Alexis Harte "6 Spoons of Honey"
There is always a trick in balancing blues and folk. They are so similar, yet so far apart in the thoughts going into the songs and the sounds and patterns expressed outward. This album had me thinking about the balance that Alexis Harte is able to achieve. Not only are those two classic forms present, but there are some modern indie touches in some of the songs. "Hadn't Met You Yet" is the best example with its spooky guitar squawks and spacey synthesizer ambiance. It's a fabulous song worth the price of admission by itself. But there are other nice songs like the attractive "Love After All". Nice effort here and the result is an album that should appeal to a pretty wide base of music lovers.

Check out this review (PDF) from Vintage Guitar magazine about my latest CD, 6 Spoons of Honey.
Yesterday, I attended the mix session for Blood Makes the Green Grass Grow, a beautiful short film that I scored. The film was written and directed by Josh Peterson. We mixed at Skywalker Ranch with Oscar winner Gary Rizzo (Inception, Dark Knight). What an experience...

I just launched a national radio campaign for 6 Spoons of Honey and we are off to a very good start out of the gate. In the first week, here are the results. And if you listen to any of these fine stations, please consider requesting, "Please Come Out." Thanks All!

Why my radio silence...?
It's been a complicated year.
From high to low, 2010/2011 witnessed: a baby boy born in August; the launching of Pollen Music, a custom music and scoring collective with 3 of the most inspiring composers and individuals I've had the pleasure to work with; and a post-thanksgiving fall down a staircase (luckily sans baby boy) that landed me in the ER with a broken L3 vertebrae.
Between these events, I managed to make a new CD called 6 Spoons of Honey which, on reflection, seems to encompass all the highs and lows the year brought. In fact, I may have written the whole thing while airborne above my staircase — cartoon-like — in that calm alert state just before free-fall....read more
