UPDATE:MARCH 2009
About the new album: I've written a new song last week and I'm very excited about it. I have completed mixing about half the album and I have to see about getting them to the mastering studio when funds are available. Since I'm on a limited budget, I might release one to two songs at a time on itunes, throughout 2009. Please check back here for more updates. Thanks to everybody!
UPDATE: February 2009
I'm mixing the new album in the studio. Recording bass guitar, my drum kit sounds real good, and I'm working with some guitar effects. I'm feeling pretty good about this production, so far. I might have to extend the release date however, because there's lots more to still do to make it sound great. Fingers crossed, thanks for checking in.
UPDATE: November 2008
The new album is 3/4 complete. I'll be putting up session photos. I'm working on arranging for bass guitar, percussions, piano and electric guitar. Also doing a rough mix. I hope to do the final mixing by March...fingers crossed. Also, thank you to everyone who's been buying my albums on itunes, rhapsody, etc.. YOU GUYS make all my hard work worth it!
UPDATE: September 2008
My albums are now available to download on AMAZON
UPDATE: June 2008
I'm working to get the next release out by spring 2009. I wrote a lot of songs over the winter so I'll be recording and mixing the tracks all summer.

CD Release Party
It was cool to see you all recently at my CD release party. Thanks for all the kind words and support. I'm glad we had a chance to get together. I've posted some photos of that day. You guys are the best. What a blast!
Other things I've been doing
Over the past year and a half I've been in my studio writing and recording a new CD. I've also been working on a huge re-mixing/mastering project of about 150 songs that I wrote and recorded from 1991-2008. See albums page.
The newest release, "Facing Harder Reasons Than Before" has been one of my more challenging music solo productions to date. I went through a process of trying new techniques as I arranged each song with several kinds of instruments. Everything you hear is me performing, the guitars, bass, drums, piano, etc.. In the case of learning to play the Erhu, I always wanted to add strings to the music. I played it before on "Sold the Home for the Tackle Box", but this time the performance is more intricate and emotional, not as raw. The lyrics are all very real. I write as honestly as I can.
I'm still releasing everything on my own recording label (ebdb records) via the performance rights organization ASCAP.
Enjoy the new album!
