So summer is over and it's time to get back to work! I've had a great summer. I got to ride jet skies, speed boats, swim in the ocean, make some music and play with some dogs and cats. Plus I got to spend the summer with my family and create some great new memories.
I am almost finished packing now and will be leaving the beach at the end of this week to begin a journey that will take me to my old homes in Cleveland, Oh , Pittsburgh, Pa and Brooklyn, NY. After that I am on a plane and heading back to England for a while.
I can't tell you how excited I am to start up the new FOCOTheory branch in Brighton and to tour the U.K. and Europe. It's going to be great. I am going to miss my friends and family in America while I am away though.
When I get to England I will be recording the next batch of songs that will finish our new record, which will be out in October. We also have a new,19 song double disc bsides album called "For the Gloomy Guses and Negative Nancies" that is free and available for download now.
About a week ago I got a look behind the curtain and got to see who my real friends are and who are just looking for a free ride and looking out for themselves. I'm so glad this happened before I got to England instead of after so I know who is a true friend.
I am still so excited to share my new music with everyone. I'm really proud of it and hope everyone likes it.
In the mean time, everyone should pump Cee Lo's "Fuck You" and jam out!

p.s. - not to brag, but in the last 24 hours Lil Cease (notorious b.i.g.'s friends and awesome brooklyn rapper) and Mtv have both tweeted to me. Who you know with a better tweet game right now? No one. Step up your tweet game!

wi-fi up a holler!
I decided to write a brief blog since i have a quiet minute. I am traveling right now in my downtime from Darling Waste.
I am recording a 15 song album of gospel music right now. My mother is playing all the songs on piano, i am playing guitar and my grandmother is singing. I am currently in Stickney, West Virginia at my grandparents house. Their new neighbor got unprotected Wi-FI!
Last night I drove through a huge storm. A tree fell in front of me on the road and I had to drive through the one lane mountains of WV to find an alternate route. As soon as I got to my grandparents house the power went out. It was still out this morning so we couldn't record the album unless we thought of something else.
We rented out a VFW hall for the day and made it into a makeshift studio. My gandmother (maw maw) sang 15 gospels songs in one day. When her voice would get to weak and sore we would take a break and then get back to it 15 mins later. It was a great experience.
I am heading up to Pittsburgh PA tomorrow to see some old friends, have a dentist appointment and (hopefully) see my chiropractor. Sat I am checking out an all day punk and metal festival that my friend is throwing, then I am playing an acoustic show at a great little place called the fallout shelter.
I got to spend a week with my daughter at myrtle beach last week and it was just amazing. It's been a great summer.
This Sept. I am meeting up with the band, playing some shows in Ohio, PA, WV, NJ and NY. At the end of the tour we are loading the van, trailer and gear onto a boat, taking the subway to the airport and flying to England. I bought my plane ticket this week. I am so excited to start this journey that will hopefully take is to at least 8 countries. This is by far the biggest thing I have ever done and it's all I am thinking about. I hope I don't die alone in a country where I don't speak the language. But I know if I do it's better than living and dying in the same town I grew up in.
Time for dinner. My grandfather (Paw Paw) made corn (roastnears as he calls them) and I think my Maw Maw made potatoes (taters) and greens.
