Mystical Sense

A creative bug hit me today, so I decided randomly to create an 'over the top', Discovery Channel-meets-Monster Truck Rally radio announcement for my band's show this evening. LOL

It's my birthday and my day was free, so I decided to have some fun in the home studio. This is the result of two hours' work pretty much on the fly. Enjoy!

Beyond the Horizon

This weekend marks my parents' 35th wedding anniversary. Since they're essentially the reason I pursued a life of music (not to mention huge blues fans), I thought it wholly appropriate to write, record and produce an original blues tune in their honor! Enjoy!

35th Anniversary Celebration Blues

Smoooooth. Like shaving with Corinthian Lather.

All writing, arranging, performances, mixing and production by yours truly.

Corinthian Lather

George Floyd. Eric Garner. These men were murdered by police officers who mercilessly choked the life out of them. Both men desperately cried out that they couldn't breathe - their pleas falling on deaf ears.

Their deaths are emblematic of what is happening throughout American society to people of color; whether from the constant threat of police brutality, the perpetual cycle of social and economic injustice, or the continued marginalization of their collective voices. Black people have run out of options - they can't breathe. I wrote this song to highlight the needless deaths of these men, but also as a greater metaphor for the outrage and frustration taking place in this country right now. 

As a society, we must contend with the systemic, entrenched racism that has pervaded this country since its inception. We must productively address police brutality, economic and societal injustice toward minorities. 

As a white man who has grown up and lived my life with many inherent privileges - and still has much to learn about the society I live in - I say with all my heart: 

Black Lives Matter

I Can't Breathe

My father, Robert Williams, is a brilliantly talented musician and songwriter. I owe him so much for informing the musician and man I've become. To honor him and his work, I decided to record a cover version of one of his songs. "Stranded" is a favorite of mine; I grew up listening to my parents' band rehearse and perform this song countless times. I hope this helps bring a bit more well-deserved exposure to my dad's music - Thanks for listening!
