Jawbreaker on cello

I’m arranging some Jawbreaker songs for cello, to be possibly included in a documentary about the band. As I record songs this weekend, I’ll post rough mixes as Soundcloud files for comments and feedback. Follow here, or at Soundcloud, or on Twitter.

Thanks to DC Rock Live for this nice review of my set opening for Garland Of Hours this past Wednesday.

I released a new album! It’s a cello tribute to the excellent Welsh band The Joy Formidable. You can listen/buy it at Bandcamp now, and it will be up on iTunes, etc. in a few days. Click through the image to listen.

For locals, I am excited to open for Garland of Hours (cellist Amy Domingues) tomorrow night at the Black Cat. See you there?
