New for summer ‘08: “Duets”


NOW AVAILABLE ON ITUNES.


New for 2008!  There are 15 duets with different artists from Sacramento and the Bay Area.  The styles vary from mellow and spacious compositions to fuzzed out, sliding noise (ie, Lucio’s track).  My personal favorite is “An Empty Garage,” a guitar and vocal duet w/ Alecia Sanchez. 


Other artists on the recording include: Randy McKean, Scott Amendola, Shawn Hale, Chris Ferreira, Tom Monson, Phillip Greenlief, Byron Blackburn,  Lucio Menegon, Kevin Corcoran, Lisa Mezzacappa, Vincent DiFiore, Alex Jenkins, David Bole and Rick Lotter.


This project seemed like a good idea at first, but it has become quite a chore to try to assemble.  Still, I’m pretty happy with the results.  Hard copy CDs are available here and the album is currently available for download below....

*Played SXSW in Austin, TX this year with the Teakayo Mission.  Lotsa fun, that was.  It was great to represent Sacto along with Two Sheds and Christian Kiefer.  We went kinda electro-blitzkrieg on the crowd at the Elephant Room, so if you were there and are reading this, sorry about that.  We just got a bit excited....
