Honorable Mention in Houston
I’m very grateful to the festival organizers and judges for selecting “Bird on a Wire” for an Honorable Mention at this year’s REELpoetry Festival in Houston, with screenings ocurring online and at the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston (MATCH).
I’m even more grateful that a portion of all ticket sales will go to Poems Not Bombs, an organization in Ukraine dedicated to providing a creative space for children displaced by the war.
“Eating” for the Win
Thanks to the ISC for the gear – and for naming “Eating in My Car Again” a 2025 Music Video Promotion winner. Woohoo.
Thanks also to the awesome crew who worked on the project.
Time to make another video!!!
Review: Mesmerized
Thanks to Mesmerized for sharing some cool observations about the album. Like this…
“Roensch builds something that moves unpredictably but still makes sense once you sit with it. It’s an album that invites you to linger a bit, the same way you might in a place where the night stretches longer than you planned.”
“Eating” in Phoenix
Super-huge thanks to the fine folks at the Phoenix Film Festival for selecting “Eating in My Car Again” for their festival in Scottsdale (April 9 – 19, 2026).
Featuring Keith Larson as “The Driver,” this video was created by Nico Sotomayor. Many thanks to Keith and Nico and everyone else who played a role in making this fun music video.
“Eating in My Car Again” is a featured tune on my new album “Down at the Polystereophonic Dive Bar,” coming out on March 24, 2026.
Morning Dew (cover)
“Morning Dew” – Performed by Greg Roensch and Jules Leyhe as a tribute to Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead. Thank you for the music.
This anti-nuclear war song was written and originally recorded by Bonnie Dobson. It was subsquently recorded by the Grateful Dead and included on their debut album.
At the Balboa
Thanks to the fine folks at the Another Hole in the Head film festival for showing “Bird on a Wire” on Day 1 of the festival at the Balboa Theatre in San Francisco.
The art and the music all worked great on the big screen. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this short film to life.

E Is for What???
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!
