Recently, I've been writing about the not-so-great things that have been happening in my life. Maybe, it seems like I'm in a down period, but the truth is, I'm actually doing pretty well, and it's only because I'm not in a down period that I've been able to blog about my hyper-focus, my friendship issues,...

Tomorrow, Miners Creek will be hosting the second in our series of summer jams at Barnswallow Books in Rockport. We held the first of these jams along with our CD release party and it was a lot of fun. Musicians came and jammed. Singers came and sang. Music lovers came and sang along or clapped...

Last year, my band Miners Creek played the second stage at a small festival in Hanson, MA called Bluegrass on the Bogs. This is a great little festival put on at a place called Camp Kiwanee bordering an old cranberry bog (absolutely gorgeous scenery). They're a non-traditional festival specializing in regional bands and by regional... Continue Reading →
As I write this, there are 49 hours left in the Kickstarter Campaign for Miners Creek Band's 2nd Album. We're 104% funded with $2,614, which is exciting. We may not make our stretch goal of $3,000, but I'm relieved we achieved this much. We took a gamble and so far it's paying off. Sure, there's... Continue Reading →
I've spent the last week obsessively checking the progress of our Kickstarter campaign (if you're interested in checking out the campaign, follow this link).

Sitting here on this first day of a new January, I am of course thinking about everything that's happened between the start of last January and today. I don't know that I've yet had such a whirlwind year in my life. As such, I think my review of 2015 is best divided between several blog... Continue Reading →
Sometimes life moves so fast that it feels like I'm standing still and events are just sort of swirling around me in a whirl wind. I reach out and grasp something solid here and there, but mostly it feels like I'm floating down life's river, carried on a current. Other times, life takes a breath,... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween everyone! And what a beautiful Halloween it is. Crisp autumn air, seasonal colors on the leaves, sun shining, blue sky. A more perfect day I could not have asked for - a perfect day made all the better by the fact that not only is it Halloween, it's also Miners Creek Bluegrass Band's... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was hot. The kind of hot where I was starting to wonder if maybe I was actually part troll (I'm talking Terry Pratchett trolls with Silica brains who actually get dumber the hotter it gets and turn into geniuses when it's really cold). I felt like someone had opened up the top of my... Continue Reading →
