NP "Big Red Letter Day" by Buffalo Tom 1993, baby... what a year to be young and alive

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

so - just to be clear. In the actual United States of America you can now break into the capitol building, break things in there, try to overthrow a free and fair election make death threats to elected officials and injure and kill law enforcement. This is what we're doing now? Just clarifying.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

TW: Hate speech This was on the front porch of the studio I have recorded at in Cincinnati this morning. The studio is a place of peace and inclusion, located in a diverse neighborhood with many immigrants. I am sickened and pissed off. Stay safe and lets be strong together against this evil.

Gimme something good. What's helping you get through right now?

By far one of the most consequential albums for me as a songwriter open.spotify.com/album/6j8Saw...

In Altadena, Kamala Harris tells families who have come to pick up meals from WC Kitchen that she and Doug wanted to make their first stop after touching down in CA here to thank volunteers and meet people affected by the fires. (1/20/25) video credit: Maeve Reston

Hope you'll listen to this song by @johngilmore Its important.

"Thin Places" is ten years old!!!! A really special record I made with a fantastic band. The idea was to touch on the folklore and stories of the place I'm from here in Indiana. I play all of these songs to this day, and the title track is probably the biggest fan favorite.

I love playing live. I love connecting with people through music. I love seeing how the songs develop and change. I'm booking for 2025, looking at anything after late April. If you want to see me in your town, let me know or you can host a house show - I do those too! Cheers to 2025.

DAYTON!!! I'm still reeling from the @blindbobs gig last month! Y'all brought the LOVE!!! I'll be back there in the spring, but ALSO I'm gonna be there February 27 at the fabulous @yellowcabtavern as part of Showcase Thursday!! Save the date and lets sing some songs together! Cheers!

Special release of unmastered mixes of a few selections from "Lonesome Shadow" by @timothyrye available for free over at Scout Knife. Artists! If you are interested in having me record you, message me as I'm booking for 2025!

My top album from 2024. A touchstone throughout the year. Love what these Edinburgh lads are building over there. Cheers! #music #uk #vibe #love

Two songs written (and one recorded) on a night in Oban, Scotland. An observation from the corner of a pub and a love letter to a departed fellow songwriter from the banks of the bay. Curious? Listen and read more here:

I had the joy and honor of recording, mixing and producing the sophomore release from Indianapolis' own @timothyrye this past year. It is now out in the world and worthy of your listening ear! Gothic western storytelling, folk-americana delivery.

GOOD GOOD TROUBLE is live on Spotify! Listen, Share, Playlist, Keep up the trouble! #newmusic #spotify #folk #americana #protestmusic #acoustic #songwriter #midwest #usa open.spotify.com/track/4kAs3N...

@necessaryanimals have intrigued me for years - the kind of band that creates worlds with their songs and albums. This new one released on @aldorabritainrecords is no exception. Really great stuff. #music #uk #indie @psychfolk #newmusic #davidlynch

Discovered this amazing band in Glasgow two years ago. Following their career and music since then has been such a joy - this record is stunning in its subtlety, deceptive complexity in simplicity, and.. as always.. the songwriting and harmonies.. top notch. #uk #manchester

Reminder you can get most of what I've released on Apple Music, including this lil cover of the Scottish traditional "Loch Lomond"
