QUESTIONS FOR THE GODS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR out now! Full album ADULT CHILD coming 6/13/25!
Thrilled to share the first single from my forthcoming solo album ADULT CHILD, a song called QUESTIONS FOR THE GODS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR! it was the first song I wrote for this record. It was the beginning. There is a part of me that can’t quite seem to stop trying certain things, hoping for different outcomes, and negotiating with immovable realities. I come by this tendency honestly—and I’ll get eyeball-deep into exactly why that is over the course of releasing this record—but I still catch myself reaching for new things with old ideas about myself, about other people. This is a song about observing that dynamic, that cycle. Read the premiere in MAGNET here; watch the vid here; and stream below! Enjoy!
Simply Said (Live at Sound Emporium)
To mark the second anniversary of Conversations with My Other Voice being released to the world, I have made Simply Said (Live at Sound Emporium) available on all streaming platforms!
In this solo electric performance, it’s just me, the truth, and my 1969 SG named Boundary. It was written and performed by me, recorded and mixed by Justin Francis, and mastered by Dan Shike. Sound Emporium is my studio home in Nashville, and a place of musical legend. It was an honor to record this there. There’s also a video of this performance! Enjoy.

Conversations with My Other Voice: album & essays
My new album, Conversations with My Other Voice, is a memoir-in-songs. The songs are served up in pairs; one from the perspective of who I once was, and one from the perspective of who I am now. There are five sets in total; the stories outline my journey with my own voice, literal and figurative. In lieu of having physical copies of the album made, I wrote a book of essays that correspond with the music. Both the book and the album were released on September 23rd.
