Hey all! Once again I've let my blog schedule slide, but I've been scheming a lot...

I've still been slaving away trying to get a good mix of "Dear Reason." At this point, I'm more likely to upload the track to my site for you guys to listen to and bypass iTunes until I can afford  to get into a better studio to record with my signature Rhodes amp & have someone mix my songs for me. I think the treatment idea for the "Dear Reason" video is going to turn out really well.

I had a blast playing at Rancho Real's Cinco de Mayo show last weekend. Several of my guitar students made it out. From what I hear, the show has really motivated them to practice harder. I'm super proud of my munchkin guitar army! If you haven't made it out to a show recently, I'm playing in Logansport at the Corner Pub on the 5/14 and in Lafayette at Aces Pub on the 21st.

The Taste of Tippecanoe is just around the corner and all us 'behind-the-scenes' guys are working hard to ensure that it's even more awesome than it usually is. I'm not playing this year, but I'm psyched to be able to chill out & hang with all of my buddies' awesome bands that will be throwing it down. Don't forget: June 18th, downtown Lafayette, awesome music, great food, great cause! More info is available at www.tasteoftippecanoe.org

This is a bit uncharacteristic of my blog, but I'd really like to give a thumbs up to Clint Lowery and Sevendust. I have admired Clint's playing, singing, and writing for a long time and his band, Sevendust, is one of my favorites. Clint has been releasing some really cool music under the moniker 'Hello Demons Meet Skeletons' and I really admire how Sevendust has been helping promote it. That's family.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to studio...

Over and out.
