Mellow song about a college sweathearts who loved hiking. One got cancer and the other shouldered heavy loads. 

Till the next trek Zach.

Lighten Up (demo)

Ballad about a couple of friends who died at the hands of others. Both were on two wheeled vehicles when tragedy struck. I realized that while we generally refer to these things as accidents, it’s not the whole truth. There are deliberate choices that lead up to and sometimes encompass the accident itself. I think we say accident for closure and we carry regret when we don’t believe ourselves.

Live with That (demo)

About living abroad and hustling. Some years go your way. Others you’re looking for something to show

Waiting for Flowers (demo)

Dark simple rocker about a “guy girl” that hangs out with a bunch of your guy friends

Give It On Up (demo)

Inspired by heavy wildfires in California and other situations that make you grateful to be with your lover.

Summer Summer Rain (demo)

WIP song for fans of Elliott Smith and Big Star

Nothing to be running from

This is a ballad about the one who got away. Someone challenged me to do only full takes on my Tascam 388 and record to tape so here’s what that sounds like.

The Right One (388 mix+).wav

Longtime singer songwriter. In my teens I played in punk and prog bands but I kept coming back to Elliott Smith. Melodic music with texture and heart. I’ve stashed songs away for too long and gonna start dropping demos and see what’s up. Will probably mostly stay in a chill vein but can be a bit manic at times so stay. tuned. for. that.
