Sam Adams Summer Ale

Tommy Rickard Commercial Demo

This is a song from SF band, the Clarke Nova. Loved playing in this band. So heavy, fast, and powerful. Matt Jervis is an AWESOME frontman. 

Get Along Now

Another track from the Clarke Nova. I actually don't remember what this song was called, but I called it Pills. It's definitely one of my favorites. 

Pills

One more by Yardley. Also produced by Todd Herfindal. Love the slight Americana feel to this one. 

Try Me

This is me doing my best to create a Steve Gadd vibe in the verses. :) Well... 
Beautiful song by Todd Herfindal. 

If I Hesitate

Really amazing song by the SF band Single, written by Todd Herfindal. Always a joy to play live. Especially love the bridge and how it continues to build in a not so obvious way. 

This Is A Love Song

Cool song and session I got to work on in LA, with some of my favorite people. Taras on bass, and Rich McCulley and guitar and producing. James Kidder singing this one. Young kid with a rich beautiful voice. 

Baltimore
