HAPPY RELEASE DAY.
When I was a kid all I ever wanted was to be in a band. My road in music led me away from being the artist and into an incredible career of helping others realize their musical dream….and in that pursuit I found my true calling - being in the studio. But as a guy in his mid 40’s I’m here to tell you, never give up on your dreams. Today is release day for “Another Door” with my band and , an album we’ve spent the last two years making at . And now we’re on the road promoting and playing the songs live…. It’s truly surreal.
I firmly believe if you follow your passion with open hands then you’ll be surprised along the way. Thank you to for surprising me with the opportunity to live out a childhood dream. Thank you to my band mates for always striving to reach new heights. And thank you to The Divine for opening “Another Door”. ❤️
“Time moved on, I was a traveler
Searching all the world for more
As my dreams were all unraveling
There I found Another Door”

New song out with my boy @bonesowens. Really proud of this one. Turn it up and go see him out on the road, he’s got a lot of shows coming up this year. 🤘🏼 Produced and mixed by @paulmoak at #thesmoakstack #Repost @bonesowens with @make_repost ・・・ ‘Mama’ available now wherever you listen to music ✌🏼🖤 📷: @robbysphotos
When @goodbyejune and I set out to make this record we all agreed there would be zero compromise. No settling or using technology to fix mistakes. The record was recorded analog to 2” tape and mixed down to 1/2” tape. All the performances are real, all the vocals and solos were hard fought. This band worked hard and kept it honest. The result is what you hear. I am so proud of this record. GJ, thank you for letting me so far into your world. Thank you for going the distance. If anyone out there loves great rock and roll please give this a listen. Cheers #Repost @goodbyejune with @make_repost ・・・ OUT NOW! The wait is finally over. Our brand new record ‘See Where The Night Goes’ is available wherever you get your music (link in bio). @earacherecords #thesmoakstack
Been walking the long road with these boys for just shy of a decade. This album means more to me than some others because it’s taken 10 years to get it right. Doesn’t matter if it sells 1 copy, the fact that it’s coming out next week is success. #Repost @goodbyejune with @make_repost ・・・ Working in the studio with the great @paulmoak Watch the full documentary and preorder the new album ‘See Where The Night Goes’ (link in bio)
Recently I was a guest on the show “Selling Nashville” on the CW. It’s hosted by my longtime friend @andyhuntrealtor with Nashville On The Move. I was interviewed about #thesmoakstack in Berry Hill and a little about how we make records. Check it out! Thanks andy!!! #Repost @andyhuntrealtor with @make_repost ・・・ Loved hanging with Paul and filming this episode. He's hands down one of the nicest, most humble, and talented guys around and I'm so grateful to know him. He makes everyone he meets feel incredibly special and takes the time to get to know them. Loves the Lord. Loves his family. Loves his people. Loves to rock on nearly every instrument out there. I knew when I started this show I would want to do an episode with him. Thanks, Moak, for letting us in to your space for a bit. Now go win a Grammy!

When I was a teenager music found me in the form of an electric guitar. That feeling is the high I’ve been chasing my whole career. If you wanna know what it feels like just watch this. Still a teenager in my heart. Thank you @annwilson for reminding me what this whole thing is about. And to the best band I’ve ever been in, @tbonelucido @seantlane #tombukovac. See you all soon.
