With an EP to be recorded and released this spring, and a fully-written Album in the works for later this year, I will be releasing promotional videos and sound clips throughout spring and summer 2014. Follow me on Facebook for in-depth info regarding shows and news.
Second century,
the first new day,
and everyone's dying to go home.
If you're lucky it's where the heart is,
if you're not, it's where they've gotta take you in,
if the choice is between a bed and the road.
But luck's what you know.
First new day,
in twenty-odd years,
before the next plateau.
The one they say that's the way in life
when you get what you're owed.
But some people work their lives away,
and bounce a check for zero...
