The Transient Sessions is a way for me to share with you a little something of myself in-between the shows in the most potent and honest form of communication I know: Music.

The Transient Sessions: Indianapolis, IN - Promised Land
December 30, 2021 18:16 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBPromised Land is a song from the 2017 release "But I've Seen The Stars". I am not sure when I wrote this one exactly but it had to have fallen sometime between 2013 - 2015, which is now a long time ago and that ... blows my mind. With almost every song I write there are parallel narratives. The first being the story taken at face value. In this case, there is a man talking about a place called the promised land; a frictionless place of freedom and affirmation. In my music, as in life, there ...
The Transient Sessions: Indianapolis, IN - I Won't Back Down
December 03, 2021 15:13My latest Transient Session is Tom Petty's "I won't Back Down" filmed in Indianapolis, IN. I wanted to release this song next since it's the first video after my battle with respiratory failure... (For those of you who do not follow me one social media, I was in the ICU in October) However, in light of the recent tragic news from Waukesha WI, I wanted to share this for the victims, their families and the community in mind. God Bless you all and please love one another.

The Transient Sessions: Madrid, Spain - Boots of Spanish Leather
September 23, 2021 04:09 - 23 minutes - 31.8 MBI first encountered this Bob Dylan song when I was 10 years old. I remember instantly losing myself in the song's narrative and feeling a sense of companionship and peace. The dialogue between the two characters, on paper, couldn’t be further away from my lived experience at that time. Despite that reality, I was still able to connect with the song completely and be served by it. I think it has to do with the overall thematic concept. The protagonist loves unconditionally and sacrificially w...
The Transient Sessions: New York City - "Against The Grain"
September 16, 2021 04:56 - 13 minutes - 18.2 MBAgainst The Grain is a new song and has yet to be “officially” released. The recorded version for the album is actually a bit different than what I do here. One evening in NYC, I was waiting to take the stage and had no idea what I should start with. It needed to be a song I connected with personally but also upbeat enough to properly meet the listeners where they were at. Typically, an audience is more riled up at the top of a show having just come in from their busy lives. The lead of...
The Transient Sessions: New York City - "The Boxer"
September 09, 2021 04:07 - 20 minutes - 27.7 MBThis song has a special place in my heart. When I was younger, my parents would often play music in the house. As a result, I have always associated specific songs with my parents. One evening, while listening to music with my father, "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel came on. Something in him changed. Up to that moment the music had served as a background, but when this song came on, his face lit up and he seemed to have entered in. It was as if the music expressed something he was feeling...
