​​​​Reality is Complicated
​b/w Shadows and Doubt
Available from 19 September 2025

A new single, my first proper output since 2020, and I'm very stoked to share it with you. These songs are the product of one of the most tumultous periods of my life, less crafted than just sort of manifested, and therapeutically so.

4 songs, "Reality is Complicated," "Shadows and Doubt," and two bonus instrumentals. "Reality" and "Shadows" feature the formidable skills of my sonic superheroes/compatriots, Greg Mayo, Zach Jones, and Brian Killeen.

All four recordings are available now at all of the usual digital places, but at my bandcamp page you can hear and purchase the songs, and you'll also receive bandcamp-exclusive instrumental mixes for "Reality" and "Shadows"... fire up your best karaoke tenor or mezzo-soprano!

Thanks as always, for having a listen, and for your support.

Thank you for listening.

I've been making music for going on 40 years now (crazy seeing that I'm only 19 years old), from the first recordings I made with high-school-era bandmates in 1985 (the songs were called "Wind" and "Living in the 1980s" and "Broken Tree" and no I don't have those recordings)... through Serious Pilgrim and then a bunch of solo albums and singles. You can find my music on Spotify (and maybe add a song of mine to a playlist of yours!) and Amazon Music and Apple Music, or you can get nuts and grab a 45 or a CD from me when I'm playing the odd show here and there!

However you do it, whenever you do it, know that I appreciate it immensely. 
NOTE!

Hit me up if you'd like to host a Virtual Campfire on your Zoom for friends and loved ones.
