Hello, pfriend. Having a good summer?

Mine just got pretty fantastic...

I'm writing from a top secret location just north of Atlanta, where I just began recording a NEW RECORD! I promise it will be like nothing I've done before. Jeremy Griffith has signed on as producer and he's already brought some incredible ideas to the table. I can't wait for you to hear it.

I wrote several of the new songs while on the TWLOHA Uchapters Tour this spring with my good buddiesDamion Suomi and Lauris Vidal. Some of the lyrics are directly inspired by experiences we had during our six week tour across the country.

I'll be posting videos and pics every day from the studio, and you can follow me on Twitter if you'd like an up to the minute status of how the project is going.

For those of you in the NoVA/DC area, I'm coming home to play all these new songs at Jammin Java on August 4. The Rocketboys and Death On Two Wheels will be joining me. They are dynamite. Please come and get down with us.

I'll be going on tour all over the U.S. (and hopefully Canada) for the new record in the fall, so look for new tour dates popping up soon.

Thank you for listening. I could not do this without you. It is such an amazing privilege to do what I love.
