“Apothecary” is a year and almost a month old and I appreciate everybody who’s been streaming it recently. Share it with your friends and head to my website for a physical copy!

Special guest appearance by a book I’m reading for no particular reason.
Got a new batch of QR code stickers from the beautiful people at @stickerjunkie.bsky.social. These are perfect for venue bathroom walls and the occasional lamppost. They’re also much nicer than the ones I used to get from a problematic hot sauce company.

10/7 @ 12pm: Studio A Cafe at WNIJ in Dekalb, IL (to be there live register at northernpublicradio.org/studioacafe)

Song: “January”

This song is not remotely explicit, and I'm far from puritanical, but I was hesitant to sing it live, let alone record it, because I felt like nobody would want to hear me of all people sing a song that references sex even in a roundabout way.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.
9/24: Opening for Gina Marie & The Golden Bucks at Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights, IL. 7:30 set. Tickets available on the Hey Nonny site or via the link on my website.
9/20: Guitar-slinging for my buddy Aaron Kelly at the Vintage Illinois Win Festival in North Utica, IL. 4:30 set. Tix on the festival website.
I won’t be laying low over the next 7 days. I’ll be too busy doing cool stuff with some of my impossibly talented friends.
