I'm quite certain that my "Inner Hipster" is what originally attracted me to the tune of Bon Iver. haha  Either way, I've been revisiting Justin's records frequently over the last few years.

My brother and I caught a Bon Iver show last year at the Brady Theatre in Tulsa Oklahoma and it was a spiritual experience to say the least.  :)  The light show was beyond anything I'd ever seen, and the energy in the room pretty much moved me to tears at a few points...  Justin was such an awkward guy on stage  when he tried to talk to the audience, but he was as honest as can be and everyone really respected and appreciated that... a very unified energy encompassed the place.  He didn't have to say much because his art spoke for itself.  

Here's my latest Youtube vid covering one of Vernon's creations.  





As many of you know, I just released my third full - length album entitled "ELEVEN".  It came out on January 1st and it's a summation of the last few years of my life.  Songs like "Limbo" actually date back as far as 7+ years.  I find myself writing frequently but most of the songs are set aside because I don't feel settled on a particular section... verse/chorus etc.. and I feel that the best way to finish a song is to give it some space.  The only problem with this equation is that I sometimes lose songs in the mix of hundreds recorded to my voice recorder, phone, computer hard drive... and the list goes on. haha  Although, I'm convinced that my intuition has a way of nudging me back to an unfinished song when I've lived through an experience that deems fitting to its closure.

Well...  Good day friends, fans, and anyone else randomly reading this crap. lol  spread your positive energy!!
