2017 Year In Music

Another year has come and gone, and this was a year that most of us are probably very glad to be finished with. We were all tested physically and mentally, and it looks as though we might have another tough year ahead. Regardless, we have to keep living and creating because that's what we all do best, and I very much look forward to being creative in this new year. With that said, this past year was another busy one for me musically, and here are a few of the highlights.

This was a very important year for us as a band. Emily has been writing great songs, and we convinced our friend John to not only help us produce these songs, but to also play guitar in our live band. We played some very fun shows with very good friends, and I'm sure that next year is only going to be better. We released two new songs this year, which can be found on your streaming service of choice.

This was yet another busy year for SRiD because in addition to playing a ton of shows, they also released a brand new EP that I had the pleasure of playing on.  The EP was accompanied by a very fun release show at Rough Trade in Brooklyn and then a tour with the Swedish band Shout Out Louds, which took us to the West Coast of North America.  We had a lot of fun this year playing for a lot of new people, and I look forward to what the new year has in store.







While I'm still a member of Ski Lodge and Von Sell, this year was a bit slower that the previous, however, we did play a few shows and both bands remain active. I look forward to making music together in the future. With that said, I believe creativity is more important than ever, not only to enrich ourselves, but everyone in our lives. This upcoming year is an important one, and together we can make it truly beautiful.
