My new album is finally out! The Good, The Bad, & The Breakfast is streaming on all platforms and wherever quality cereal is sold!

This album has been a long time coming. The earliest recordings for it were started in 2021, and the earliest song was written in 2018 (betcha can't guess which one)

It took a village to make this album. Gotta give thanks to @badnewzstudios for recording and mixing the entire thing, and @matlefflerschulman for mastering. A ton of people played on this album, and I'm just gonna list them all here:

Sam Elliot, @funkyginger9 - drums, vocals
Kevin Schechter @ksch42 - bass, vocals
Evan Mays - drums
Potter Clark, @potteraclark - fiddle
Chris Seto, @csetofu
Hamza Khan-Tareen, @hkt_md - guitar
Jimmy Moon, @iamgme - vocals
Ned Parker, @nedparker.music - vocals
Ian Brost, @ianconor - vocals
Tyler Beard, @danieltylerb - drums
Mason Henry, @norfolkweird - bass

Release show is tomorrow at @songbyrddc with @missmoon_music and @keegan.delrio. It's gonna be a spectacular show that you won't want to miss (there may even be a few guest stars!)

🎤Studio Sundays: Ep. 11 From the Engineer’s Perspective

As we get closer to the release of the project, we sat down to reflect on the songs, the process, and everything that happens behind the scenes—and even asked each other a few questions along the way.

Michael is usually much more comfortable behind the camera and behind the board, and he’s definitely a man of few words. But when he speaks, he means what he says.

I asked him, from an engineer’s perspective, what makes my songs distinctive—and he had some really special things to say.

I appreciated this more than he probably knows. 🫶🏾
