There's a Trick of the Light I'm Learning to Do

This is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded in January - March, 2020 while on sabbatical from ministry. They each deal with a different aspect or expression of the Gospel. Click on the image above to listen.

Three Hands Clapping

This is my latest recording project (released May 27, 2019). It is a double album of 22 songs, which very roughly track the story of my life... a sort of musical autobiography, so to speak. Click the album image to listen.

Ghost Notes

Ghost Notes
A collections of original songs I wrote in 2015, and recorded with the FreeWay Musical Collective. Click the album image to listen.

inversions

Recorded in 2014, these songs are sort of a chronicle of my journey through a pastoral burn-out last winter. They deal with themes of mental-health, spiritual burn-out and depression, but also with the inexorable presence of God in the midst of darkness. Click the album art to download.

"Bridges" is a collection of original songs I wrote in the summer of 2011, during a soul-searching trip I took out to Alberta; a sort of long twilight in the dark night of the soul. I share it here in hopes these musical reflections on my own spiritual journey might be an encouragement to others: the sun does rise, blood-red but beautiful.

Bridges: an online CD release party

A few weeks ago I officially "released" my latest music project, a rock album called "Bridges."  The CD is a collection of original songs that I wrote mostly this summer during my trip out to Alberta (there're also a few tunes on the disc I've had kicking around for a while that I finally got around to finishing).  The whole disc was recorded by myself in my basement with a total of about $200 worth of recording equipment, and, other than the first few chapters of Home Recording for Dummies, I have no formal training in sound engineering or audio production, so think "diamond in the rough" as you listen-- heck, I'd settle for "cubic zirconia in the rough."  My only goal is to share a bit of my spiritual journey in song and hope it's an encouragement to others. 

You can download the CD here:  [CD Download]

(PS: I tried to arrange the album as a bit of a journey from dark to light, so if you're going to give it a listen, I'd suggest beginning to end.)
