What happens when your childhood dream kind of comes true?
I’ve spent the last 20 years writing songs, recording albums, playing shows, licensing music for film and TV, and somehow paying the bills doing what I love.
But this isn’t a fame story. (If you’ve ever tried to drop my name, you’ve likely gotten crickets.) Instead, it’s a quiet grit sort of story.
A figure-it-out-as-you-go story.
A how-is-this-still working? story.
An IS-this-still-working? story.
You get the picture.
I hope it’s also entertaining and educational.
I think this is a book for anyone trying to make art while raising a family.
Anyone chasing dreams without losing themselves.
Anyone wondering how to build a music career that doesn’t require going viral.
Anyone who’s been to one of my shows and thought, “Wait, does this guy need therapy?” (Spoiler: yes.)
Here’s a mock up of what the final result might look like:
Yes, it’s a pink (my wife said there’s not enough pink books in the world).
