Noodlin’ on this catchy jazz tune composed by Bobby Timmons and recorded by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in 1958.

Moanin'

Haunting love song written by late record producer (and convicted murderer) Phil Spector. The Teddy Bears recorded it with a female vocalist in 1958. It was #1 on Billboard for three weeks. Many artists have recorded it since then. When men sing the song, the title is changed to “To Know You Is to Love You.”

To Know Him Is to Love Him

Popular 1949 blues song composed in by Beasley Smith with lyrics by Haven Gillespie. Recorded over the years by many artists, including Frankie Lane, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra. 

That Lucky Old Sun

Doo-Wop song recorded by The Five Satins in 1956 (which bears no resemblance to Cole Porter’s 1936 song by the same name).

In the Still of the Night

Paul Simon's classic 1975 rock song 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

Two popular long-ago songs that have withstood the test of time. Pennies From Heaven was introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1936 film by the same name and also recorded that year by Billie Holiday. April Showers was performed by the legendary singer/songwriter Al Jolson in the 1921 Broadway musical “Bombo”.

“The Pirate Gospel” is a battle cry for the working class dressed in a punk rock riot. I wrote this as a sarcastic sea shanty turned pop punk protest, trading buried treasure for broken systems. It’s my way of flipping the script, instead of looting ships, we’re sinking capitalism. This song is for anyone who’s been priced out, laid off, or lied to by power in a suit. Rage is a hymn, and this is our gospel.

The Pirate Gospel

“Time to Thrive” is a pulsing trance anthem I wrote about stepping out of survival mode and fully embracing transformation. It’s about honoring what we did to endure the past, but choosing to evolve beyond it. I wanted the energy to feel like a surge of light bursting through old limits, with lyrics that speak to reclaiming power and possibility. This song is for anyone ready to let go of fear and finally thrive. It’s a declaration of freedom.

Time To Thrive

This one’s for the misfits who made it. Certified Shitstorm Survivor is my punk acoustic anthem of raw resilience. It’s everything I’ve been through, every breakdown, every restart, every time I got written off but came back louder. It’s sarcastic, it’s sharp, and it’s a reminder, I’m still standing, and I’m not going anywhere.

Certified Shitstorm Survivor (Explicit)

Late Summer Blues

Hearts Align is a soulful, vintage ballad about timing, healing, and love that doesn’t need explanation, it just feels right. I wrote it in the spirit of those quiet moments when someone walks into your life and changes everything without needing to say a word. It’s about finally recognizing that love is simple, steady, and meant for you. This one’s for the believers who waited and finally found what was always theirs.
