As musicians, we inhabit the songs we play. I never get tired of living the feeling of this one, although I wrote it almost a decade ago. It’s called “An End to Wandering.”

Next concert: April 13 at @PorterSqBooks! Join me and guitarist @scottcardmusic for a night of transcendent guitar music. Hosted by @MirandasHearth.

Thanks to those who joined me for a cloudy afternoon of music and contemplation at the @loringgreenough house today! What a great setting for introspective music.

This is definitely me: I pretty much refuse to do work without a playlist running! Some good tips in here for choosing the right music for different types of work. https://t.co/MILbilyvFB

A few harmonics to jolt you back into the present moment on a grey afternoon.

Feeling grateful today for the opportunity to share my music with so many thoughtful listeners. Thank you to every person who has come to a show, watched a video, or downloaded a song over the years. More new sounds on the way!

Relearning a song from my first album ahead of my performance at the @LoringGreenough house in Boston This is “There Are No Young Forests”... I forgot how tough this one was to play. You can find the recording on Spotify, or hear it live on Sunday: https://t.co/7j3pitLmSD

Leo Kottke was one of the first fingerstyle guitarists that inspired me to pick up the guitar, especially this tune, “Mona Ray.” Fifteen years later and I still love the sound and energy of this piece!

Ending the week with a bit of composition time! Came up with this melody a couple months ago, finally developing it. #acoustic #guitar

Never let someone tell you that you can’t play heavy metal on acoustic guitar.

Rainy afternoons are perfect for arranging Beatles songs! This one is originally quite tranquil, but I decided to add a groove to it. #guitar #beatles #thebeatles #cover #coversong #acoustic #acousticmusic

[R.D. King @rdkingmusic]

@headingoutside I love that word, too!

[R.D. King @rdkingmusic]

New theme I’ve been working on... what do you think? Worth turning into a full piece?
