The creative every day project begins in January with 31 freeform pieces. Each day consisted of an improvisation on one instrument, usually done in one take.
365/2020 PROJECT
I made a choice to publish some kind of creative project every day in 2020. I did this for a few reasons. My entire life has been a steady balance of visual arts and music up until 2010. That year my Daughter was born and my parental instincts told me to focus on commercial art and put the music on hold. This was all fine until around 2018 when I noticed a buildup of stress and general displeasure with life. I kept trying to approach it from a clinical mentality. Get more exercise, eat better, meditate… all beneficial in their own ways, but something was still missing.
THE NICE MACHINE – Science is Real
This 2017 release was my final album with the Nice Machine. In my opinion, we went out on a very high note with this album recorded and produced by Ken Henslee. The recording sessions took place over a year at Ken’s home studio. Ken was an ideal collaborator for the Nice Machine and we enjoyed

COSMIC CHARLIE Live in NC
I was fortunate enough to be the on-call bassist for Cosmic Charlie, an Athens, GA Grateful Dead cover band. Here was an opportunity to do Dead music with not only the proper instrumentation, but players bold enough to tackle this huge catalogue. I always tried to be comfortable with about 50 -60 songs for each

THE NICE MACHINE Jack Cousteau DELUXE EDITION
Athens, GA Surf Punk act The Nice Machine spent close to a year recording Jack Cousteau in guitarist Chris Vanderford’s basement. It was a very old-school scenario going to 8 track tape, and then to digital for mixing. Working with tape meant getting good takes without any punches. This coincided with the band’s residencies at

TONY’S DRUNK
This is a compilation of Thunder Monkey odds and ends made up of leftover Detonated session tracks and 2 live cuts from Millers in Carrollton, GA. These tracks made Detonated seem a little overstuffed, but here they act as a zany coda to the Thunder Monkey saga. These include I love you I live in
Blueground Undergrass Camp Creek 2006
I have been thinking about fiddle master David Blackmon while he recovers from recent surgery. I was fortunate enough to travel with him in 2005/2006 as a member of Blueground Undergrass. I cannot begin to express his level of both relentless humor and masterful musicianship. He was always a guiding light to me on stage
