Kitchen Musician

Hello friends,

Welcome to the special 12th anniversary edition of The Kitchen Musician. To celebrate, I am offering free download for all of my studio recordings (which now includes a long forgotten album I recorded in 1979), and I reflect on the last twelve years of writing and sharing music. I’ll meet you in the kitchen!

Hello friends,

In this issue of “The Kitchen Musician” I feature a tribute to my brother-in-law Rob Ayres, whom we lost suddenly and unexpectedly last month. Rob’s death has left a gaping hole in my universe. Among his many interests was music, and so I send him off with song. Come into the kitchen – I’ll share a new song of mine, and one of Rob’s.

Hello friends,

I dove into the rich treasure trove of Greek mythology for songwriting inspiration this month. Come into the kitchen and I will show you why Erebos, the god of darkness, plays an important role in my song of hope and encouragement!

Hello friends,

I am so fortunate to be involved with an active community of songwriters here in New England. So when I was invited to attend a birthday for one of them last month, it seemed appropriate to honor her with a new song. Please join me in the kitchen and I will share it with you.

Hello friends,

As we begin a new year, I announce the official release of “I’m Gonna Use My Hands”. I had so much fun recording this with Seth Connelly and ten wonderful children. These kids have convinced me that they are ready and able to make the world a better place, and they want you and me to join them. Let’s make this our new year’s resolution!

Hello friends,

Lots happening in the kitchen this month! Announcing the release of a new single, “Talkin’ Election”. I also brought my neglected banjo out for a sweet new spoken word piece about an old man and his banjo thanks to what I learned from In Home Music Lessons Philly service. Grab a “cuppa” and join me in the kitchen!
