A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of playing with the fabulous T Sisters from Oakland in another one of Chuck Johnson's Humboldt Live Sessions!  I think it turned out pretty ok!

I'm back from Thailand and ready to teach!  Holler at me!

Happy holidays everybody!  I'm about to split on winter vacation to Southeast Asia, and I'm pumped to share this with you before I go:  Presenting Rocket in the Sky / Rainbow in the Sky, a collaborative EP with myself and Vela Citrine, my (now) 5 year old roommate.  We recorded and edited lots of improvised jam sessions here at our place in Arcata, and we're stoked about how it turned out!  We recorded Vela's song 'Rocket in the Sky' and pieced together the rest from loops of us singing, talking, and playing toy percussion, guitar, ukulele, and whatever else was lying around.  I've been learning a lot about production in Ableton and its been super fun to work on these tunes.  I even got Vela to help program some of the percussion parts from my Launchpad, you can hear it on the Hawk Song.  Click the cover to check it out on Bandcamp, where you can download it for FREE.  WORD.

I'm wrapping up the year in gigs with a string of bluegrass shows with Raising Grain!  Its been a long year full of lots of music, I'm sorry to see it go but I'm stoked to take a break in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia this winter!  Come say hi at my last shows of 2013!

I thought I would share this article on structuring practice sessions, for those of you like myself who are learning new musical skills.  Some of the major concepts we have about how our brains learn best are wrong, check this out and start getting the most out of your practice!

Here's the sound of the new uke, in a tune named by a four year old!

I'm stoked to be a part of this festival coming up this weekend, put on by the awesome people at the Arcata Playhouse!  I'll be playing with Lyndsey and Brian on Saturday afternoon!  Even cooler, Lush painted Colin and I right there on the flyer!

I've been spending a lot of time over at Vance Banjos lately, and I just finished building this soprano banjo-uke this weekend!  Click on the pic for more photos on Facebook.
