The Project Backstory
Growing up, I found that playing and creating music for fun was like having a good friend over to hang out and play.
I had taught myself how to sing and play every instrument that I could find around my house.
Then, my Dad bought me a Fostex 4-track tape recorder that allowed me to put all of the singing and instruments together as a song. That changed the game.
Ready or Not
I was off and running! No one could stop me. I wrote, recorded, and handed out albums worth of music to friends and family for years.
They thought the songs sounded really good. And that was good enough for me. But nothing was ever formally released.
In my first year of college, I acquired a Sony DAT digital recorder, which gave me a unique ability. For the first time, I was able to capture my early acoustic multi-track music digitally — a method that preserves the recording clarity and integrity forever.
Time Expansion
The years passed and I kept writing, recording, and playing live. I even finished entire original album projects. But I didn't ever have anything published.
Would I ever get a chance to do something more with the stories and songs that a small, beloved circle of fans and I had come to cherish?
Never Too Late
In 2025, I finally picked up some vintage DAT equipment on eBay, and spent several weeks doing a digitally lossless transfer to my modern studio. I have the music back!
And, now I'm in the middle of the fun part: remastering the best of this stuff for distribution on streaming services!
But, that's not all. I am also releasing limited edition CDs for the albums that are ready — and the first album is already out!
Much More to Come!
Most of the original compositions were performed in the studio with other musicians and full bands.
Some the best news about this endeavor is that many of the tracks are already finished with full production. So the releases will be dropping rapidly over the coming months!
All of a sudden this moment becomes your early invitation to tag along for the ride. You ready?
