Blessed with killer new albums from two friends of mine in @rebeccaportermusic.bsky.social and Zach Welch yesterday. On my second listen-through of each today and if y'all haven't gone to check em out you absolutely should! Independent country music is in a damn fine state these days.

It's insane how shitty Jack Daniels is considering its ubiquity. I'll take plastic jug Canadian whiskey over this stuff.

This song is an ode to a bar and a jam night and a music community that I love. If you ever find yourself around Dyer, IN on a Tuesday night, be sure to go to Finnegan's Pub. I'll see ya there.

"Finn's & Tuesday Nights" is out everywhere 8/19, and I hope you give it a listen.

Can't wait to head down to Texas later this month to see my brothers in bawling for Sad By Southwest 2025! I'll be sharing a set with my buddy Jason Harrell on Day 2 (8/23). If you're in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, make plans to have a good time with sad music!

For my upcoming releases (yes, plural) I wanna get a lot better about promotion. Who are your favorite folks who write/review/talk about music?

I like it! Definitely weirder and more playful sound-wise, but the songs are good and his voice hits as hard as ever.

I know I was teasing an announcement last week, but our AC is out right now and I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit at this computer for more than an hour at a time. Plus I'm an old man that can't stand doing work on my phone. So that might get pushed back a couple more days.

Yes! The mint Oreo thins are a top tier cookie!

Call me a stick in the mud, but I like regular Oreos over double stuffed. The cream to cookie ratio is better.

One of the most toxic traits that's way too common these days is tribalism and adults rooting for specific companies that don't give a fuck about them. In video games, in wrestling, in all media. Engage with things you like, ignore things you don't, and shut the fuck up.
