Recent Photos And Upcoming Events

 The last couple of weeks. Yeah.

Photos of several galas, several concerts, designing artwork for new singles for the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Cyrkle, prepping for the Cyrkle's Revival album on vinyl (coming in July), working with Shawn Lynch on the artwork for the new Strawberry Alarm Clock record (coming later this year), prepping for the announcement of my next record production. And more. So much more.
After 35 years away, I returned to Independence High last week to see the current Playmakers take the stage. Long ago, that theater was a big part of my life. As they say, nothing has changed, and everything has changed. It was nice to return for a moment, make peace with the past, and know that the space still means something to those who inhabit it now.
RIP to Chip Taylor (the first musician I met in Austin, TX when I first visited the city in 2002), Augie Meyers, Jon Dee Graham, Wayne Jernigan, and several others on the Great Highway.
If you are at the Big Star Quintet show tomorrow night at the , come by and say hello. Per usual, I'll be lurking in the corners.
Stand by for news. Honk Honk.
See you there, and see you on the road.

RIP Wayne Jernigan

RIP Wayne Jernigan, the man behind the beautiful dream that was, and will always be Reflection Studios. Every visit and opportunity to take photos there was a joy, as was talking to Wayne. May the man, and the music that he loved live forever.

Thank you Wayne. See you in the stars.

Events From The First Week Of March

 This past week. Photos of several luncheons and galas, Eastland Sports groundbreaking, Peter Rowan and the Doc Watson tribute show at the Neighborhood Theatre, Patrick Page at UNC Charlotte, and grand return to the recording studio.

A note to my longtime friend Jonathan Adams and his family. Joan Adams was, and will always a lovely person, and we are better for having her in our lives. Now she lives forever. Jonathan, it was wonderful to see you again, albeit for circumstances than we would have wished. And I hope to see you again soon.
Love to all, hang in there, and keep creating some good out there. See you in the stars, and see you on the road.
