Hi all, a quick note to mention that a band I’ve been doing with good friends finally has shared our first release right before Christmas. These are good pals I first played with over twenty years ago in a band called Parlour. In 2007 (I think? Maybe 08?) we played briefly as a trio we jokingly called Partybox. Fifteen years later, in 2022, we revived it. It’s a slow process writing with talented friends, but though occasionally frustrating, it’s also incredibly rewarding. We decided to call ourselves Working Models. Check our Bandcamp page if you’re curious to hear. Thanks.

mike shiflet – tetracosa ensemble
Super pleased that my pal of twenty years, Mike Shiflet, invited me to be a part of his ambitious follow-up to his Tetracosa release from 2018. He assembled a lot of friends for a Tetracosa Ensemble 24 hour release and then on the same day released a solo version of it. Talk about work!
I’ll just direct you to Mike’s Bandcamp page where you can explore all of his releases including Tetracosa from some years back, the new Ensemble release, and then the new Tetracosa solo release. Enjoy! Here’s the cover of the first volume.
“aesthetic complexity” blog post
My friend Guy Birkin, who did the art for “This Is My Horn, Vol. 1” and will continue hopefully with the future volumes wrote up a post explaining his process for the art. I’ve long admired his visual art, music, and writing, so I’m grateful for his contribution all around. Read his post here:
all ‘press’ here
hi, i guess at some point i made pages for the press on a couple releases, but that seems sort of tedious. so i’m just sharing a google drive folder with any and all press that i’ve managed to accumulate – that i know of – from the last 20 odd years. view the drive folder here.
more news soon on hopefully a new release and a few shows in the midwest this fall.
