We’ve done some rearranging in the live room—
Well, despite this year we were still able to make some music! Here's a little visual grid of the albums and singles that were released in 2020.

Friends:
Now that the dust has settled following the release of my new album 'Into The Open', I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks and gratitude...
Thank you to my family and friends for your endless support and encouragement! This record is such a highlight for me on my musical journey and I'm truly grateful.
A resounding thanks to Jason Phelps for his many contributions in and out of the studio. Your guidance was invaluable!
I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with such awe-inspiring musicians on this record (Ellie Begin, Jason Phelps, Pete Morse, Janice O'rourke)! Your personal touches elevated the music in ways I never imagined and I sincerely appreciate your involvement!
Lastly and most importantly, thank you to my Mom and Dad for without you, none of this would be possible! Peace & Love...

Three new tracks coming your way on 12/18/2020!
Seeking shelter from the burning sh*t-tornado that is 2020 we dug our heals in and clenched tightly to our alt-rock and pop-punk roots.
For this project we shrank down from 10 members to just four, given obvious circumstances. Our hearts go out to those missing the people's horn section and back-up singers. We miss them too, dearly. Some day, guys!!
What we were left with is the original trio: Jed Bresette, Myles Simcock and John Kennedy. Mark Dumond was brave enough to join us in the studio and grace us with his talents behind the keys.
A huge thanks to Todd at Acadia Recording Company for providing a safe, professional place to play and of course for the sweet, heavy mix. And thank you, Pat Keane at Pat Keane Mastering!

Hi community. As many of you know Bandcamp is waiving their fees today which means any music you purchase from musicians today supports them fully. If you have some extra financial resources to keep your community afloat, this is a good way to leverage those. We've attached a handy photo of bands you can support this way. Please take care of each other and practice physical distancing, but social support.
Check out this great version of Pachelbel's Canon recorded here at Acadia :)
