A selection of songs from my first studio album.

We're Still Friends

Notch In My Bedpost

Last Song #2

No Hit Wonder

The Stars Are Hiding

Liz Phair, one of my favorite songwriters chose the 8-track demo version of my song What Did You Expect (studio version posted on my page) for a Jane Magazine compilation. This is one of my favorite songs of hers.

Don't Holdyrbreath (Liz Phair | Girly-Sound Cover)

My "single" from the last record. Was used as the theme song for the LGBT web series, "Conversations With My Ex."

Sleeping With Strangers

Rough mix, as are all of these. This is the original version without live drums.

Cut To The Next Scene (original mix, sans live drums)

I wrote this for a short film I was in, and recorded it at my friend Bob's apartment, Bob is on violin. 

I'm Not the Person

Who Do I

Can't believe this one wasn't up! Have fond memories of playing the studio's HEAVY vintage Les Paul at the end of a 12 hour recording session for the rhythm guitar part, and second intro/ outro track. I'm blanking on the studio name, was on Kent in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 2007ish? I wrote this in response to a song by a friend that I presumed was about me; he called me out for humming the words to my songs as I'd sing them to him so he wouldn't know they were actually about him. Only the obvious parts. :)
