Two years ago I was sad on New Year's Eve
So once I wrote this song about being drunk/sad on New Year’s Eve. Then I ate guacamole, played it for my friends and felt a little better. Now, two years later, it’s one of my favorite songs on the new album. I am not planning on being drunk and sad tonight, but I am setting the track for free/set your own price download all day/night on account of the holiday. Download...

Is whiskey your drink of choice? It seems like...
Wait, you may have hit the nail on the head here because I have been looking for my signature cocktail…When all along, I have had a natural affinity for whiskey right under my nose. I certainly enjoy whiskey. It only make sense. The only song I can think of is New Year’s Eve though…This is going to kill me. Where else? Ask me questions and I will answer them

garrettsucks asked: Hey! I'm a DIY musician and I've got a shitty little recording set up. Basically it consists of a mic, pop filter, m-audio and audacity. It's okay and I'm happy to have what I have, but after you mentioned doing some demos on your home set up, I was wondering if you had any tips to get the best possible recordings at home (on a small budge of course). Thanks! :D

jennyowenyoungs: Happy Holidays. Dan Romer and I wrote and recorded this sad little xmas song together a few years ago. Then I sang it into my MacBook from a hotel room somewhere in Europe (I think) a very long time ago.  Then I lost track of the video, then I found it again, and now I’m uploading it.  Whee! Snag the real recording of “Things We Don’t Need Anymore” here. I love this song a...

College Shows
Always rejuvenate my soul. Like, 100 people showed up to this little coffee house program and laughed at my jokes and knew the words to my songs. And seemingly  didn’t even think I was that awkward (sometimes I am inappropriately awkward at shows). Which is how you know it’s a good show. Success. It’s a lesson in “If at first you don’t succeed….” The...
