NEW MUSIC!  “Guitar Hymns Volume 1”  is the first of a new series that I am starting.  There is a lot of great melodies and theology to be found in those old hymns and I wanted to revisit that in a way.  I grew up these old hymns and have been enjoying their goodness again.

These are some new arrangements on acoustic steel-string and classical nylon string guitar.   Join me on the back porch, around the fireplace, or in your favorite chair, for some relaxing guitar hymns from the old hymnals.  Available now on all streaming platforms.  A limited run of physical CDs is now available from my Bandcamp store.

Song-by-Song #2 “Rest in You” – I can be pretty headstrong and plow straight ahead with my decision-making, often to my own detriment!   So many Bible verses talk about resting in the Lord all to often I found myself doing the opposite and then regretting it later..   “… for my yoke is easy and my burden is light”.

Many thanks to Wayne Stewart for the excellent organ riffage (Cheesemaster 3000!).

***SAFETY WARNING***: there’s a face-melter in this one!

Also available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and most digital music retailers.

Song-by-Song #1 “What the birds tell us”. Dan Fogelberg often would start his albums with a short instrumental piece; almost like a musical palette-cleanser . I liked that idea. This is based around the poem “What the birds teach us” by JR Eastwood (referenced by permission from Discover Poetry).

Also available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and most digital music retailers.

NEW MUSIC!  My new EP “Paper Rain” is now available on streaming platforms everywhere.  Five new tracks that I am very proud of.   I wanted to get this out by the end of 2024 but didn’t quite make it!   2025 has been a difficult and challenging year for me; and many of my friends and family have gone through similar tough times.  It has been a difficult year on many fronts.   These new songs contain some stories about life and its struggles -- but also finding some hope at the end.

I’m very glad and blessed to call on some of my very talented friends for this project – Wayne Stewart and Chris Akers provided some special sounds and moments.   And honored to make a new friend Kathryn Severing Fox played some wonderful viola on the title track.

“Paper Rain” is available now on all the major streaming platforms.  Lyrics and song notes are available on my Bandcamp page (the “Buy from Artist” link at the page below).  Physical CDs coming soon!

 "The Road Home" - available now! My new album "The Road Home" is now available on all of the major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. Check it out!

NEW MUSIC!! I’m very excited to share my new album The Road Home with you all. It is a brand-new instrumental album of new music for relaxing, reflection, and prayer. My plan is for it to be part of a new series of recordings over the coming years. There are some nice musical textures with a few twists that you will enjoy. My hope is that it will bless you in your quiet times and help you slow down and reconnect with God. 

Many thanks to Wayne Stewart for some additional keyboard work. 

The Road Home is now available through Bandcamp, and will soon be available through Amazon, ITunes, and all the major platforms. It is a digital-only release; physical CDs will be available at a later date.
