Back in the trenches

I had a string of shows in late July/early August. It was so great to play a week of shows like that, and also great to return home, unpack my gear, and just play guitar on my porch like old times.

I've been spending a lot of time recording (well, more learning how to record than actual recording, turns out) and it's been a frustrating but exciting ride. Last night I listened to the song I've been banging my head against the wall trying to finish and I was actually so pleased with how it sounded. I couldn't stop smiling. It isn't finished yet but I can see where it's headed, and I feel proud.

I'm hoping to have this E.P. finished in the next couple of weeks, and release it toward the end of September. From there the focus will be shows, shows, shows again.

In the meantime, September 16th I'll be playing at the much-loved Porchfest. I'll be on Willow Ave, specific address to be released closer to the event. Porchfest is one of the most unique and wonderful things about the Ithaca music scene, and I feel honored to get a chance to play. Tell your friends!
