My friend Patrick Power shot high-quality video of my December 2025 show at the Lost Church in San Francisco. Solo acoustic versions of This Is Wild Land, Bolted Down, and Some of Us Are Free, Some of Us Are Lost are over at his YouTube channel

I'll be playing at the Makeout Room in San Francisco with James Mastro, who has played with all sorts of people in addition to doing his solo thing, on Saturday, April 11th at 7:30. 

The first track from my next project, a rock/power pop EP called King of the Bees, premiered at my favorite music magazine, The Big Takeover. The Invisible World features Nada Surf singer Matthew Caws and all six tracks have Pete Thomas from the Attractions/Imposters on drums, not to mention a bunch of other great musicians.
