Car Crash is the single of the week on iTunes and it’s free. I’m pretty happy with my bass playing on it so go download it. (Opens iTunes)

I am really proud of this record, so I want to share it with you. I hope you all go buy it, but I put together a flash jukebox of the record so you can check it out. Continue reading to see it.

January 12th through the 23rd I’ll be playing [...]

I hit the ground running once when I finished the tour with Matt Nathanson. (Obviously not updating my website.) I played on KUT with Brett Dennen my first day home. He opened up for us the last week of the tour. I am crazy about his music and he was touring without a bass player. [...]

Things are gearing back up with Matt Nathanson. There have only been a few fly out shows this year with some recording in the spring. We have a gig opening for Train at The Greek Theater in Berkeley next week and then the tour starts up on September 15th with our show at the Austin [...]

Tenlons Fort:: the Golden Handshake is now on iTunes. It’s my first crack at engineering and I’m pretty happy with it even though I had no idea what I was doing and my means were so low tech. I also played all the bass and the “string bass trio.” Buy it, rate it and review [...]
