Yo Magpies,
As that wise Bad Bunny reminded the world:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Lo único más poderoso que el odio es el amor”
Hold that thought as we navigate the next few months of wild, global change.
🩷 Love and caring, kindness and connection are our special powers.

On February 14, 2004 , we went into Wally Sound to record the first few tunes for our debut album “Crazed and Enthused”.
We had no idea what would come of it.
And here we are. 😉
Speaking of love,
🩷 I love all the wonderful musicians I have had the joy of playing with over these years. I’m talking close to 30 talented players. All have added their unique magic to the project.
🩷 I love all the wonderful fans who have been with us on this musical adventure.
🩷 I love having the chance to write, produce and perform music.
