A year of music and moving the studio to a new location. Wrote a few songs with other people, MikelParis and John Patrick Matthews, played with my bands Simplified and Clewdog, my good friend Cam Brown from of Good Nature & even with my son at multiple charity events.

John Patrick Matthews, Patrick Hammer Thornton (not pictured), Ben Jackson, Brian Fechino & I met up at Holler Studios in Nashville in the summer to record three songs. Brought my son along and he plays a 12 string on Regrets of the Day. (Proud dad moment!)

Can’t wait to get the studio done, and get in and start recording new music. Here’s to more gigs in 2026, seeing my son graduate and living the good life.
