In 1993 my band OLD MAN released a full length album of original music on cassette. The music was recorded at my house on a Tascam 38 1/2” 8-track in Santa Barbara. No computers yet! The album cover and logo is a painting I created using paraffin wax and Dr. Martin Dyes. There was quite a music scene in Santa Barbara at that time, and it was a lot of fun to be a part of it. A while after the album’s release, drummer Tony Sevener joined the band, and a few years later we changed our name to SUMMERCAMP, and eventually signed with Maverick Records (Warner Bros). A few of the songs on the OLD MAN cassette would carry over to SUMMERCAMP’s debut album “Pure Juice” in 1997.
It was a wonderful time touring with Karla Bonoff and Livingston Taylor! 🎶 We spent December 2022 traveling and performing shows on the east coast and the pacific northwest as part of the “Home for the Holidays” tour. It was such a privilege and pleasure to share the stage with these talented musicians/songwriters and spread some holiday cheer through music. 🎄✨ The audiences were amazing, and we had a blast exploring different cities and towns along the way. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us!

This is one of my setlists for the Home for the Holidays tour. I learned quickly that I needed to make copies because inevitably someone would run off with the setlist after the show.

The album Karla Bonoff and I recorded is NOW AVAILABLE for download and streaming today! Choose your preferred platform by clicking the link below. The album has been recently added to SiriusXM as well. This is what the Program Director, MarySue Twohy at SiriusXM had to say:
“I just want to say this out loud: Karla’s new album is stunning. I listen to music for a living – (amazing right?) and I was stopped in my tracks. I could not do anything else but listen. She sang every word and was invested in every note. I felt it. There was so much care and emotion. And the arrangements, the production values and the authenticity of her delivery – just tears.I am really looking forward to adding this to rotation – I normally shoot for around 4 tracks for an album I enjoy – I am adding 6 of Karla’s new album. I hope she truly knows how incredible her talent is on this planet. Just beautiful.” — MarySue Twohy, SiriusXM Program Director
