You and Me

This song started as a lyric piece, but I ultimately decided to go with just the happy, bouncy instrumental, which lends itself very well to sync licensing for commercials and other streaming media. I had a lot of fun putting this video together as a companion piece. Lots of puppers playing, including two of my own favorite canine rock stars - my producer's pups, Emma and Jake (they are shown in the video thumbnail below, excitedly gazing at some turtles)! A shoutout to my producer Gary Gray, as always, for his life changing guidance and help!

The Oceans of Titan

It is incredibly exciting to have the honor of collaborating with Producer, Mentor, and Sculptor of Sound Gary Gray, TEAM Founder and CEO, on this recording (and more to come)! Gary and I are working on a production album we intend to title Guitar Voyages. This song started out as a minimalistic guitar meditation piece, but when Gary heard the David Gilmour-inspired sounds I had played, he decided to build an arrangement in homage to Pink Floyd. This song has been licensed non-exclusively for the upcoming AI Documentary: AI and The Music Industry: The Great, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (and is available for further non-exclusive licensing). Come explore The Oceans of Titan!

Honest Abe

Inspired by the songs of Mark Knopfler, I sat down one day to write a character-based song. Hmm? Who would I write about? It didn’t take very long for me to settle on a personal hero – Abraham Lincoln. As a child, I was fascinated by “Honest Abe”.

While history has undoubtedly mythologized Lincoln to some degree, and cast aside possible character flaws, there are plenty of reasons why Lincoln is one of our most favorably remembered leaders. Lincoln led a torn nation through one of its most challenging periods. The “Great Emancipator” is perhaps most notably admired for his vital role in turning America from treating people inhumanly to being a beacon of hope by bringing politicians together to pass the 13th Amendment and end the horror of slavery.

Lincoln rose from a humble background to become a shining star in a world that so often needs heroic figures to inspire us to be the best we can be. I found the example of Lincoln in our history books to be an incredible inspiration and an admirable example that humanity should strive to emulate.

Laid Back

I recently collaborated with painist and composer Dan Schrieber, a fellow TEAM member. Dan reached out and asked if I would play some guitar on a track he was working on called "Laid Back". I was delighted to give it a go! A few months down the road, Dan reached back and shared the track he had created working with Producer and TEAM founder Gary Gray, and I was blown away! They had re-worked the song around my guitar track and produced a beautiful, chill track that I just love! Dan's awesome keyboard solo is a real highlight for me! I hope you enjoy it (no fancy image here, just a great instrumental track)!
