iTunes EXCLUSIVE song / iTunes SALE
Hi,
My entire music catalog (when did that happen by the way?) is on SALE on iTunes for a limited time; All three full-lengths are $6.99 and my two EPs are $2.49. I also recently did a cover of Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” and it’s exclusively available on iTunes. But, it’s expensive ($.99). The sale will run through the end of my tour with Sara Bareilles. (You...

I wrote the majority of the songs for “Take a Bow” while I was in the studio, so early demos of the songs had a way of just being added to until they became final versions. Well, the other day I thought to myself, “I think it’s okay to wear shorts with a sport coat. I mean, I don’t see it that often, but I think I could do it.” And then a few hours later when...
Hermosa Beach / Visalia / Seattle
Years ago, seemingly another lifetime now, I was a traveling salesman; the details of which have spun me through more than a few digressions which I have typed out and since erased in the interest of brevity. I digress. One of my ‘territories’ was Visalia, California. And here I am, years later, on a plane flying to California to play a few shows before Bumbershoot in Seattle and one...

Take Everything / My NEW Single
“Hooo ooor mnayeem maurf gni thear vleh guess nada owoogh.”
That’s the chorus of “Take Everything,” the first single from my new album, “Take a Bow” (out May 4th), spelled out phonetically, the way that I had to sing it for the music video. Clearly I didn’t think about how difficult it was going to be to learn my entire song backwards when I...

My 2010 Winter
I’m nearly at the end of my solo-residency shows and I wanted to thank those of you who have been a part of it. It had been a long, long while since I played full shows completely on my own and it was nice to be able to share the songs as they exist the moment I finish writing them; before all the bells and whistles. It was also nice to be able to come out after each show and say hello to...

Hello/ The Solo Residency / iPhone App/ Take A Bow
Hi,
It just flipped to 2010 and so far I have done absolutely nothing outside of catching up on movies, eating new york bagels and completing “The Life Strategies Workbook,” by Dr. Phil (just kidding, I haven’t had any bagels). It is, however, time to get back to “work”and a lot of exciting things are around the corner.
The Solo Residency Starting February 3rd I...

I’m in the air on my way to Dallas. I could feel I was being studied by the lady next to me since we took off. After our orange juices arrived, she finally asked, “Are you someone my daughter might know?” She picked up on my initial confusion and added, “She is really into music and I saw your guitar when you boarded.” I took a sip of my Minute-Maid, looked up at...

an oldie but a goodie
just stumbled on something i did years ago… i am “proudshep” below. back-story is that i was sick for several days and got bored so decided to fool around with people on the internet, namely, dog-training forums, because they are very serious. i used to get more comments about this after shows than my songs…… hope you enjoy them. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...
take a bow
take a bow
you play your heart out
take your time with working the rest out
and try and stay out of your head
i’ve seen you invent the damnedest things there
don’t lean back, my friend
there’s not much there to hold you up
use your stride
slow
and pick it up over time
and stay out of your head
i’ve seen you invent the damnedest things there
