Wow, it's been a crazy few months.
For those who don't know, an apartment fire on Riverside Drive claimed everything to my name several months ago, including all of my instruments, gear, recordings, and in-progress tunes. Ouch.
Arin and I made it out safe, as did the other 30 residents, but what used to be our home was reduced to a steamy pile of ash. The response of our insurance companies have been incredibly dodgy, even criminal. Good thing I believe in karma.
Honestly, it's been a tough few months and getting back into the music scene as well as the gigs I had to back out of without a guitar, sax, PA, etc., both literally and emotionally. BUT, thanks to the incredible support from the Red Cross and our families and friends we are well on our way to recovery. Thank you so much to everyone who offered anything they could in the past few months. Without you, I would have gone completely bonkers.
We have a new place, I have been able to replace some gear, and I'm once again playing shows and doing my best to unleash my inner demons with the power of my pen. It's only a matter of time until everything comes out through the new tunes I will undoubtedly write in the aftermath.
