Episode 26 - 'Dancing With Our Demons'
We’re baaaack! Last episode I mentioned that I would be taking a little break as I moved to a new apartment and got my studio set back up. I was imagining that it would be maybe the months of June and July of 2022. But life found a way to keep us apart. But in July 2023, I recorded this episode…

We’ve made it to April which means I’m coming up on the 1 year anniversary of moving to LA!

We spend some...

Episode 23 - 'Next To You'
It is March and we are marching our way towards Spring. The weather here in LA has been ALL over the place – from the 80s to the 30s. I was originally going to do another wintry song this episode, but I changed course because it was already so warm and it didn’t feel right to do 3 wintry songs in…

Episode 20 - 'Step Aside' with Greg Breal
Truly, this year has gone by so slow and somehow so fast. I cannot believe we are here in November, like what even is time. This episode is going to be the Season Finale for Season 2. So there will be no new episode on Dec. 1st. But we will be returning on Jan 1st with Season 3! In the meantime,...

Episode 19 - 'Halted State'

Hii here we are in August, how the heck? When did? 2020?? What’s happening. As you may have noticed, we took last month off. In truth, I had another episode recorded but was having technical issues and I recorded this episode at the last minute. I didn’t give myself enough time to record this…

Episode 16 - 'Prayer of Protest'
Another month has gone by and another episode is here. This episode is slightly different from how we usually do things. I had a different episode lined up, but given the events of the past week and the protests and rebellions that followed, I felt compelled to release something different. It...

Episode 15 - 'North Star'
Hello hello! Somehow it is the end of April? Anyone else feel like March was eternal and April came and went in the blink of an eye?? We’re still in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, so there’s not too much to report. This month’s episode is just me by my lonesome. I was unable to find a...
