>>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE STRUMMER. ⇣⇣ (08/21/26)
Joe Strummer was a huge inspiration to me. I was a massive Clash fan, and Strummer had it all — one of the greatest lyricists and frontmen ever to do it.
From the first time I heard London Calling, I was drawn to the aching minor-on-minor chords of “Spanish Bombs” and its vivid imagery of a long-ago war in a faraway place. It’s one of The Clash’s masterpieces, a song that somehow feels both haunted and alive.
Many years later, I took a stab at covering it for my all-covers record, Cover Charge. Later, I discovered someone put together a tribute video using my version, pairing it with some great Spanish Civil War-era posters. It found a little love out there, which is always a nice surprise.
A big thank you to Elijah Von June for discovering my cover and giving it a new life with such a cool video.
Happy birthday, Joe. Still missed. Still inspiring.

>>FIRST TUESDAYS RESIDENCY AT DUSK BAR, SANTA BARBARA CONTINUES ⇣⇣ (01/06/26)
Last year I spent a lot of Tuesday nights at Dusk Bar. Low lights. Long songs. Good people. An oasis from the bustle of State Street. The kind of quiet that stays with you. Pleased that it’s continuing into the new year. 🌙🎶🍻 ✌️
>>AULD LANG SYNE (DON'T WASTE MY TIME) - XMAS/NYE BREAKUP SONG⇣⇣ (12/27/25)
It's that time of year again for this little ode I wrote for when it's heartbreak for Christmas and breakup for New Years! It swings. It sways. It rhymes. But it's not your parents' Auld Lang Syne. I recorded this with Rose Shawhan for our duets side-project, Wood Hitch. Please enjoy wherever you listen to your music. Crank it for the New Year! 🎶💔🍻
