So this is the new year…

Posted on January 2, 2010, 5:26 pm, by doug.

2010 has arrived and I have some big plans…

First and foremost, in the coming months I’ll be heading back to Boston to record an EP or possibly my first full-length album. We’ll see how the timing works out. I’ll be working with some of my closest friends and favorite musicians. Needless to say I’m pretty stoked.

My resolution for 2010 is to play out more. Much more. Check back soon as I fill up my calendar with dates in the New York, New Jersey and Boston areas. I’m looking forward to getting back into gigging regularly.

Last but certainly not least, I believe 2010 will be the year a public figure is adopted by an alien race and made king. My guess is Oprah. She’s really the only logical choice aside from Mel Gibson.

Happy New Year.

Well now your back is gonna hurt…

So I’ve settled in Clifton, NJ for the time being while I seek further employment and really get the ball rolling.  I am excited to announce however that I have taken an internship with Goodnight Records.  David and the rest of the Goodnight team seem really awesome and I’m quite stoked to be on board with them.

I’m also excited to announce that I have set in motion the early beginnings of my debut EP.  Most likely I’ll be recording in Boston and hopefully have it ready to launch in early to mid March.  I don’t have a name for the EP just yet and the track list is constantly being juggled around.  So, when I know more I’ll be sure to let you all know more.

I’ll hopefully have a string of New York City and New Jersey gigs lined up soon and I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Work, work, work…

So I’ve been working like a madman at GameStop for the last couple months and I am stoked to say that Friday is my last day. Getting out of retail just before the holidays is probably one of the greatest ideas I have had in recent memory.

My last post eluded to some big news being on it’s way. Well the news has arrived and here it is…I’m picking up and moving to New York City. The last month or so has been spent looking for some day jobs so I can really focus on writing and performing. I have a few new song that I feel pretty good about, one entitled “Darling St.” and the other is yet to be named. I’m anxious to be in the city already and this is certainly the right move.

I’ll see you soon NYC.

Somewhere, someone is hiding in a treehouse…

Posted on September 28, 2009, 10:30 am, by doug.

Lately I’ve managed to get the creative juices flowing and hopefully I will have some demos tracked by the end of next week. It’s actually been a while since I wrote something I was pleased wih but I feel I’m movig in the right direction here. By that of course I mean I have two new songs one about cheese and the other about playing cricket in December.

I’m going to take in the DC United game this weekend which should be a blast. A much needed day off from the grind of pulling double shifts between two jobs. Hopefully I won’t have to do that for much longer.

On a more mysterious note I may have some potentially HUGE news in the next few weeks, so I will le you all know when I know more.

Be easy.

It’s about time…

Posted on September 11, 2009, 1:20 pm, by doug.

I thought the internet was a living breathing thing at this point that could read my mind and automatically update this site.  I suppose I was wrong.  So now I am here to take care of it myself.  Some pretty big news…

I have graduated from the Berklee College of Music and officially have a degree in Music Business and Management.  I had a successful internship abroad this summer with a wonderful company in London called Peer Group.  I worked with some really great bands and the two guys I worked with were pretty awesome.  It is strange to be back in Frederick and not going back to Boston, but onto the more important stuff.

I have an EP in the works and a tour is being lined up in support.  I’m hoping to be ready to hit the road by the first of the year with the EP finished and ready to go.  The EP is yet to be named but will most likely have three tracks and will definitely be released on Blue Cardigan Records.

I’m going to start updating this site much more often and hopefully be announcing some shows in the Baltimore/DC area in the very near future.  Until then I leave you with this masterpiece by Max Lollar here.
