The hike-in show that I did with The Tree Ring last fall was one of those great days with friends that I’ll never forget, and I’m really thankful to have friends who capture those days so beautifully.

I am about to start writing for another Tree Ring album but recorded some new songs at home that I’ve been tossing around. You can listen to them for free or buy a download here.

Last year I composed a piece of music to play within Wes Bruce’s fantastic Miss Augustine Greane installation, an enormous fort built with scrap wood and relics from the lives of Wes and his friends and family. This year, Southern California is getting a heavier dose than usual of the autumn weather that encourages reflection and slower, quieter hours. This music was made to encourage those same things so Wes and I decided it’s the right time to let the music out of the fort and let it take on new colors. You can download it for free here.

I sat in on a shoot for my friends Meg & Bryan with Jarel Paguio, who is a part of The Tree Ring family. Otherwise I’ve been laying low working on a lot of new music with a number of friends, all of which should be released soon.

My friends Bryan and Wes are premiering their film about Wes’ Miss Augustine Greane installation at California Center for the Arts last year.  I composed music for the installation and will be playing a short set of new songs before the screening next Wednesday.  More details here.
