Two albums:“Resilience” with DeVé & “Vita Brevis” with Marco Iacobini I am extremely pleased to officially announce that we are concurrently in production of two albums that should both see the proverbial light of day in 2027.

Looking Back On March 16th I posted “I hit 2.3K monthly listeners on Pandora a few days ago and now it’s begun to subside a bit. I’m fairly certain this will be the peak for the year; I’d love to be wrong about that.” I was right, however, and it was indeed the high point …
