Free-download my new single, “The Squirrel” (Right-click to save, or click to play)

I’m proud to offer what I think is one of my finest songs for free download. I wanted to give a shout-out, too, to my crew on this studio project:


  1. -Ron Guensche, bass and recording engineer – Also my editor on Indie Rock 101, Ron is in two stellar bands himself that play around the Bay Area, The Gentlemen and Spidermeow. He just produced albums for both, too, and they’re amazing. Check ‘em out.

  2. -Adam Wayne – lead guitar – Also the lead guitarist of the Gentlemen. This is the first time I’ve worked with Adam and his leads on this track are sick. In a good way, of course.

  3. -Mike Wells – The best mastering engineer in the Bay Area, period.


To listen to or free-download the MP3, click on or right-click the Squirrel. Also be sure to join my new Facebook artist page, which I’ll be expanding in coming months when I have more time to figure it out. ; )

Bio

I got my first paying gig as the lead singer in a pop metal cover band at age 13, and was playing trumpet well before that. Since 1993, I’ve independently released 5 records as a singer/songwriter, recording and mixing the last four and managing my live band, Johnstown, along the way. I’ve also played drums in a variety of San Francisco bands, including The Tenderfew. You can keep up with my latest recordings and projects by signing up for my newsletter and visiting the book’s Facebook page.
