Almost Better Than Free (First Offical Release)

 Yo! I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but I've finally released my first "official" album, "Almost Better Than Free". Most of the songs were written and recorded within the last 3 years, but some have been around even longer. Please, check it out over at CDBaby.com, and thanks for listening!

Hey! Just wanted to share a new video I edited together for my LinkedIn Profile.

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat! Here's a song I just completed for Halloween 2013! Hope everyone had a beautiful nightmare today!

A Beautiful Day (For A Nightmare)

Superman

Hope everyone's been having a good year so far. The video above is for a re-recording of one of my older songs, "Superman". I'm pretty psyched about "Man Of Steel", and put together this video to hold me over until the movie comes out. The video features animation from the old Max Fleischer Superman cartoons. The song was originally recorded shortly after Christopher Reeve passed away, and it's dedicated to him. Hope you enjoy the video, and "Man Of Steel" when it hits theaters June 14th, 2013.

(PS: As a bonus, here's another new video for my song, "Resurrection, Baby")

Almost Better Than Free

To ring in the new year, I've uploaded a pair of free tracks from my new album, "Almost Better Than Free". I recorded these songs in the 2 weeks before Christmas 2012 as a gift to my dad. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!
