Hey everybody! Welcome to the new-look website, a fresh design for spring. The Sherpa Underground Continental Conquest proceeds apace, with big shows in DC, Virginia, Philly, New York, North Carolina and Canada in our recent past and near future. In June, a much-anticipated solo performance at the Fairfax Festival will allow me, in the true spirit of milking such things, to forever claim that I opened for Pat Benatar, just like that time in Philly when I opened for that guy who wrote that song for Jewel.

The band has shown some nice resilience, surviving the ancient Sherpa curse that foists physical, financial, or automotive woe upon whoever sits in our drummer chair. We look forward to bringing our increasingly electrified sound into your lives, hearts, and waking dreams.

One of these days, the film, "Potomac Dawn" is going to open, featuring my tune, "Walkabout," that Washingtonpost.com picked as one of its Top 10 songs of 2001. And I imagine our headlining stadium tour will get underway any day now. We're talking with Puddle of Mudd's people, hear they want an opening slot.

Anyway, keep checking in as information will be updated frequently. Also looking to add some fun sections, trivia games, a picks section to highlight albums, films, plays, stuff that I like and you might too, maybe a drunken rant section, pictures of my apartment, fruit/vegetable/80's breakfast cereal of the day, you get the idea.

Naturally, I'd love to hear any feedback on the new site and thank you very much for stopping by and for your continued support.
