Wrote about the new memoir from Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman for Performer Magazine. Check out the review here and then dust off your Black Crowes albums to remember what a killer band they were.




I interviewed guitarist extraordinaire Yvette Young for Performer Magazine, which you can check out here.

As a guitar-strummer and rudimentary soloist, watching what Yvette is able to do with a guitar is pretty mind-blowing to me. That she's as humble and good humored about her incredible skills is all the better.

Check out Yvette in action!




I wrote about Jeff Tweedy's new memoir for Peformer Magazine - check it out here!

Super excited to see Jeff in Dallas in early March. I've been to a few Wilco shows, saw The Autumn Defense (John Sirratt and Pat Sansone's side gig) at the Basement in Nashville a few years back, and now Jeff Tweedy solo. All I need is to check out The Nels Cline 4 and one of Glenn Kotche's projects to round out my complete Wilco fanverse.

Also have to post this video, which Jeff mentions in the book with the following quote:

 

 

Indeed.

I write books, songs, and this bio! Likely to be crushed by my TBR pile.
