Becoming The Protector - Episode IV
I present to the world “Becoming The Protector - Episode 4”. This is the biggest and best-est video entry yet.
I originally planned to release 4 new entries, but in a fit of fun and determination decided to group the last 5 months into 1 new entry, and BOY IS IT HOT!
You’ll see footage from the Mietown Motown sessions, some footage from my “Evening of Fear” showcase, plus a bunch of...
A Photo From Last Night's Studio Rendezvous
Studio success last night! “Magic” sounds incredible, and we’ve got some great ideas for what’s to come next week. Including kazoos. I’ll be posting some video updates super duper soon.
Back In The Studio Tonight!
Tonight we are going back into the studio to continue work on the first “Protector EP”. It is called “Wicked Ways”.

Tonight we are working out some bits on two nearly completed...
A Decision Regarding The New Album
After careful consideration, I have come to a new decision regarding the way in which I will be executing and releasing the music from my current project “The Protector”.
About 8 months ago, I was ready to release an EP of sketches from the project called “Prophets Become Protectors”; however, I ultimately decided to shelf that idea and instead put my focus into working...

Below are a couple excerpts from the write-up. If you’re interested in reading more, you can download the full pdf write-up below.

A Note About Oslo
A few weeks ago, I went into the studio to work on an incredible session with a full orchestra, recording two of the new songs from The Protector with my very good friend and extremely talented arranger, Paul Dougherty.
The week prior the session, I posted a write-up about one of the songs we’d be recording for the musicians I’d be woking with, as well as for friends to read....
Progress From The Studio!
A few weeks back, I went into the studio to record two songs from the new album with brilliant arranger and friend Paul Dougherty, as well as our very own orchestra! It was an exciting day, and I can’t wait to get those sessions out there for the world to hear!
I’m working on the fourth entry of my Becoming The Protector video series (which has tons of footage from the 12 hour...

Magic Is Coming This Weekend
As annual tradition follows, I will be releasing a new song on November 6th.
This year’s song is not a finished song though! Instead, I have decided to release an early sketch of song called Magic that will be featured on my upcoming album project The Protector.
I recorded the sketch in one take with an old tape recorder I found in a closet at my parent’s house. I thought it would be cool to...
