Winter is here in Western Michigan, a good time to stay inside and build guitars and make more music.
 
I'll be working on a few new instruments, and working on a bunch of music both for the band to play and to record at home. Keep checking on the Music page here to see if I put up any new songs- I'll try and post new things as quickly as I can. New to the Music page is a video! I have opened up a Youtube channel, and will continue to post videos as I can finish them, Please subscribe!
 
On February 2nd, I will be heading up to the annual Luthier's Concert in Fremont. The rest of 13th Hour is good enough to come along and play with me there! This is a concert featuring some of West Michigan's finest luthiers, all playing handmade instruments. It's always a treat, and Ken, Tom and Jay will all be playing instruments that I've built. This event takes place on February 2nd at the Dogwood Center for the Performing Arts in Fremont, Michigan.
 
So, those of you who are nearby me and want to see a guitar or two, there are two of my instruments available at Rainbow Music in Grand Rapids. The best locally-owned music store on the west side of the state, Pete and John know how to treat a customer. My thanks to them!
 
Thanks for checking in on my website, and supporting me and the rest of the band as we play throughout western Michigan.
