See you soon!

Kumbaya Supernova – Lyrics
Kumbaya Supernova
My heroes have always been space cowboys
Gravity could not hold them in
So you radio “Are your ghosts there on the moon?”
I look out the porthole and see a whole platoon
Then I hitch a ride from the dark side of my mind
I’ve got to go too far too fast so I can slow down time
I can sing campfire songs, ‘Kumbaya Supernova’
You know the words so grab your shades, lock in and beam on over
Reserve a table for one at the end of the Universe
The view is clear to the event horizon, but I can still reverse
“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”
“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”
“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”
Pre-Order/Help Fund My New EP, ‘Welcome’
Dear Friends,
I am very excited to announce the upcoming release of my new EP, ‘Welcome’, all of the songs are recorded and ready to go, the only step remaining is to get the CDs printed up and shipped out to you.
I recorded these songs in Seattle with Peter Buck, Bill Rieflin, and Scott McCaughey from R.E.M. and I think you’ll dig them. You can pre-order your copy here:
The link above is also a fundraising link to pay for the cost of printing the CDs. There are some options to give a little more $$ to help me finish this project if you want. A lot of folks assume I am signed to a label etc., but I do it all on my own. Well, not exactly on my own, ALSO with the help of folks like you!
We’ll ship the CDs out in June. Typing that last sentence gave me goosebumps, I’m very excited!
Thank you for supporting independent music!
Love,
SJ
PS. This will be a limited edition run of around 1000 discs, pre-orders will be shipped but then most copies will be sold directly at shows. Order yours now!
Memorial Day Rain City Rock Concert
Dear friends in the Seattle area, we’re performing at the Rain City Rock Concert at the Nectar Lounge on Memorial Day, May 26th!
It will be a great night of live music, and the proceeds go to benefit a local college honor society scholarship. The Nectar Lounge has a cool outdoor patio with a full view of the stage, perfect for live music on Memorial Day!
See you there!
Best,
SJ

Happy Spring!
I know this is a few days late, but really, it’s alway a good time to be happy about Spring!
I just got back from Portland, Oregon, a couple of days ago but not before I saw some new flowers enjoying the sunshine:
I had a great show at Shonna’s Poker and Pub with BJ and we met a bunch of lovely people and had a fun jam at the end with some musicians in the audience. I can’t wait to get back soon!
Love,
SJ
PS. I’ll be busy this Spring with a bunch of live shows, check the schedule and let’s hang out!:
