Ninja

After bowing to public demand, I have put together a little recording of my song "Ninja." I used a free music editor called Audacity. It's nothing too fancy, but I think it got the job done okay. In fact, it was such a fun little project, that I am going to try to get a couple new songs a month up on the website. It's a great opportunity for me to spend some time with these tunes before getting the band together for album number two. So after fiddling with the website for a while, I think I figured out how to post the mp3. Here goes... enjoy :)

Monk's in Middleton

I've been talking with the good folks over at the new Monk's Bar and Grill in Middleton, and we've booked some dates for good old-fashioned piano rock there in the bar! If you're in the neighborhood, why don't you stop on over. Also, don't forget that my album is finished and up on iTunes for you!

Back in Town

Hey folks-

After a WONDERFUL trip down to Mississippi, we are back safe and sound in Madison. Francie and I had a great show at Watson's. It was fun seeing all of the old friends again. Now that I'm back in town, it's back to the regular schedule. I'll be at Plan B on Willy Street every Tuesday from 8pm to midnight and Francie and I will be at Maduro on E. Main Street every Wednesday from 9pm to midnight.

Don't forget the CD is for sale and download at iTunes and CD Baby. See ya at the next show!

Croake & Shira Phelps, and my ninjas - Kristel & Sara. Thanks to the folks over at 105.5 Triple M - especially those behind the Project M songwriting competition.

Education is paramount to the future of American music. I'd like to thank my childhood piano teacher - Marilyn Leone; my public school music teachers from Long Beach - Carol Embry, John Gipson, Dr. Jim Hamilton, and Shane McElveen; and the music faculty at Millsaps - Drs.
