The Quick & Dirty EP Release!!!
Fall is here and the season of Scorpio is upon us! Although it’s getting colder and I’m usually not ready when that happens, this is my favorite season because I am a fall baby.

It was a great summer, but after seeing my band for the first time last week I realized that the summer was all about getting ready for Michigan and I hadn’t seen my boys in a while. I missed them.

I am back with the crew to get ready for the release of my album The Quick & Dirty EP on Friday, November 20th at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY. Yes it’s a Brooklyn thing people. The album was recorded in Brooklyn, live at Southpaw during Brooklyn Pride. There are also four bonus track on the EP! I am so proud to say that besides working on the project with my awesome band, the project features remixes by Ian Friday (Tea Party Music/Libation), Lionel Sanchez Jr. (Audioglyph Prodcutions) and Daz-I-Kue (I-Kue Productions/Bugz in the Attic). One of the bonus tracks will only be available on the hard copy, but I’m not going to tell you which one. So some of you digital babies might have to break down and actually buy a CD.

The night of the show my new favorite band, California King, is going to warm up the stage for me. DJ Ian Friday will be on wheels and there are more special guests to be announced. The show is on a Friday night so all my close out of town folks, take a half-day and come on through. I would love to see my people from Philly, MA and DC in the house! Maybe ATL too! Holla!
