My New Album "Temperance" is available for Pre-Order!  

I'm really excited to announce the release of my new album called "Temperance." Roger Sadowsky put his Jim Hall Guitar Model in my hands 2 years ago at the Rocky Mountain Archtop Guitar Festival in Colorado, and the Sadowsky guitar subsequently inspired 9 new original compositions. I'm joined by an excellent band on the recording with Evan Hamaguchi on tenor sax, Trevor Robertson on bass, and Ben Freidkin on drums.
I'm releasing the album on October 18th, but it is available for pre-order now and all your support counts. I'll also be sharing some CA tour dates soon to celebrate the album release.
Thank you all for your continued support. Can't wait to share this new album with you❤️
You can pre-order the album here:

Here's a song I composed called “The Vortex" on my Sadowsky Guitar. 

I wrote the background music For Christine Toy Johnson's play "A Little More Blue" 

What a great collaboration to work and perform with Christine Toy Johnson! We had a very successful workshop performance of her play “A Little More Blue.” Keep an eye out for future staging performances of her play! We'll be performing it again later this year.
