March Forth


I’m getting Spring fever. At least we have music to keep our spirits up!

Horizontal Line album single release cover artwork Grateful Dave Music

On March 11, 2024 I have a new song “Horizontal Line” out on all digital music platforms. It’s an acoustic song and I really love how it turned out. Came up with several versions including one with the band before settling on the final version, a simple acoustic guitar and vocal performance. I’m also proud that the vocal and rhythm guitars were cut live together in one take, I just love the idea of a performance on the recording not a cut and paste production. The cover photo was taken with my phone on a walk down the boardwalk in Island Heights. It was a foggy morning and the river was a smooth as glass. There is no “photoshop” just a little filter to warm it up. Normally you would see the other side of the riverbank, it was just a magic moment!

This month I will be crazy busy preparing and performing for a run on live theatre dates in the pit orchestra for “Big Fish” at Point Pleasant High School. Lending guitar work to the school musical has become a tradition for me, and although I don’t know show yet, I’m sure the cast will make it memorable. It’s a treat to play in a large orchestra with a mix of other professionals and students. For ticket info visit the PPHS page.
