I dunno about you, but my rainy Monday was super inspired, thanks entirely to the human person on my left in the photo above. 🙂

Go buy Mike Doughty‘s new record “The Heart Watches While The Brain Burns” right now!!! You will be so happy you did. If you don’t already listen to his music, start now. He has been, and continues to be, a huge influence on my own songs and writing. I love this rad dude!!!

My buddy Sheila Hamilton and I got to chat with Mike backstage before our Keep Oregon Well Concert Series session and we talked about music, mental health, what it means to be a public person in longterm recovery from drugs and alcohol, and more.

My band boys and I performed to a packed house and comedian Bri Pruett interviewed me and Gino Mari on the Late Night Action couch with Alex Falcone during our press tour. We got to chat about the olden days of the Portland music scene, my own colorful mental health journey and recovery, hot Cheetos, our new record and more.

Thanks to Gino Mari, Gil Assayas and Andrew Carreon for being the best band a man could wish for. I love sharing the stage with you. And thanks again to Alex Falcone for asking us to kick off Late Night Action’s final season at Mississippi Studios.
