About Me |
|
| Inspired by the misfortunes and the happy coincidences, the amazing acquaintances and the regretful friendships, the forced convictions and the adopted preferences. I was born in rural Vermont and continue to try to find a place that I can feel at home, past include both north and south California (ideally two states), Neuvo Mexico, and now Arizona.
Hibernation A Warm Bed .. for more videos visit www.youtube.com/workinprogressmusic I've done a few self released albums, the self titled Work in Progress (2003), WIP2 (2004), Attention Starved (2006), and Oh You Know How I Love To State The Obvious (2007) . Future releases are planned, of course, including a rerecorded, more professional sounding Attention Starved, the new album Don't Know Where We're Going, and a rock ep called Granite. I would like to very soon include piano, cello, and drums into my acoustic folk mix. I got this neat microphone for my ipod, so I've been testing it out recording different things. Here is a recording for a show I did at the vegan restaurant in Flagstaff called HIP. download here This was recorded days before the 4th year anniversary of Elliott Smith's death. Tracklist: 1. Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands 2. I Figured You Out 3. All Cleaned Out 4. Can't Make A Sound 5. True Love Work In Progress - Elliott Smith Tribute EP 2007 I'd like to start doing these every year. To all you Elliott fans, for potenially fucking up songs you love, sorry I love them too. |
