Dear friends,

I am so incredibly excited to announce my new single, ‘Make a Fuss’!!!

I wrote this song for a girl I was completely infatuated with on a sunny day in Venice Beach, California, and ended up recording it with a rock-and-roll legend, Peter Buck from R.E.M. in Seattle, Washington. It’s a small and magical world, connected by music.

The rest of the amazing musical crew on this single is Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., Robyn Hitchcock), Paul Fox (Producer: Bjork, Wallflowers, 10,000 Maniacs), and Bill Rieflin (R.E.M., Ministry, KMFDM):

We have some more songs recorded and we’re excited to finish the rest of the record (with even more legendary musical guests), but in the meantime, let me present to you, ‘Make a Fuss’ (available on iTunes):

Dear lovers of music, there is a delight for me in knowing that every Wednesday at the Stepping Stone in Ballard I can hang out all evening and play some tunes and share the stage with my favourite Seattle singer-songwriters. I hand pick every artist that plays on these Wednesdays and I personally guarantee their quality.
