Once upon a time I made a lot of music and played in a lot of bands. This page will mostly just track what I have been enjoying listening to lately, but will also include some links to music I have made in the past.

Recent Listens

These get updated manually, so may go awhile without an update. Some stuff may come and go and others may hang out here for awhile. I'll provide a link to bandcamp where possible (I like that they have a comment in their code about pirating music and how it helps musicians — which I agree with). If there is not a link it is because there was not a bandcamp one and I will not link to [insert other music service], but I'm sure you can find most things.

My Music

I don't end up playing too much music these days aside from noodling around on my piano. But I used to play a lot of music... did some local/regional touring, ran a record label for a few years, etc. Some of it is available on various streaming services, though I don't have much to do with that at this point. Click on an album cover below for more information about the album, including reminicenses, alternate art (where available), release information, and whatnot.

I'm hoping to get back to music eventually. Life has taken me in other directions for awhile now, which has been great. I feel the itch, from time to time, to play/record again. We'll see. Even the recently released items in the following list were recorded a long time ago (but are only just being released). It would be nice to have something truly new. Fingers crossed.

The albums listed here are albums that I played a significant role in. There are a number of albums that I engineered/recorded, or did a backing vocal on, or the like... I have not included those here for the time being, in favor of focusing on albums that I wrote songs for, bands I gigged with, or albums that featured me playing instruments more prominently.
