Had a blast playing Topanga Days! 🎶❤️

Felt the need to to a Neil Young song, as we were just down the street from his former home in Topanga. Where this tune was written and recorded!

Full video at link in bio. 👀

Hello from Ireland! 🇮🇪

Cliffs of Moher. 👀🌸😍

“What is now proved was once only imagined.” ⚡️💥❤️

I’m grateful for the outsiders, visionaries and misfits who spark our imagination and make the world more beautiful.

William Blake! One for the ages. 🌹

I'll be playing a set on the main stage at Topanga Days next month! With a six piece band, featuring Bernie Penzias on guitar! It's going to rock. 🤘

We play on Saturday, May 24 at 11:00am.

Get tickets now! 👀

Friday vibes. 😎

Spontaneous memorial to David Lynch at Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank. 💙

Great news! After eleven days evacuated, we can finally go home to Topanga. Hallelujah! 🙏💙🙌❤️

Boo Boo is clearly thrilled. “What, you’re going to put me in a carrier for the fourth time this week?!?” 😅

Still evacuated, still safe. Our home in Topanga is so far unaffected by fire. 🙏❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who’s reached out and all the positive vibes! Hopefully we can go home soon. 🤞

Messing around with an old song in a new year. 💫🎶

Happy New Year's Eve, all! 🔥

May it be as cozy and as comfortable as an old cat snuggled in a winter jacket.

Cheers! 🍾🥂❤️

Movie time. Nosferatu! 📽🧛🏻‍♂️👀

Haven’t seen the Dylan biopic yet, but I likely will. Despite my own misgivings about biopics.

Anyway, this paragraph in a review in @theatlantic.com by James Parker caught my eye. The major division in life is between carnies and non-carnies?!? Hell yeah!

Be the carnie of your own life! Love it.

Esther’s mom and brother are here for a visit so we did the Universal Studios thing.

Look out for that shark! 🦈

Great session today at Forward Motion Studios!

New album is really coming along. 🎶🤘🚀

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

This is Merwin. A month ago he was a very sick cat. FIP, which is fatal if left untreated. But thankfully we were able to get him medicine that was only recently approved in the U.S. And he’s bounced back! Eating, playing, all the things.

So happy to see this recovery. Long live Merwin! 😍

Here’s something random. A bunch of random New Yorkers in the 1980s randomly asked to read a short poem by William Carlos Williams.

Random? Yes. But for some reason I dig it. Thought I would share. Happy Friday!

Sounds a lot like Indie On The Move, which I've used for years now. Will definitely check it out!

Beautiful hike today in Topanga. ⛰🌿😍

Happy Friday! ✌️

Here's a Leonard Cohen song. 🎶🔥

Excited to be here! And outside the influence of far-right billionaires. Hopefully this place is more...social. 😂
