I'm releasing my first official solo recording this month.  You'll be able to purchase the digital download later this month....but first, we're debuting a video for So Long City at The Ranger Station (SE Hawthorne Blvd and 43rd) on April 10 at 7:30pm.  Although it's a little strange to be excited about  it - the song was inspired by the destruction and rapid rebuilding and growth of my hometown, which has been breaking my heart - the song and accompanying video are beautiful in their own sad ways and I'm looking forward to sharing them. 

Greg Odell (The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers) and my wife, Susan Kearns (The Cool Whips), backed me on drums and upright bass respectively.  David Ricardo (The Zags, The Cool Whips) helped engineer.  And Joshua James shot and edited the video.  I think it's stunning.  Here's a little preview.

The headline says it all.  Check it out here.  I'm happy to say Ryan Northrop of Sons of Huns is doing much better than at the time this article was published.
