Albums

New song out today - I think this one may be my favorite from my new album coming out in a couple months.

Some years back I had written the song "Pascal's Triangle"about my first daughter Bridget’s birth and becoming a father for the first time, and I had also named my album Before The Bridge after her. So I've known for a while that I needed to write something good for my younger daughter Keira. I had tried to force some songs before, but they never turned out well. I'm not the sort of writer that can really set out saying “I'm going to write about (blank) today.” It has to be sort of a natural, stream of consciousness kind of thing. But when I was writing this new album I found myself all of sudden telling the story of her birth, which was initially pretty frightening.

Immediately out of the womb, she was breathing in this shallow, almost hyperventilating way. The nurses whisked Keira and me out of the delivery room and into a side room to put her on a CPAP machine. Nothing seemed to be helping her, and the hospital was preparing a bed for her in the intensive care unit. And I was told neither my wife or I would be able to see her for at least a couple days. I was terrified for her and couldn't stomach the idea of having to go back to the delivery room empty handed. But after almost a half an hour, right as the nurse was going to shut off the CPAP machine, Keira took a deep breath, and then another, and another. And they handed her to me and I brought her back to her mom. So the song is about that experience, and the appreciation I have now for each and every one of her breaths – even as she’s using that breath to yell at me about how she actually didn't want black pepper on the scrambled eggs I just cooked for her- ...

Had a great talk with @glidemag about my new song "First of Spring (Keira's Song)" coming out this Friday 10.27 -- you can read about it and watch the music video on their site now °°link in bio°° ...

New song "Rolling Over Me" is OUT NOW - It's the third single from my upcoming seventh studio album "Signal Fire" out January 19th.

The 13 track album was recorded live over 3 days in Los Angeles during a strange hellacious Southern California rainstorm. I'm incredibly happy to be releasing one of my favorite tracks today and can't wait for you to hear the full album in just a few months-
