Summer 2010 has been irrepressibly beautiful. It’s everything we want our summers to be here in New England.  We daydream about these days throughout the hollowest days of winter, where all hope but the premise of a long drive on a warm evening with the windows down is sometimes the only thing that pulls us [...]

The bar’s been set for summer 2010, and it’s started here in spring, one of the most beautiful in memory. As I woke from a nap this afternoon (Sunday, May 16), I realized how difficult it’ll be to top the fun and adventure of the last few days, but as always, I’m willing to give [...]

Recording came to a close last Thursday night at Thundering Sky with good friends Jesse Dold and Courtney Brocks lending sweet harmonies to a number of tracks. The session was incredibly productive and efficient, although those words make it seem robotic when in actuality it felt like swimming with the current. I’m amazed at Jesse’s [...]

This Friday, March 12, I’ll be performing in my hometown at the Elysium Arts Folk Club (Rollinsford, NH). Good friends Courtney Brocks and Jeff “JHawk” Hawkinson will join me to round the night into an event for all-time. The show is alcohol-free and all ages. Details and directions. Update: Eric Ott will not be opening [...]

Driving home from Thundering Sky at midnight tonight, I dodged goose feather snowflakes in my Element while listening to piano sonatas. It was the perfect backdrop for my mind set, at once born of exhaustion and absolute joy. It’s interesting to me how tough it is to finish. Anything. I wrote about this a few [...]

I’ll keep this short and sweet, as Saturday’s show at Elysium Arts Folk Club to benefit the Dover Children’s Center burned my tank to fumes. I’ve now been doing this toy drive for 10 years running. We started small, grew it to epic proportions (we collected 823 toys in one fell back in 2003), and [...]

The total tally for Saturday’s benefit for the Dover Children’s Center: over 120 items (including toys and clothing) and over $300 in gift cards. Thank you all for your donations! Merry Christmas!

On Saturday, December 12 I’ll be hosting a toy drive at the Elysium Arts Folk Club (Rollinsford, NH) from 3-6 PM. My good friends and fellow elves Courtney Brocks and Jeff Hawkinson will join me. Free admission with the donation of a new, unwrapped toy (I’ll have a list of items posted here in the [...]

Life’s been crazy around here lately. Everything’s coming to the surface at once. Music’s gone from a part-time endeavor to a second occupation, and living this lifestyle (along with working full-time in the day) has run me into the ground. I’m tired, but it feels amazing, because I’ve been having the time of my life [...]
