I've been out touring a little with Rudder. We played in LA to a very nice house -- even in spite of an Arkworthy rainstorm (which is usually a groovekiller out in the land of happy sunshine). To top that off, the LA times came down and gave us quite a good show review -- calling me a stringy haired Alchemist. Rudder will be out and about in the US more this year. We have even been asked to do a couple major festivals this summer . . WOOHOO!

Back at home, I'm working with a talented and well-known producer friend on his House record for Vajra records (a division of Columbia Japan). We have co-written 6 songs with more to come. It's nice chemistry and really fun.

I'm keeping busy with other little production projects as well as up-coming creative efforts.

Anthony and I are also working hard to launch the new incarnation of the 19/8 website. It's gonna be a monster. We are amped about the new Chris Tarry CD which just came out on the label as well as the forthcoming Will Vinson CD. Here we go.

Stay warm and dry and find me for a drink sometime!
