Album Notes

"Eponymous" contains songs composed from 2002 through 2004. I recorded with producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Mark Towner Williams at his studio in gorgeous Midway, Utah. Mark's credits are long and impressive, and he was an invaluable part of this record, playing not only drums but also Hammond C3 organ, second guitars, bass, mandolin and even cornet. Mark and I started the process in late August ('04) with me and my Martin acoustic on a bar stool, jamming through about a dozen songs. Some initial takes were keepers, while other songs called for more layering and tweaking. We would hit it once or twice a week, about 3-5 hours at a time. It was a blast watching these songs take shape, and this is a record I'm very proud of.

A few track notes: THEREFORE - I had a profanity ban for the longest time - what happened??? UNTITLED's Emaj7 courtesy of Michael McManus!

I would like to thank the people of Salt Lake and Park City Utah for opening their hearts and making me feel welcome here. Without your support, this album probably would not have been made.
