Some bands give away 1-3 MP3s to promote their music. I’ve been doing this long enough to realize that just isn’t enough. If you really want to get to know someone’s music, you need a good album to listen to, freely, and on repeat. Then, you’ll fall in love with it. That’s my philosophy anyway. […]
I finally made some decisions about upcoming albums for the year and what’s next as you’ll see in my latest Kickstarter–Dragons vs. Pirates. This album is a bit of vanity project. It started years ago with an album I recorded with Captain Black Jack Murphy called Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse. It was a fun […]
I am happy to announce that Sci Fi Drinking Songs is done. I sent it off to the printers this morning. Right now, it is scheduled to arrive by about July 10th. Then I will start mailing CDs to everyone who pre-ordered them starting with those who did so for Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. […]

Nathan Deese of the band Barrowburn is adding additional instrumentation to those two songs. “Cat and Rat” was written like it was […]
This song was based on a true story. I think it was 2004 when I was invited to go drink with a bunch of people dressed as hobbits from West of the Moon, a fan fiction website about hobbits. It was Thursday night of DragonCon weekend when I met up with them. We drank till […]
I hadn’t even officially released A Tribute to Love when I started working on my next solo album–What Color Is Your Dragon? Folk Music with Delusions of Grandeur. The album started when I realized I have a LOT of songs recorded that are not yet available on full-length albums. I listened to many of them […]
