Is music just nostalgia? I’ve seen Depeche Mode (and others) over 20 times and it never gets old. But . . . it also never gets new or relevant to me - where I am NOW. I believe music is missing a vibe and intimacy of when music was new (to me) but with themes targeted at someone that’s seen Depeche Mode over 20 times. 

This is Adult Alternative Anthemic Rock - Big Songs with Big Themes. 

A blend of synth and guitar with an updated nostalgic edge  

The anthemic spirit of the Killers
The sonic textures of Depeche Mode
The timeless themes of U2
The production value of Duran Duran

Music powerful enough to reset the nostalgic clock

What's Next is the quintessential jumping off point for my Second Act.  My hope is that you recognize when and how to take that leap.  I'm in mid-air right now.

GOING PUBLIC - 3/31/25

Core influences: Depeche Mode, Muse, The Killers, The National, Bleachers, Editors, White Lies, and U2.

Love You To Death

Fully remixed album (from March 2024 demos) updated with live drums by Martyn James. Contains midlife reflections on many things, belated bouts of outrage and billions of backing vocals.

Say it now

Exploding!

"I don't think I've ever heard - or played - anything on the radio before that goes from sounding like a souped-up Rotary Connection to Gang Of Four within the space of three minutes. It's heady stuff; an intoxicating international groove... just really, really good...really, really enjoyed that..." Adam Walton (musician and presenter) on BBC Radio Wales, 1st March 2025

Is music just nostalgia? 

I’ve seen Depeche Mode over 20 times and it never gets old. But . . . it also never feels new to where I am NOW. It's a portal, not a progression.  I want to bring that feeling - when music changed everything for me - and bring that energy, connection and intimacy into the present. Not to relive the past, but evolve it. 

This is Adult Alternative Anthemic Rock - Big Songs with Big Themes. A blend of synth and guitar with an updated nostalgic edge.  A sound steeped in the best of the past but built for now.

-The anthemic spirit of the Killers 
-The sonic textures of Depeche Mode 
-The timeless themes of U2 
-The production value of Duran Duran

 Music powerful enough to reset the nostalgic clock. 

But nostalgia isn’t about looking back—it’s about what connects us. Music has always been a unifier. A way to say “I feel this, too.” And in a world that keeps pushing us apart, that’s more important than ever.

And no better place to start than with 'What's Next?' - the quintessential jumping off point for my Second Act. A song about taking the leap - and knowing when it's time. 

Core influences: Depeche Mode, Muse, The Killers, The National, Bleachers, Editors, White Lies, and U2.
