Hello Friends,

Happy April! Things have been going well for the Featured Players and I. We’re still experimenting with our overall “sound” or what ever and we’ve had a new member join our ranks. Ladies and Gentlemen, met me introduce to you the wonderfully talented Amanda Ake. She made her stage debut with us last Friday at Musica. Check that out below.

Seriously. So much fun was had. So much. Shivering Timbers were amazing. I had their song “Little Bird” stuck in my head all weekend. Not to mention opening for the brilliant artist Diego Garcia. You could not have asked for a better night of music. Huge thanks to 91.3 The Summit for having us amateurs be a part of the evening.

Keep an eye out for us this summer. We’ll be pretending to be a band at various locations through the warmer months, and then through the colder months, and then more warmer months.

Until later,

Much has happened.

It’s been a while since I’ve written an update on here, but a lot has been going on. I’ve been thinking a lot about where I would like to take the sound of the group, and what each person that comes to play in the group can do to make the songs sound unique. We [...]

For a few years now, I have been playing songs and bringing joy to folks around Ohio on a solo mission of awesomeness. But it began to get lonely on the big stage, and those songs that sounded like fully orchestrated movements to me only sounded like what it was, a guy with a guitar. [...]
