New Song by The Carolina Stomp!

Hey fam!

It’s so great to be back together, am I right?! If you recall, back in August, I let you guys know about a single called These Hills from my group, The Carolina Stomp. If you don’t, the group is an Americana/alt country/roots rock band lead by my man, Clint Singleton and myself.

Back in February, we went up to North Carolina for a weekend and turned a rented house into a studio. We had a blasty-blast and made it out with a lot of new music. The first of those songs has just been released and we are so excited about it. Check it out below and, if you like what you hear, look us up/follow us on your favorite listening platform (like Apple Music or Spotify). Also, check us out on Instagram and Facebook.

Remote Services Like Never Before!

Hey fam!!

I hope this post finds you well, rested, and prosperous.

Over the last year or so, I, like many in my field, have been doing more and more remote session work. And, I have been really blown away by the fact that the demand for such as maintained even as the world opened back up. Honestly, it’s allowed me to make ends meet without taking so many out-of-the-house gigs. I’m still out of the house a couple times a week for work (live sound, performance, etc) but any day I don’t have to waste “work” time in Atlanta traffic is a good day.

So, I’ve decided to expand a little bit and am happy to announce that you can now find my services on a few really great platforms. There are so many sites that let people connect to freelancers like myself so it took me some time to narrow it down to the ones I trusted and wanted to work with. After research and fiddling around on their platforms, I’ve grown to trust Upwork, SoundBetter, and Fiverr. Not only for a connection point but for payment processing and overall business approach.

So if you need electric or upright bass, mixing, editing, or even composing, you can contact me directly or through any of these platfoms.

Thanks so much!

The Carolina Stomp (and Our New Single!)

You know, sometimes you are lucky enough to find a friend who you just click with on a special level. Someone who pushes you in ways no one else does. Sometimes you get even luckier and get to make music with that person. For several years now, such has been the case with me. The result is a group called The Carolina Stomp (Facebook, Instagram).

Back in 2015, we released an EP (Apple Music, Spotify) and, over the last year or so, we’ve been back in the shed. Writing new songs, releasing one (These Hills), and working on a whole batch of others to release in the near future. We work together a lot but it’s kind of rare we get to sit in the same recording space together. After writing and recording These Hills remotely, We decided we needed to basically use that as a demo and take some time to both be in the same room at the same time working on the same song. So that’s what we did. The results, at least as I see it, were pretty great.

So here it is! Check out this lyric video and then swing over to any of these platforms and follow, add, buy, whatever you prefer. You can also help make creating more music a little easier with a small tip!

New Album!!

Fam, fam, fam!

It is so good to finally be writing this post announcing the March 2, 2021 release of my new album, Music for Study and Meditation. I’ll have more info for you in the coming weeks but check out this teaser and be sure follow me on social media. I’ll be posting preorder/add info there.

Two New Playlists on YouTube!

Peeps!

As I mentioned in the last post, I’ve been working on a lot of things over the last few months and I am super pumped to have some of that work hitting the world via YouTube.

There are TWO new playlists on my channel – one is for the Music for Study and Meditation project I started a few months back and the other is Ableton Live Tips that has some quick tips for speeding up workflow.

New content (music as well as behind the scenes and tutorials) hits the channel every Monday so hop over and subscribe. And, be sure to tell anyone you think would enjoy it.

The Music for Study and Meditation will be available on streaming platforms in the near future.

Thanks for reading this! I hope you enjoy the music below and have a fantastic holiday season!

In The WERKS

Fam!

I hope you are all having a fantastic start to your fall! I know it’s hard to keep things positive right now, but you got this! You’re freaking awesome.

As for me, I’m happier than a puppy with…never mind. The pandemic has been crazy for everyone. And, almost all of my live event work – as you can imagine – has turned into studio, video, and podcast work. I’ve been on both sides of the camera (hint hint at an upcoming YouTube series) and both sides of the mic and I gotta say, I have really enjoyed it.

I’ve also been playing and writing a lot. I’m about two-thirds of the way through the writing process for an album of meditation/study music and have been writing and recording with an old friend for a project we hope to release soon.

Short of the long, I’ve packed in a lot of music over the last couple months. Like aging wine, soon enough these projects will be ready to jump off their respective shelves and slap you in the face with awesome.

If you haven’t already, head on over to Insta and Twitter and hit those follow buttons! See you there!

I Believe In A Thing Called Love

Guys!

I got to (virtually) hang out with some of my favorite musicians and throw down on the low notes for a cover of The Darkness’ I Believe In A Think Called Love. It was a freakin’ blasty blast and I hope you dig it!

These guys are (for real) some of my favorite peeps on the planet. After you watch the vid , go check them all out…

Switching Genres (Westworld Cue)

Hey fam!

I’m so pumped to tell you about the latest track I finished and posted. It was written for a competition held by Spitfire Audio and HBO. The challenge was to write a cue for a chase scene from a season 3 episode of Westworld. I love the show and I love writing music to picture so I had to do it. Check it out below and let me know what you think! Also, take a sec and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
