What are some favs in LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria and Parksville? Headed out for some shows in the next 9 days!

India, Seattle (Live Take)
Last Summer I was in San Diego and we shot a few of the songs off the record at Big Fish Studios. I had some friends Blake LaGrange, Ethan Hulse and Elias Carlson help out. Here is the title track, India, Seattle.
Become a backer on my kickstarter and help me press India, Seattle on 12" Vinyl.

I've launched a kickstarter campaign with some fun and crafty rewards, a phone call from Larry (my dad) even Larry's old record player.
We listen to music so quickly today and I think having physical things and a physical record reminds us that we still live in a concrete and tactile world. I think we need to be reminded of this by listening to music, holding artisan and crafted goods in our hands, and by going outside.
The link is in my profile and Thank you all so much!
India, Seattle Design
I have always loved thinking about the design and the cover of an album I have released. It's very important to me. It's generally the first thing people see and I just like it to say something I guess. My friend Jorge agreed to design it. He also directed and produced the video for The Closer. I feel like it took a little while to get on the right page, but I feel like the end design is amazing.
The Final Album Cover of India, Seattle
We started somewhere here.
We started to get on a good track. Kind of a reference to my past album cover - The Last Of Our Mountains.
We landed on this design, and I loved the design but we searched around until we settled on the 'Butterscotch Feathers'.
Check out Jorge's notes about the design here

Julia - Live Video from Southern Souls
There is something magnetic between cats and camera's and though I have a love/hate relationship with cats, this one made it into our video we shot of#julia with #southernsouls
It features Dave Zellinsky on cool moves and Jesse Boland on immaculate hair alongside a guest appearance of Jordan Clarke's rooftop and cat.
