Last night everyone who came through the door at Red Cap Garage did their part to help keep the doors to the Portland Q Center open while they had their drinks and danced the night away. The lovely folks at Red Cap do a recurring event called “Red Cap Cares” where a charity of their choice gets 100% of the proceeds from the door. Last night the charity was my fundraiser for the Q Center and I honestly couldn’t feel more appreciative if I tried. It’s so nice to know that “Red Cap Cares” isn’t just a slogan to get people in the door. They actually really DO care.

Thanks so much, guys! I’ve said it elsewhere and I’ll say it again here: What you do for the community is really something. I’m really touched and Love Love LOVE Red Cap Garage.

So: Everybody go there, eat a burger, have some drinks…and know that you’re supporting a business that, in turn, is actually working to make a difference for good in the city around you.

So…I was on my way home last night and my song came on the radio. Evidently OPB Music picked up on my new single “Velocity” themselves and put it into rotation this weekend. It was unexpected (since this new record has no label backing, no radio servicing, and no budget behind it) but felt really cool that they were into it. Ummm…RAD.

You can check it out on their site HERE. Start requesting that your local indie rock radio stations play it and they will! You can download the “Velocity” MP3 for free HERE.

Make it yours. Pass it around. There are no rules this time.
