dont grow a mustache”. And eleanor simply wrote to me, “moustache”. This song is for both of them.

A BEAUTIFUL SONG OF WHAT YOU WOULD DO FOR LOVE

This song is taken from my new Your Heart EP Love Songs.

I am shooting my eighth student film. For the end of the movie during the credits I would like the song Hurdy Gurdy Man to play. Obviously I don’t have the budget to get the rights to this song so I want something with a similar feel that can be played. Kind of mysterious unsure if its a happy or sad song.

I need it to start out slow and quieter so I can start in playing just at the end of the final scene in the movie while they are still talking. I would like a short solo in the middle of the song.

The Storm-Runner is a sestina (poetry form involving the use of the same six end words in a defined pattern) I wrote a while ago. I think this would work well with a quiet, intense rock background or with just a guitar in the background.

If you’ve ever heard of Great Big Sea, I think that might be a good place to start…somewhere between them and Flogging Molly, maybe… I don’t think any instrumental breaks would be involved; the poetry form is pretty unified and I don’t want to ruin that.

When the air is still over the plains,
And the clouds on the horizon are black,
Advancing on the sudden, chill-blast wind,
In the calm before the first crack of thunder,
A lone man looks up, smiling, to the sky,
The Storm-Runner, they call him; a man immortal,

The Storm-Runner laughs at the pursuing blackness,
Roaring down at him with ever-more furious peals of thunder,
The storm cannot kill its constant enemy, the immortal,
Though it hurls hailstones in rage from the skies,
Sending a tornado, a whirling tower of wind,
Tearing at the fertile soil of the plains,
And the Storm-Runner, immortal, champion of the plains,
Laughs at the weakening thunder, in the face of the breaking black
He looks up to the clearing sky, wet hair dancing in the gentle wind.
