02 Let The Children Dance

03 Sand Castles

04 Five Months From October

rough cut for the new record. about an individual running off the rails, giving away the best of themselves to the worst  "lovers". 

05 Giving it all Away

a musically light number about a heavy subject: addiction. likely candidate for an upcoming full-length CD. feedback appreciated!

After Today

to quote shakespeare, "love is not love which alters when it alteration finds." a song about good friends choosing to let difference of opinion drive a wedge between them. recorded at jimmy dog studios by jeff romano.

06 No Man's Land

from 2005's "five spot", a demo of songs. this is a loose narrative of those who journey out without compass or anchor and seek to understand and negotiate themselves out of a mess.
recorded by adam kerpelman in charlottesville, va. 

Deal

a song of release, literally. in a neo-soul vein. a live recording from a set at para coffee in charlottesville, va in early 2012 . with patrick haggerty (of winston cup 1981) on percussion, and mixed by luke rabin of freeway arts.

Feels Like Goodbye

the first live capture of this song. a bit of autobiography. "cuts his foot" is true. it happened to me. 

1-Sun is Rising

everything i write is in someway or another fed by everything i ever listened to: from bach to stan getz, talking heads to thomas tallis, matt pond pa to dan fogelberg, beatles to imogen heap, telepopmusik to vusi mahlaselah. i love the radio, as long as an intelligent individual is calling the shots... i've learned so much from dj's who know their &#!% and share their passion for it. we are all connected by music, one way or another. glad to play a small part in that symphony through time and culture.
