And with the closing of one show, we begin another immediately.
That Sordid Little Story opens on July 8th at The Viaduct Theater. I’ll be a part of the live band, writing some good old-fashioned folky tunes.
We had a showcase of some songs n’ scenes we’ve been workshopping over the past three weeks at the Chicago Cultural Center last night. I’m addicted to this dang ditty. Take a look and listen:
Hot damn!
I finally got the mp3 plugin to work! Small victories make me happy when all I have lately is Chicago’s ass cold outside smacking me all up in my ass face…
So here’s a preview of a creepy song for The New Colony‘s production of 11:11 which opens February 8th at Victory Gardens. These are still demos. For the actual real creepy Jesus song I’m gonna hire some ghosts to sing some doo-wop backups. Like in The Amazing Adventures of Pac-Man: The Album.

I took the day off today since I was dangerously close to turning into a potato. Spent the day going through old demos, finishing new ones and remembering that I am not my day job.
Tomorrow I go back to work like the rest of America’s potatoes. I’ll soon be interviewing for the position I currently hold because they’re… um, renaming my position and adding some whistles and bells to it in order to survive the economy’s wrath. So that affects one’s morale a bit when your entire department is… renamed.
But today has been a solid 10 hours of creativity with only a few breaks to refill a coffee mug or eat some farmer’s market strawberry-rhubarb pie. A good day.
