Heaven: Nothing but three chords and the truth.

Since I moved back, I've been trying to become a bit more immersed in the music scene in Modesto and Oakdale, and I'd like to say, it's going great!

I played open mic night, and then my buddy Roy Dean asked me to play a couple songs are his shop as the open for Soda, Roy, Tom V, Jeremy somethingorotherawesomemusician and Willy Tea-- and I did it and they loved it. Opening up for my songwriting heroes was AMAZING. Such an honor.

Now I'm doing it again. March 10th, I'm opening for Willy Tea and this fella McDougall at The Serrano Social Club, this coffee shop in Modesto. It's gonna be awesome.

AND NOW, just now, I got this email from this guy, who last week turned me down because he hadn't heard my music, a friend of mine directed him to the recording of open mic and he wants me to open up for an acoustic set his band is doing at Roy Dean's shop. I didn't even think of saying no.

So now I just gotta start writing a bunch more songs. I made a list and I have about 12 or so that are playable. I gotta get to work on some new ones.

To the rest of you comrades-- keep tough. It's not easy, it's not hard, life is life and it's gonna bang you around as much as it sees fit. You just gotta grab it by the horns and make it your own. I can't wait to see you guys. And I can't wait for our giant girl-skype with Zachery. <3

  1. THAT is EXCITING!
    I wish I could come back to watch you perform. But knowing that I come back on the 19th, that means I've missed two consecutive shows ->
    Hey, private special performance for Anna and I at sleepover, aye?
