It's finally here. I've got new music out in the world for the first time since, I don't know, a while ago. You can get a load of my new single, Dream Not Found — a power pop banger with feature appearances by me, me, me and me — on your favorite platform. Or my favorite, Bandcamp.

That's from the video. Let me tell you it wasn't easy getting all those bozos together for the shoot. It reminded me of why I wanted to be a solo act.

But I'm excited to share this first full-band recording. It's really a two-person band for this song, with me playing various guitars and James Phillips of longtime Durham NC folk-pop band Bombadil on the drums, not to mention being the recording engineer. It's the first time I've played bass in public since the '80s, and the first time I've ever played a 12-string guitar, other than messing around in Guitar Center or something.

Here's the video.

 You can also stream the song on Spotify or Apple Music or whatever similar thing you use.

But my favorite platform is Bandcamp, where Dream Not Found serves as an advance single for my debut EP, Us Ugly Guys Got Style.

You can stream Dream Not Found on Bandcamp for free, or you can buy a high-quality digital download for a buck — or more if you want. Better yet, you can pre-order Us Ugly Guys Got Style for 4 bucks — or more if you want. If you do that, you get the high-quality digital download of Dream Not Found, and then on May 30 you can download the rest of the EP.

But wait! There's more! There's actual physical CDs. Here's my unboxing video!
 

You'll be able to buy those at my shows, starting with the CD release party at The Cave on May 30, which you're invited to. Come on out! It's going to be a sweaty blast. I'm hoping to play part of the set with a full band, and by that I mean other musicians who are not me. 

Thanks for reading, listening and coming out.

Your friend,
