If you haven't been to a show in a while, this is gonna be a good one!

My last few years of shows have been as a solo acoustic looping artist, building live loops with guitars, ukuleles, bass, a wah-wah pedal, harmonicas, and whatever else is rattling around in the suitcase.

Grateful to see this story land in @newmusicweekly

This work has been a long and crooked road.

I'm feeling lucky to still be out here making music and helping other songwriters tell their stories in songs. ☘️🎵🤘

Ever try write a bad song?

When you take the pressure off and stop trying, you can make room for some fun things to emerge.

Here's what I wrote...

It's called "Stupid Song"

@NZyzzyx Hold on to all your rights and ownership. 🤘

Quick repost as I look for a few songwriters who are ready to fall back in love with writing songs again.

Send me a message if this sounds like something for you.

Thanks to everyone who has been sharing this around with fellow music-makers in your lives❣️
