Welcome to my new home! Make yourself comfortable, look around... I am so glad you dropped by to check out my new and vastly improved website! I will try to continually provide updates, new photos, videos, news, stories of adventure, friends, music, food and up to the minute information on all of the projects I currently work with. In the past it has been difficult to convey the scope of some of my musical activities. I work in many different worlds and I am excited about all of it. It is this diversity that really moves and inspires me.
I've had a pretty busy year so far and there is a lot of good stuff on the horizon. At the beginning of November I will head West to do some shows with the gents of Pistol fOR Ringo. Looks like mostly California, but CA is a big state! Glad to get to see some parts of it which I haven't seen yet. We'll be playing tracks from our new EP "Better Left Broken" as well as some newer stuff we recorded last year. Come hang with us in some dirty little rock clubs and check out my alter-ego!
In December the plan is to head out to Cali again and get the basics at least done on a new recording project I will hopefully have ready for spring. It will be all sort of psychedelic folk songs written over the last month on my newly rediscovered Gibson 12 string which was all but forgotten until recently. It has now become my songwriting slave. This will be a smaller scale, more personal and direct record which I will record with my old buddy Shane Smith, who also is a founding member of Pistol fOR Ringo.
After the new year, US Rails will be heading over to Europe for our longest tour yet. That will all take place the latter part of January on through the end of February. Gonna go heat up the winter in Germany, France and The Netherlands.
So...looking forward to making some new friends, creations, adventures and destinations. Keep checkin' in for all the particulars.
