Current Projects (Spring 2019):

Due to the studio activity of the last few years - engineering, mixing, producing, etc., it may seem like the emphasis is on re-issues, but there is a new solo album in the works - likely 2020. New songs will also appear on various collaborations in 2019.  I am the archivist for the band America - with the 50th Anniversary underway, the focus is mainly in that area for the present.
