WHITE SAUCE HOT SAUCE
New Album out September 24
My new album — ten original songs about love, death, weird sex, marriage, murder, and other things that seemed funny at the time — will be released September 24.
I’ve always been interested in songs that can make you laugh without being silly, songs that camouflage heavy topics with dark humor. WHITE SAUCE HOT SAUCE lives somewhere in that territory, moving between rock, country, soul, gospel, doo-wop, and whatever else the songs demanded.
The first single, “I Killed,” arrives on streaming August 14, followed by “Alibi” on September 4. (Both tracks are live now on Bandcamp.)
WHITE SAUCE HOT SAUCE is out September 24, with a full-band album release show in Woodstock at Tinker Street Tavern on September 26.
The album is available to preorder now on vinyl through Bandcamp. Preordering gets you the digital album when it’s released and helps support an independent musician who may or may not be typing this right now.

2025 London Tour Diary
I kicked off the summer with my first-ever trip to London, where I spent two weeks criscrossing the city with a single goal: to play as many of my songs for as many people as possible. With no connections or bookings to start, my expectations were relatively low: I showed up with a list of twelve leads, and I told my friends that if a third of them panned out I’d be happy.
As it turned out I ended up playing thirteen stages in ten nights (I doubled up on three of them) — most of them open mics, with a couple of proper bookings that came out of open mics — and met so many fascinating, talented, kind, generous people. It was the most inspiring and exciting two weeks I can remember.
As a songwriter and solo performer it’s great to draw a good crowd that appreciates what you’re doing. But going in cold to a crowd that definitely doesn’t know you, and then watching the heads gradually turn and the crowd noise gradually quiet is a different kind of buzz, and I was lucky enough to feel it more often than not on this trip — London’s audiences, even at open mics in pub basements, are the most attentive and appreciative I’ve had the opportunity to play for, and I can’t wait to go back.
