Over the last couple of days I realized that I’ve been feeling a sense of fear and anxiety about my Nick Drake Project. Not about the outcome – I know that the music we make will be incredible. Not about the process of making the music – the musicians involved are all dear friends who […]
Getting Started
One year ago today I started this blog. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I thought it would be helpful both for me and for others if I chronicled my life as a working musician. My hope was that I might inspire others to take the journey which has […]
Yesterday I reached a big milestone in the evolution of this blog: 100 subscribers! When I started this blog back in May it was my hope that it would be more than just me blathering on about me. I hoped to create a place where I could share what has worked for me, but also […]

One of the most common questions I get asked, by friends and strangers alike, is what does a “normal day” look like for me. I put that phrase in quotes because, simply put, there are no normal days for me. That’s one of the things I like the most about my job. I realize that […]
This is the second in a series of posts detailing how I’ve gotten to this point in my life. Click here for the first part of this series. After deciding not to continue as a Music Major, I went down to the campus radio station to see what was up. I had done a little […]
