Home Recording Project
I am teaching myself to record music in my small home studio. I'm not expecting brilliance in the beginning, but hopefully results will improve as I learn.

Home Recording Sessions
January 31, 2026 - I am launching this website today, and have been working for several months to record cover songs while I am taking online classes to learn the DAW (recording software.) Logic Pro is complicated, but absolutely awesome.
In the coming weeks I will be releasing songs that I have recorded. Sign up for email updates and you'll receive email notifications as new songs are released.
Upcoming Releases

Cover Me Up - Jason Isbell

Original Songs
Home Recording Sessions
Over the years I have written the beginnings, middles or ends of quite a few songs, but none ever felt quite right. In the last year I started putting those bits together and have now "finished" five or six originals. Lots of ideas still rattling around in my head, so hopefully more comes out.
My goal is to put together a couple of single releases, which will always be uploaded here for you first, then released to Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
FAQ.
In January of 2023, my dad was very ill. In his final days he wanted to hear me sing again, so I did a small show for him in his hospital room. I mostly sang John Denver songs because he was one of my dad's favorites, and I still remembered them all from childhood. Before he went to sleep that night he told me that I should record my voice for others to hear. It was one of the last things he ever said, and I promised him that I would.
So here I am, launching this project on January 31, 2026 - exactly three years after my dad passed away.

The setup I am using for this project is pretty simple. Buying new toys is pretty addicting, so this list has already grown since I started.

Let's find out if I'm any good first.
The Plan.
One of my goals has long been to record music that I love, whether that's cover songs, or ones that I have written. I'm not getting any younger, so now seems like a good time to start.
The software, and the process of recording and mixing your own music, is pretty complicated, especially from a beginner's perspective. I am currently taking a class on Logic Pro, and at the same time I am recording cover songs to help teach myself the software as I go. I am trying to create an immersive experience... at least as much I can make it from my tiny home studio.
I have written a handful of original songs, and have lots more ideas that I'm working on, so those will eventually be added here too.
This project is in memory of my mom, who taught me to sing, and my dad who loved to listen.
