To celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of my album The New Britton Sound, I'm having a big sale today on my Bandcamp site. Free downloads of both of my albums, plus discounts on the vinyl and CD versions. Happy Solstice!
Here's the link: Album Anniversary Sale

I realize it's been a while since I've had a show. Most of this year has been spent building up my studio and working on material for the third Great Lakes Myth Society album. I'm also writing and recording for some new solo projects and collaborations. It's been nice to stretch out a bit and work at my own pace, but I do miss being on stage. So thanks to the folks at Woodruff's, we've got a show on the calender. I'm looking forward to sharing the night with Skeleton Birds, The Walking Beat and The Redettes. Many thanks to Jenny Harley for the great poster.
Cheers!

The first week of March always means two things to me. The Tigers start Spring Training down in Lakeland, FL and the Metro Times Blowout takes over the bars of Hamtramck, MI. I wish I could attend the former, but I always attend the latter.
I'm so happy that TMSP was included in this year's Blowout lineup. It's always one of my favorite gigs of the year. I'm also excited to be doing a short solo set in Ann Arbor next week as part of WDET DJ and Acoustic Cafe host Rob Reinhart's new Essential Listening Party.
Next two shows:
After that, more writing, recording and taking the slow trajectory toward releasing new music.
Cheers!

I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. 2011 has been a gigantic year for my music and I'm grateful to all of you who have made it a success. I was able to release a new album, launch this website, start a blog, play a ton of shows and of course make a bunch of new friends in the process.
Many thanks to all of my hard working bandmates this year: John Fossum, Matt Collar, Scott DeRoche, Christian Anderson, Tony Drake, Arie Werbrouck, Chad Pratt, Matt Jones, Patrick Herek and Jamie Monger.
Thank you to my friends and fans who supported my music this year and in years past. I hope you'll stick around to see what's in store for 2012. Much of my creative focus will be shifting back to my work with Great Lakes Myth Society and we hope to have our third record finished in the coming year. I will continue to perform both solo and with State Park and will be recording more solo material soon.
Cheers!

Here is a link to my one and only Christmas song. Written and recorded in 2004. Enjoy!

I'll be doing two sets this Sunday at Old Town Tavern, just me and my guitar. This is one of my favorite gigs to play and I wish I could do it every Sunday. 8-10pm. Free. Good beer, good people.
Cheers!

My brother Jamie and I will be doing a rare Monger Brothers set on Saturday night on what should be the most eclectic bill of the month. Opening the show is Detroit phenom Duane the Teenage Weirdo and headlining are our good friends Starling Electric, rising from the grave to stage their wicked comeback. You may recognize Starling drummer John Fossum and guitarist Christian Anderson as former members of Timothy Monger State Park.
Saturday, November 12th
Woodruff's of Ypsilanti
Do it.

Many thanks to those of you who came out to see us play at The Ark last weekend. It was easily one of my favorite shows of 2011 and one of my favorite TMSP shows ever. Here's a photo from last Saturday courtesy of Cammila Albertson.
This Friday, October 21st, I'll be playing some songs on Martin Bandyke's morning radio show between 8 and 9am. We'll be broadcasting live from Zingerman's Next Door on Detroit St. in Ann Arbor. Tune in to 107.1FM or drop by for a coffee and see me play live.
October has been a busy month of gigs and rehearsals and we have one more big show before things start to slow down in November and December. We've been asked to open for my old friends Frontier Ruckus in their hometown of Lansing, MI on Saturday, October 29th. This show at The Loft will be a tour homecoming / Halloween blowout for the boys and according to bandleader Matt Millia, costumes are "firmly encouraged". That sounds like a veiled threat to me. Unless a brilliant costume idea comes to me in the next ten days, I'll probably have to trot out "slightly drunk Boy Scout" again for year #3.
I hope you're enjoying this lovely month. October is the best time of year.
Cheers!
