On the Big Screen

Super fun to see my short animated film “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” on the big screen at the 4 Star Theatre… thanks to Another Hole in the Head Film Festival for the fun event and Q&A session.

After seeing so many movie theaters shut down over the years, it’s wonderful to see the 4 Star back in business.

If you missed it on the big screen… Another Hole in the Head Film Festival 2022 plays online until Dec 18. You can watch “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” as part of the Strictly Local 3 group of films.

On the Radio

Thanks to The Lost Church radio for playing a couple of my songs yesterday.

It was pretty amazing to hear my tunes among all the great songs being played.

I look forward to the day The Lost Church opens their new space in North Beach. Who knows. Maybe I’ll play a gig there???

Happy Year of the Tiger … Mask

Happy Year of the Tiger. And happy Year of the Tiger Mask while I’m at it.

Click on the image below to hear a song called “Notorious,” inspired by the Hitchcock movie of the same name. The tune appears on my “Year of the Tiger Mask” EP, recorded in 2020 at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco.

“Chernobyl” Hits the Road

People around the world are checking out my “Chernobyl” animated music video. It’s even earned a few laurels along the way, including in Rome, London, Prague, Munich, India, and Slovakia. I wonder where it’ll blow up next. Haven’t seen the video yet? Put on your hazmat suit and watch it here (password = blast).

Music Video Winner !!!

I’m happy to announce that “Chernobyl” has been named winner of the Music Video category in May from Cult Critic Movie Awards in Kolkata, India.

Haven’t seen my short film yet? You can watch it here (password = blast).


“Chernobyl” was inspired by my travels in Europe in 1986. I was visiting a distant relative in Hamburg at the time. Though we were 800 miles away, I remember the fear as we watched the weather patterns on the news (are those clouds coming from the reactor?) and avoided fresh produce that might have been tainted by the blast. Hard to imagine it’s now a tourist attraction.

Year of the Tiger Mask

On the day before Tiny Telephone San Francisco closed forever, I scrambled into the studio to record six songs with guitarist extraordinaire Jules Leyhe. When looking back, I’ll always be thankful that I got one last recording day in this amazing space. And, with the session taking place during the days of COVID, I’m glad to say we all wore masks.

Listen to the mini-album now for FREE on BandCamp.

Recorded at Tiny Telephone San Francisco on July 13, 2020.
