  • Home Sweet Home

    There’s no place like home. And for different people, it turns out that home is somewhere different. New York City was awesome, but when I saw that Chicago skyline as our plane was landing, I automatically felt more relaxed. Calm. At ease.

    Life brings us huge changes all the time; and for me, at least one big one is approaching – maybe even two or three. One thing I can guarantee: Chicago will always be home.

  • New York City Here We Come

    If you think I’ve been MIA for the last three weeks, you’d be right. So where have I been and what have I been doing? Simple. I’ve been spending most of my time recording at the Dragon Room (the name I gave to where I do most of my producing). The result? Eight new songs for a new record with a little side-project that I have called Restoration Project. I haven’t tallied up all of the hours I’ve spent on it in the last three weeks because, frankly, it doesn’t really matter. I knew from the start that I’d spend as much time on it as it would take. The album comes out April 10th, and you all should come to the release party. Get the details HERE. So there you have it. It’s time for a vacation. I leave for NYC with my wife and son tomorrow morning.
