Greetings. I am a musician, author, and artist-in-general publishing updates on my work, short essays, theocentric taste-tests, and general word wrangling.
This is a multi-functioning, free newsletter—no paywall.
Why you want to be here: It’s where my current music, books, art, and podcasts are first introduced. It’s the news. Secondly, as a writer, it is where I regularly write! Nowhere else, only here. If you’re interested in my cultural analysis and apologetics, opinion and stories—this is where I create, share, and connect with you via writing—and you with me. Though I’m known primarily as a musician, I like to remind folks that my first paying gig was earning $5 from the Bogue Women’s Club Essay Contest, 1970. Legit.
My latest book is a memoir, Roots & Rhythm: A Life in Music.
As well as, Why Everything That Doesn’t Matter, Matters So Much, a collab with my wife, writer Andi Ashworth.
Music is avail everywhere, including Spotify, and Apple. Vinyl and CDs available at UTR Media.
