Shambhu Sessions Podcast

 

I recently had the great pleasure of talking with fellow composer & guitarist Shambhu for his podcast “Shambhu Sessions”.
We discuss how I first got into music, music education, discovering Windham Hill, working with Will Ackerman & Tom Eaton, my friendship with David Crosby, my writing process, and my music.
It was a real pleasure to finally meet Shambhu and spend time talking with him. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time now. Please give Shambhu Sessions a follow and check out all of the fantastic episodes

New Music Coming Soon…

I have three days booked with Tom Eaton at his Sounds & Substance studio in East Kingston, New Hampshire coming up in August. I am looking to try some new things and explore some new sounds. Improvisation, composing in the moment, and multi tracking are all things I would like to incorporate into these sessions.

I will include an update and a peek behind the scenes in my next newsletter. Look for that sometime in mid-August.

Not sure of a release time schedule for this new batch of pieces, but I will have a better idea after our sessions. Stay tuned…
