The limited edition 1st pressing of Ætherea (courtesy of Ismaily Imprint/SunOdeRecordings) is out!
You can buy it on my Bandcamp.
Every LP comes with a free download card for the digital download of songs.
I will be hitting the road throughout the rest of 2013 to play dates in the States, Europe, and hopefully, Asia!
Wish me luck and send me a note if you’d like me to play in your neck of the woods.

I remember when I used to make skronky punk music. That was the late 90s, and then one day, I came upon The Lioness by Songs: Ohia. Jason Molina’s voice, his poetry, the vulnerability–it struck me like quiet, searing lightning, and it resonated. It awoke that tender place in my heart that didn’t yet have the courage to speak itself the way Jason so bravely and honestly did. He changed my musical path and thus my life, and I will forever be grateful for his courage, honesty and struggle. I may not be singing the songs I do now were it not for Jason’s heartbreakingly beautiful voice and music.
Eternal gratitude and peace to you, Jason.

Ahead in the Year of the Black Snake:
Continued Transformation
Ætherea vinyl LP release anticipated for end of February (finally) after a long and arduous journey that began in August!
Lots of travel ahead: East coast shows in March and sprinkled through spring…Europe in the summer and fall…West coast in there somewhere.
New collaborations.
Writing a second album, quite different from the one just released.
Working on publishing a book of poems & writings.
Ætherea,
I release you!
Into the world,
and from this world.
Be at peace and be well.
The CD release of Ætherea is Nov 20th. It will be available for purchase via my Bandcamp site and also at my album release show at Public Assembly in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Nov 14th. The limited-edition LP of Ætherea unfortunately may be slightly delayed due to the complications from the superstorm that hit us in the northeast. We’re hoping to have it available by end of Nov.
I am glad to begin a new year, a new beginning…
Recently, the live shows have been heavier and more rockin’ thanks to the addition of Benoit Guerroue’s sublime guitar work and vocals, and Brian Girgus’s fine drumming. Am excited to start off the year with a gig this Saturday where we’ll debut new songs.
In the meantime, I am searching for a label to help release my solo album which I spent all of 2011 working on and just recently completed. The album is beautiful and I am so proud of all my incredibly talented friends who contributed their love to it: Ben McConnell (drums), Helena Espvall (cello), Leyna Marika Papach (viola/violin), Fon-Lin Nyeu (bass), and Jeff Cook (engineering/co-producing).
2012 will also be the year I make it over to Europe for a proper tour…hopefully!
Happy 2012.
After nearly a year in the making (we started in January of 2011), the album has been completed! Am now working on getting it released…
