Hello There, Nice To See You
Hey everyone,
My pedal steel guitar album, PEDAL STEEL IN ORBIT, has just been released and is streaming on all the streaming places! There is no electric guitar anywhere on PEDAL STEEL IN ORBIT, all the main guitar parts are played exclusively on pedal steel guitar. But it sure ain't country! Check it out!
Ok, I am back from an adventurous 2 week Italian tour with Eileen Rose and I'm super excited to announce that Eileen's new album INSANITIA has also finally been released! I may be biased but I think this is her best album ever. Recorded in Italy with a mix of Italian and US musicians, it's an album with a ridiculously wide musical scope, yet it all fits together perfectly. It's great! Really happy to have been a part of it! You should check this out as well!
Meanwhile my solo album from 2025, 100% SYNTHETIC, is also out everywhere in the streaming world! While I'm throwing the accolades around, I should add that I think this and PEDAL STEEL IN ORBIT may be my best solo records so far. You've got to put yourself in uncertain areas to continue to make interesting music, and I absolutely did that with both of these records. The end results are pretty cool and exciting, hopefully you will think so as well. No physical copies yet, but you can download them (along with other records) on the DOWNLOAD page. So, check them out when you have the time and enjoy the ride!
Meanwhile, here are some videos I made over the past year, some are songs from 100% SYNTHETIC, some are from PEDAL STEEL IN ORBIT, some are songs from past albums and some are from my upcoming album MUSIC TO FALL ASLEEP TO. I think these are all pretty cool.
Of course I will still release my new music on CD and possible vinyl eventually, but for now, I'm going to put the music up for streaming first. That is the future world we live in!
I'm betting a lot of you heard that I was living in Italy for most of 2024, and it was a pretty amazing experience. BUT, I am am back in Nashville again, I'm happy to be here and frankly I missed Music City USA. I will still be going back to Italy now and then, but right now it's Nashville again! Which leads me to:
HAVE GUITAR WILL TRAVEL!!!!!!
I’m throwing the word out there that I now have a big chunk of free time available so if you’re going on tour anywhere and want some LRG guitar and/or pedal steel to add to the mix, well here I am! I can fly anywhere and I can bring the steel as well, as I had a case made that brings it below the weight limit! Or we can meet up somewhere. Whatever. It can be worked out. I’m just looking to play some great music and am always looking for some new adventures! So hey, here I am, let’s play!
Also I want you all to know that over the upcoming months we will be making much of our past catalog available on all the streaming platforms. The Zulus, The Silver Threads and of course new music from me, LRG. I know I’ve been saying this for a while but it's true.
One more thing. Back when The Blackstone Valley Sinners were playing around Providence and Boston we recorded a CD to sell at our shows. The original BVS home made CD contained 2 songs that we later removed when we released our “official” debut CD, It’s A Sin. Both were covers and we replaced them with 2 songs of original material. BUT, I am thrilled to announce that those 2 rare tracks are now available on all the streaming sites! And I have to say, I’m particularly excited as I always was, and still am, extremely fond of our version of Still The One in particular. I think it’s very beautiful. So if you're interested they're both up on all the streaming places.
So yeah. Almost back to normal. Or at least as much normal as I can take.
