YOU CALLED ME KID (Single)!

One of the perks of being a paid subscriber to this newsletter is new music before it’s released.

Beginning today, paid subscribers can stream or download “You Called Me Kid” by visiting the link found beyond the paywall at the bottom of this post.

Everyone else will have to wait until Thursday, June 12, when the track drops on the eve of Father’s Day weekend.

PRE-SAVE SINGLE

“You Called Me Kid” is the lead track from my forthcoming album, Fade Away Blue, which will be released August 22 on Puzzle Tree Records.

While it was written for my dad after he passed away, I dedicate the song to both of my folks. As an adoptee, I am especially grateful for their love and support.

The single will be accompanied by a music video directed by John Jeffcoat featuring photos submitted by fans celebrating parental figures in their lives.


SEPTEMBER DATES ANNOUNCED!

September 09 - Vienna, VA • Jammin’ Java
September 13 - Cambridge, MA • Passim
September 14 - North Hampton, MA • The Parlor Room
September 18 - New York City, NY • Joe’s Pub

To celebrate the August release of Fade Away Blue, I’ll head to the East Coast for a handful of dates in September.

Early-bird tickets will be available this Friday, June 6*, for paid subscribers. Keep an eye on your inbox for details.

Tickets will be available for the general public on Tuesday, June 10*.

* Philadelphia early-bird tickets on June 11. General public on sale June 13.


And now… without further ado… for my paid subscribers… It’s been a long time coming… I’m thrilled to share my new single, “You Called Me Kid.” I hope you dig it.
