Birth of Incredible Shrinking Boy

Wow, summer is flying by. Crazy but fun times indeed. This site is going to look quite a bit different soon, so keep your eyes on the lookout. Why is it being changed? Because I've come to realize I am no longer a singer/songwriter with a line up of musicians. We have become a dysfunctional yet healthy and excited family of bandmates. So yes, we are now Incredible Shrinking Boy. The site is being built. Same songs (and new ones soon), same vibe, same everything, except for the name. In music news, MOBfest was a ton of fun, the beach party show was starry and beautiful on Lake Michigan, and Elbo Room was a blast as usual. You'll be posted on show dates; plenty being booked at the moment. See ya soon and say hi whenever you feel like it. :-)

Broken Stools

So, Joe fell off his stool at our Fearless Radio interview...well, the stool broke, I heard a strange sound, and looked to my left - there he was tumbling to the floor in slow motion. Matt couldn't stop laughing, and I think Rocco, the host, may have been annoyed. Joe was embarassed for a day.

So, as I stare out the window at work - my final days at this job - it's muggy out and I'm almost positive it's going to down pour any minute. I've always been a fan of apocolyptic skies...what are good 'end of the world' albums?

Check out the shows section. Some cool gigs are coming up.
