Sometimes you find yourself at a Dancehall video shoot. Sometimes you end up in the video. Both of these things are true. This is enigma is pwile chile. His tale of British and Jamaican trade relations and the struggles of small business ownership in volatile free markets, is riveting. If you want to support these adventures …
Wanna see Rock reborn in East Jamaica? Something absolutely magic happened last night at rehearsal with Lenni I-Music and his Trail Blazer Band. We turned this little Mento song I wrote called, ‘Go Tell It To The Mystics’ into a genuine Arena Rock anthem. And the take after this was the most punk moment I have ever …
I am going to be as tan as I was back in high school in Summertime whether I like it or not. You can’t escape the sun. Jogging with your shirt on makes no sense. Miss 80’s, mid 70s humidity. The only thing I ate today are mangos and sweet cups, which are really passion …
We need to talk about mangoes. All we are eating in this Country is mangos. Here we are at famed reggae singer Mark Wonders house and he takes us to the Mango tree and says, “Take all you like.” Isachar changed the game and told me to just not even bother peeling eat the skin, …
I wrote some more cool songs with Ras Isachar this morning. Writing with a Selecta is like having a library of vibrations at your disposal. Isachar claims he’s not a singer, but that’s a pretty incredible vibrato you have there, Sir. If you dig that African medallion, Mamadou Diakite is your MAN in West Seattle. If you …

Internet is limited on this Jamaica adventure Stay tuned. I have much to say. A lot has happened since I woke up 38 hours ago. This island is most inspiring… We rolled through the Papine neighborhood of Kingston blasting Jerry Lee Lewis’ Great Balls of Fire on the radio, and it sounded fantastic with the …
Lead vocalist with The Kills and The Dead Weather, Alison Mosshart has spent the last 26 years on the road performing and living a predominantly transitory life.

The veterans are telling me some incredible stories this Memorial Day weekend. Old scarred Liberals who saw the worst of it in Vietnam. It was cinematic. The tale of the mad man O’Leary that went completely Apocalypse Now refusing to go home as the Americans pulled out. This trained killer knew that if he came …

If I was a rapper, I would call myself Nobody. I love how Odysseus stabs the Cyclops in his big fat eye and when his friends come to his rescue they ask, “who did this to you Brother?” He says, “Nobody!!! Nobody did this!”. When I travel the world, people ask me who I am, …

Pussy Riot’s member Nika Nikulshina is arrested in Moscow – for no reason – and this is the second time in one month she’s been detained. This time it’s even worse: being detained already for 7 hours, she’s going to spend the night at the police department. Tomorrow starts a period of days-off in Russia, …
I am officially old. Over the years my love of attending live music has centered on the performer. What a concept, right? I attended the first and third Lollapalooza concerts because of the lineups as it traveled between cities. These days a ginormous Lolla stays in Chicago’s Grant Park for several days with throngs of …
Wrote my first porch song in Louisiana morning…I mean afternoon. At least it’s the first porch tune of this trip. The first visit here to see Justin in 2017 with Lewis Harding, many songs that came from ether and landed here. I am sending the video to my Patreons, because their support is making it possible …

Justin Armstrong‘s recording palace on the edge of New Orleans is almost complete. This is where I hope to come back and record my long imagined album, Home Cookin’ with Eric Struthers. The first time I came down here to see Justin, I recorded ‘Stop Crying at The Club’ and ‘Last Train to Houston’ with Justin …
This was incredibly beautiful, touching beyond belief. I can’t remember anything like this before:
How about these apples? Friday June 14th I am going to be a guest on the Kingston radio station, Roots FM with Selecta Ras Isachar. He is going to listen to a wide variety of Northwest artists that submit music for this episode – and some of them will be highlighted on this evening and …
I am clearly a big fan of Casey Brookbush. I shot this at Hangar 420 Snohomish before the storm of 420 swept over us. It was a fun day working with old friend Jess Webb who was one of the people that can say she was there in 2002 when the The Staxx Brothers got started, hit the road, and wrote …

I just got in a fascinating argument where I had to calm down an employee and supervisor, because I asked the Right questions. I refused to use the new Kiosk at Costco to order a Ceasar salad. I almost did it, but I just couldn’t. I pulled out my card. I told the girl I …
Tonight I started trying to collect some photos of these adventures to Jamaica and England before they are lost in the ether and die in the coldness of the cloud. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I have 10,000 words and 100 hooks to say about this shot of a Sick Donkey Records …
I haven’t had time to do an edible or any of that in a while I’ve been so busy. And I work in a Shop. So this was nice. A day off. I sat down and instead of writing a song, I wrote the first page of a book. My apprehension with a novel is …
TONY DANZA!!! This is one of those moments where songwriting, comedy, collaboration, and concerts collide. This 4.20 Hangar 420 Snohomish and The Soul United Allstars collaborated on a wonderful little experiment. We threw a pop up funky reggae party with just a flat bed, the little PA equipment I rehearse with, and Pat Canavan’s carvings …
Here it is.
