I’m planning to document these mini-sets here and there, when time allows. Small batches to be watched on folks’ own time. For the time being I’ll try to keep to a format of four previously released songs, and one unreleased song, perhaps from the next solo LP that will be tracked in June.

Virtual tip jar is here.

SXSW 2019.
This thrum and curl of February allergies (again) reigns with the force of a month-long Golden Corral surf/turf festival, and it can still hear me saying I will never break the chain. Playing a show at South By Southwest for the first time in about 71 years; the Keeled Scales showcase on Friday March 15th at The Townsend. Little Mazarn will join me for some songs that night, and I look forward to the noise we’ll make together.

My friends Britton Beisenherz, Lindsey Verrill, Thor Harris and Jon Dee Graham played on it, and Matthew Genitempo’s great photography will again be a crucial component. Meantime.. working toward some art shows, changing diapers, reading with my kids, and I’ll have new large scale Houston Astros (stars of 2017) prints on the upcoming tours and avail. online soon. To the spring winds, onward, and maybe see you down the road.
