I wrote this song for my son, Franklin. He loves musical instruments of all kinds; guitars, piano/keyboards, drums (especially drums!), ukulele, harmonica, kalimba… he hasn’t met a musical instrument he didn’t like. So I took some of his earliest musical instrument toys that he would play with regularly and I incorporated them into the production of this song.

I was listening to the 90s channel on Sirius Radio a couple weeks ago while I was shooting pool. This tune, Mouth, by Merril Bainbridge came on and I just started

4th Annual Father's Day edition of Home Jam Sessions!  Daddio picked Let It Be Me by the Everly Brothers this year.  Hillary was around too, so she makes an appearance on vocals.  Enjoy it, and share it!

It has been quite a while since the last Home Jam Session video.  Kicking off 2018 with a fun 90's pop tune, Casanova.  Whenever I can, I like to...

Recording one of these songs for the home jam sessions series with my dad has become a bit of a tradition.  For the third annual father's day home sessions video, my dad and I covered Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You".

I've had the pleasure of recording a few times with my friend, Marie Hopperstad, but this is the first time we've produced a video.  I always love jamming with her because her voice is just so damned good.  

The song was her choice, and she nailed it.  Even though she gave me four days to learn how to play the tune, I didn't learn it until we were sitting in the studio (I'm a chronic procrastinator).  It did take a few tries, so I think this is the third or fourth full take.  

My sister Hillary and I recorded this Sheryl Crow cover several years ago, and I stumbled across it today when going through my iTunes.  Wanted to share.  Hillary rocked the vocals, I played all the instruments.  Brent did all the engineering.  I just threw it into Logic Pro to juice up the output a little bit.  Hope ya like it!

This was a particularly fun video to record and edit.  Shot a few different takes with different camera angles, and even included some footage that James Joel took from his treacherous ride home after the shoot.  

This was recorded live with three acoustic guitars on an iPhone on New Years Eve with Brent and Matt.  Please share it if you like it!

What has now become a tradition, my Dad and I record a tune for the home jam sessions videos on Father's Day.  The last one was a success with a couple hundred views.  This one I think is even better because it is an original song called If I Knew You Then, written for my stepmother Diane.
