A Severe Joy

01/20/2013 My series of ten singles is not yet complete.  I managed to release the five throughout 2012.  It will likely take me another year to put out the next five.  Since I’m in a good place for an intermission, I would like to present to you Cinematesque Part 1 – a collection of updated, [...]

It’s nearly winter and I spent the entire autumn season playing catch-up without once updating this website. Please forgive me folks, followers, listeners, curious visitors. When it comes time to get ready for a show, I’m usually in the midst of finishing an assignment for work, or getting ready to head out to my new [...]

It’s raining again in Portland, ME. The air quality all week has been heavy. I’ve been trying real hard to stay healthy throughout and knock on wood, I feel good for tomorrow’s big show in Belfast, Maine with The Toughcats and The Milkman’s Union. Every year for the past 3 years, Three Tides & Marshall [...]

04.11.2012 Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the month of April? With two singles completed and released (No.’s 1 & 2), I’ve been focusing on finishing up the tracks for the next one. It’s a bit of a challenge to keep the fresh ideas flowing, but it’s even more of a challenge to have [...]

While I do hear voices from time to time (mostly in my dreams), they’ve been rather cumbersome lately. I’m not sure what that means. There’s a nagging feeling emanating from whichever side of my brain is in charge of discipline that keeps urging me to release the pre-order for the No. 2 single plexi-discs. I [...]

Hello folks. Since returning from tour, Stephen Quirk at Factory Portland and I have been preparing the next single, No. 2, for release. The limited edition plexi-disc will be made available for purchase as soon as it is in hand. In the meantime, it is now digitally available via the ASJ bandcamp page And if [...]
