Pre-orders for Around the Clock are now available!

This album has been a labor of love for the last 2 years, featuring some of my mandolin heroes and is the proudest and biggest moment of my music career.

I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!

My new album “Around the Clock” coming out on Adhyâropa Records on October 11, 2024!

Over the past year and a half, I’ve recorded an album of mandolin family and vocal duets with 11 of my favorite mandolin players.

I traveled to 5 different recording studios (The Tractor Shed and Dark Shadow Recording, both near Nashville, Echo Mountain in Asheville, Conveyor Studios in Brooklyn and Tusk Audio near Portland Maine) to record each of these songs in a live setting.

Along with recording these songs live and in person, the other important aspect to me was to record non bluegrass songs. Not because I don’t love bluegrass, but because all of us as musicians have different tastes in music outside of the bluegrass genre ....and that is what makes us each unique as players.

The tracklist for the album is:

  1. “Blue Sky” by The Allman Brothers Band, Featuring Sam Bush

  2. “Deal” by Jerry Garcia, Featuring Ronnie McCoury

  3. “Seven Spanish Angels” by Willie Nelson, Featuring Sharon Gilchrist

  4. “Drive” by The Cars, Featuring Tim O’Brien

  5. “Hey Bulldog” by The Beatles, Featuring Jarrod Walker

  6. “To Find a Friend” by Tom Petty, Featuring Harry Clark

  7. “I Got a Name” by Jim Croce, Featuring Mary Meyer

  8. “Lodi” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Featuring Jacob Jolliff

  9. “San Tropez” by Pink Floyd, Featuring Mike Guggino

  10. “Knockin’ on Your Screen Door” by John Prine, Featuring Matt Flinner

  11. “Angel” by Jimi Hendrix, Featuring Joe K Walsh

The album will be available on “Blue Sky Blue” translucent vinyl, CD and digital platforms. (Physical copies will be limited!)

Here is a link

to Bandcamp, which is where the pre-sales will be taking place. It’s available on digital CD and limited edition vinyl.

Even if you only stream music, you can still support the album by purchasing a digital copy from Bandcamp.

It’ll always be our archived for you in case you ever want to download it to a computer or you could just leave it where it is, knowing you supported the album :)

Regardless of how you listen to it I truly hope you enjoy it!
