Erkin Koray - Tek Başına (Yalı Çapkını Dizi Müziği)

A song about the storms that hit Ditch Plains Beach in January 2024 and the damage to our neighbor's property. This was the first attempt at playing the song live with another person. I wrote it after I had shoulder surgery and recorded it originally on midi.

Whatcha Gonna Do (WT JB) 2 - 16 - 24 V3

I wrote this song about the craziness of our current moment and how everyone seems so damn sure about all these complex issues. So much is seen through the lens of partisanship. I was reacting to that. 
 I was just coming off shoulder surgery so I could not play stringed instruments. So fun today to actually try to play my song on guitar with a kick ass drummer.

Don't Know Much (WT JB) 2 - 16 - 24 V1.4

This song is about a life change. I was just coming off shoulder surgery when I wrote this so I could not play stringed instruments. So fun to play my own song on guitar with a kick ass drummer. A bit of a Talking Heads vibe here.

Pay You Back In Kind (WT JB)  2 - 16 - 24 V1.4

Playing with a talented drummer, we tried making some trippy electronica using Spectrasonics Trillian software. First time for either of us to try making electronic music live.

Broke In Too (WT JB) 2 - 16 - 24 V2.2

I wrote this song recently and played it live for the first time with a professional drummer. Still rough, but fun to have new musical ideas take shape with other musicians.

Held my hands up high
Reach up to the sky
Watch the clouds til they move so slow
You might need less than you know

Dreams can show you how to fly
Leap half a mile no question why
I sure hope to meet you there babe
I’m up all night
Thinking bout simple dreams yeah
Thinking bout simple dreams			
My simple dreams

You know what I need so bad
Remedy for a fever that I’ve had
Felt so heavy feet were made of lead
Was I really still in my bed?

Dreams can show you how to fly
Leap half a mile no question why
I sure hope to meet you there babe
I’m up all night
Thinking bout simple dreams yeah
Thinking bout simple dreams			
My simple dreams

Watching you babe watching me
Sit around watching bad TV
Guess it's some way to unwind
But close my eyes to ease my mind

Dreams can show you how to fly
Leap half a mile no question why
I sure hope to meet you there babe
I’m up all night
 Thinking bout simple dreams yeah
Thinking bout simple dreams			
My simple dreams
My simple dreams

Simple Dreams 3 - 13 - 24 V1.2

This is a new song I started five days ago. Still making adjustments. So fun to have other exceptional musicians try it with me.

Friend of the Devil

I made a first attempt at Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage->Eclipse" from Dark Side of the Moon. I played the song on acoustic guitar rather than electric guitar which is used on the album. I overdubbed bass and also harmonies. The song "Eclipse" has a whole choral backing section and I did four vocal overdubs (including some acapella acrobatics) to approximate the sound. Then I had my friend WT overdub drums. The drums add so much to the chorus. I'm grateful to her! It was fun to try a less covered Floyd song. 

Brain Damage-Eclipse 5-6-25 v1.5

Tammany String Band plays acoustic music from Americana to bluegrass to folk in New York City. Peggy-O is a traditional song.
Tammany String Band is John Britton on vocals and mandolin; Jay Keuper on bass, Jane Perrino on vocals, and Tim Schmidt on guitar and vocals.

Peggy - O

acoustic version of Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee". Michael Karnow on acoustic guitar and vocal.

One More Cup Of Coffee 2 - 24 - 18 V2

This song started as a solo acoustic sing songwriter track, vaguely in an old-time musical style. Pete Miser took that straightforward song and totally reimagined it. I'm thrilled and honored by the work he did on it.

Our Direction 1.0

Acoustic guitar; folk; Americana; jam band influences; blues; rock; old time; bluegrass; grungey stuff. Even some electro and EDM vibes occasionally. I play a wide mix of music with a lot of different people.
