John Krane has released a new single, “14 Days,” which features St. Louis musicians from their own homes. I performed bass, as well as mixed and mastered the song from my house. It’s a tune that’ll have you singing about quarantine in no time, so check out the post.

Haley came to me with 12 songs she had been performing as a solo artist. She wanted to flesh out the songs with more instruments and was looking for input. In the end, I think we did right by the music, bringing each song to a new place that was still true to the intent of the original composition.

Don’t burn bridges. You never know who may be able to help you in the future, and this goes for our careers and also our personal lives.

My birthday was this past weekend, but I didn’t take any time off. Why take time off when you do what you love? I’m always thankful to be able to perform, but this weekend was special.

I learn a lot about myself through teaching, and I’m especially inspired when I get a new student. I enjoy the challenge of discovering their strengths and weaknesses and piecing together how I can help the most.

I'm in my happy place: out on the road with the The Gorge [progressive metal]. We are playing at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines tonight. Tomorrow, we'll be in Minneapolis at Modist Brew.
