Happy Valentine's Day, lovers and loners!
It's been a great weekend for me so far. Last night, I played with The Big Payback at the Hard Rock Café in Chicago. It was overall a really fun experience, although our set got cut a little short. Ah well, what can you do? The stage was nice, the staff friendly, and the crowd was dancing. I can't ask for much more.
My girlfriend and I spent the night in Chicago, and so far today has been a laid back mix of eating, driving, reading, and researching posolé recipes. Tomorrow is my turn to cook.
Musically, 2015 is shaping up to be pretty full-on. This is what is tentatively on my plate for this year:
In the meantime, I'm happy to announce that I'm up for several Madison Area Music Awards (MAMAs) this year!

Musically, 2015 is shaping up to be pretty full-on. This is what is tentatively on my plate for this year:
- Recording a new album with The Big Payback, hopefully to be released this year
- Organizing an acoustic solo mini-tour back home to Colorado in May
- Writing and recording a few more acoustic songs, probably to be bundled with material from my EPs and released as a full-length CD
- Writing material for a totally new solo album, to be recorded professionally later
- Hopefully putting together some sort of small 3 or 4-piece band to give my solo music a wider range of venues
