Guitars & Grievances: Pre-Order Now!

I can't express how excited I am that we are nearly to the release of my new album. These songs mean so much to me because they were inspired by you, the fans and the stories of people of this country. While on tour last summer, I was captivated by your stories, your hardship, and above all your compassion. In many ways, this album is a tribute to you.

Being on the road with just my guitar and loop pedal made me decide to record this album just like that. All the songs were recorded with just my trusty 6 string, and my voice. Think of the album as a live show recorded to perfection. I think there is great power in simple story telling, in a guitar and a voice.

You can pre-order your copy of Guitars & Grievances now right HERE

You will instantly get the first two tracks, including the first single and title track, Guitars & Grievances.
On the day of the digital release, December 20th (Just in time for Christmas) you will receive and email to download the whole album in any format you desire.

Thank you so much for your support and inspiration!

Story behind the Album: Guitars & Grievances

Very excited to be in the final stages of mixing and promotion for my new album, Guitars & Grievances.

Inspired by stories and experience from the road, Guitars & Grievances reflects the hardships, grievances, and spirit of the American people. In this time of great upheaval and change, I was drawn to the poets and storytellers of the 60's and 70's and how they became a voice for a generation fighting against the status quo. This influence combined with my experience traveling across the country with just my guitar and voice led me to create a very distinct sound for this album. A protest album, Guitars & Grievances also reflects the incredible level of community and compassion that I found while sharing music from coast to coast.

All the sounds on this album were created with either my guitar or voice and is a very lyrical album. At this point, the release date is set for early December, 2011! More details soon!
