Weekend Update, 7/4/21

Hey Girls and Guys,

Been out for a hot minute- sorry about that.


(Also, have you noticed when people disappear from the internet, we really don’t miss it usually? And yet somehow I always feel the need to apologize 😆)

Anyway. As you might guess, it’s been busy.

• Played a bunch of shows with a bunch of people, mostly Apollo LTD, Rachael Lampa, and The Downtown Band. All good, minus one hellish show with The Downtown Band in 95 degree heat for 4 hours. Those are the nights that try souls, but it makes it worth it if you’ve got the right people around you.

• Don’t usually talk about upcoming stuff here, but I’ll be playing my first shows with Sidewalk Prophets this week in Michigan. They needed a keyboardist so I hopped in, and I’m kinda digging what they’re all about.

Between that and family in town, haven’t done much else. Here’s a few interesting things:

• This website will tell you exactly what Native American tribes lived in the area you’re living in. Bit disconcerting but fascinating.

• Learning 30-40 songs a week make you have to look for shortcuts, and one of the best I’ve ever found is the software Anytune. It lets you slow down, speed up, bookmark spots, loop areas, and organize your music any way you want, and it’s become one of the most important pieces of software I own. 10/10 recommend.

That’s about it for now. Hope your 4th goes over with a bang.
