  • Solo Album: New Season

    This album is the culmination of several years of songwriting and recording. It is a sort of retrospective that explores the passing of time and seasons and how it affects us.

  • Live at the Underground

    In the fall of 2012, I played an acoustic show at the Underground on the Dakota State University campus, opening for the band, Amos Slade.

  • "Overcast" Project: Sketches

    My new project under the title "Overcast", features sparse ambient guitar in a series of aural "sketches" using reverb and delay effects.

    These first recordings in the series were created at the 2012 "Take the Day" arts event in Sioux Falls, where each artist produces a finished product over the course of a single day.
