HEY, I WON! for the 4th time in 5 years, I was voted “Best Solo Artist” (previously “Best Acoustic Artist”) in the Pittsburgh City Paper Poll. You have to scroll down to find my name. BIG THANKS to everyone who voted for me—this is a very helpful thing, when trying to get shows at new places, and talking to people who have never heard of me.

My 11 new songs for 2007 are: Icicles, Home Team, Sure, I Will Only Let You Down, ee cummings, Leave Like This, Java 13, When I’m Not Around, Thank You (When You Say Goodbye), Something Good, First Mistake.

You can download demos of some of the best of’em, featuring Jason Rafalak on mandolin/bass: Something Good, ee cummings (words by E.E.), Leave Like This (for Lee), When I’m Not Around, and Java 13 (a non-winning song contest entry :] .)
