*New Music Alert*

Hey music-lover friends and family! It's been exactly one year since I released "MOUTH OPEN WIDE", and I've been sitting on this one for way too long...but I think it goes perfectly well with putting an end to this incredibly bad year. It's a song about unity and hope...and I'm honored to have some very special guest friends on it.

TOPHER NOLEN (John Corabi Band, Devil City Angels) on bass guitar, ANDEE BLACKSUGAR (KMFDM, Peter Murphy, Black Sugar Transmission) on lead guitar, and my wife LISA KARKOS helped me with backing vocals...and I absolutely love what they've added.

The song is titled, "UNDIVIDED" and it's releasing Friday, Jan 1st 2021...so keep your ears peeled.

Be safe everyone and thank you in advance! 🙂

D.A sings Billie Jean

I was living in New York City when I first heard Chris Cornell cover Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". I thought it was brilliant that he turned this great upbeat pop song into a slow haunting waltz. I love how It became all about the lyrics. And when I first heard it, I immediately wanted to hear it without the "rock band" production and stripped way down to almost nothing. So on August 9th, 2009, I recorded it with this beat up ovation that had really dead strings. After I sang it, I added some harmonies to make it more eventful. I hope you enjoy it...and if you do, feel free to comment below and/or share it with your friends.

thanks for listening...

-D.A.
