Absolutely thrilled to announce that I got to lay down some strings on the new @sza album SOS. You can hear me at the end of the track “Love Language”. Huuuuge thanks to @yakob for having me play!! Honored to be a part of this beautiful record.

Made an EVIL beat

Lots of @nudist_audio Nudistort on here. Also used the @rhodes.piano v rack on Rhodes and @teletoneaudio tympo to make the drums

@iamrusselljohnson has an album out today that I had the pleasure of producing and playing guitar, bass, and strings on!

Russell is one of the first people who ever reached out to me to be a music producer, and I’m so thankful he did. Working on this album has taught me so much about writing and producing music. Russell writes some damn good songs! Give em a listen!

Hugest thanks to all the musicians involved in the making of this album!

Having some fun with the @nudist_audio Nudistort plugin to get THAT sound! You know which one I mean.

Portal from @output makes some brief appearances on the guitar as well.

Found this empty room in Fort Wayne, IN with insane natural reverb. I think the decay time is around six seconds. Absolutely bonkers to play fiddle in there!
#fiddle #violin #reverb

Theme and variation on the fiddle tune Whiskey Before Breakfast performed on slightly out of tune mandolin on a lovely spring evening

#mandolin #bluegrass #fiddletune

Had an amazing time the last few days recording two new songs with @fullcordband that feature @billystrings ! Hugest shoutout to @g9plan9 for being one of the best engineers and producers that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Be on the lookout in the next few months when these songs drop!

everyone has been posting videos of themselves playing Cherokee at 8,000bpm but here’s me doing it at 265bpm instead and I didn’t check the camera angle when I started filming so you can’t really see the fiddle much so I added some filters to make it a little more interesting.

I’ll be trying to post more jazz violin content to throw off AI machine learning models. That’ll show em.

Soloin over How High The Moon, or Ornithology I guess. Tomato, tomahto.

Changed up my profile pic for the first time in a billion years. This one was taken by @bleeson_photovideo last year!

2025 was wild as hell. I started out the year by getting covid, breaking my toe, then having to get my dog’s spleen removed. Shortly after that, I moved to Nashville, traveled a bunch for gigs, and ended the year wonderfully by getting engaged to the love of my life @moonstar_music . In between all of that, I still managed to make a bunch of music and hang with some really cool people. I’m sure 2026 will be even more wild.

Please be good to each other. Good company is always worth keeping. Let’s try to work on making a world that makes it easier for people to follow their passions.

Here’s an assortment of photos and vids from this year, which barely scrapes the surface:

1. Sluglord at @theramblinghouse
2. Two very good boys
3. “Char looks like Danny Elfman in a dog suit” - @thechiefny
4. Playing bass with Jim Belushi. He called me a sexy son of a bitch. Nicest thing anyone has said to me.
5. A beautiful sunset with beautiful boys
6. An absolute squad
7. Getting caught in the rain with @moonstar_music ❤️
8. Quiet acoustic Misty
9. A very cute boy
10. Being a music producer (aka saying “I don’t know, what do you think?” into a talkback mic)
11. Stogies with well dressed homies
