3 films. 3 performances. 1 night. Featuring 3 short films/video collages with live music accompanied by Devin Champlin, Sean Curtis Patrick and myself. Hope to see you there.

Check out the latest Transmitter Down show with tunes by @johnswanke.bsky.social and other tasty luminaries!

Good morning from Momo and Brie

Down to my last few copies of both of these tapes. When they are gone they are gone (until someone reissues them 😉) message me to claim one. $15 shipped. I have 3 of each.

Opening for Sir Richard Bishop still feels like a dream. Packed house. Had to stand on a chair to get this shoddy video when I should’ve just sat down, closed my eyes and listened. But you know…content.

Nice lil stack here 😉

enjoying this older one from john swanke. his new one on eiderdown records is great. swampy, tapey guitar instrumentals #LunchtimeListening https://johnswanke.bandcamp.com/album/sturgeon-moon

Here are some of the songs I played on the radio today featuring @somesurprises.bsky.social and @johnswanke.bsky.social.

Last night in Bellingham. Thanks to Sean Curtis Patrick for some cool pics. Thanks to Jeffrey Silverstein for the invite to play. Good times ✌️

Teasing a new design here from my friend Kyle. Work in progress…New t-shirt maybe? Rain Country vol 2? We’ll see…

It's hot out Go cool down with @johnswanke.bsky.social by the lake for some refreshing sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipKc...

Post Stringband Jamboree and I’m still buzzing. Happy as a bee on a sunflower. Might have some live recordings coming soon. Stay tuned…

In the interest of transparency and because I think it’s interesting here’s some quick streaming stats from the service that shall not be named. Rain Country has in one week already blown past my first album that has been on streaming for over 3 years. Neat.

Saw @johnswanke.bsky.social post this record for his radio show this evening & had to share. A unique local bluegrass record by Chickahominy Tribal Member Chief Powhatan from the Richmond area. Some great original tunes on this including Rosie & Sun Dance. Here’s the full thing. 🎻🪕

Going live on 94.9 KZAX with Louis Ledford tonight from 6-8pm PST. I will play some records and talk about music, life or whatever else comes up. I will even play a little guitar. Listen live worldwide on kzaxradio.org ✌️

Is this proof that I am in fact, an ambient artist?

Listening party happening tomorrow 7/29 5:30pm PST. See you in the chat!

I tuned my guitar to 432hz because behind this American Primitive facade lives a dirty hippie who enjoys a good clean sound bath.

Listening party alert! Check out the new @johnswanke.bsky.social album in full before anyone else...join us? July 29th 5:30 pm pacific eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/merch/rain-c...

Title of my next album: “Love, Life and the Whole Karmic Enchilada”.

Working the door for a local show and I’m in love with these koala wrist bands

I pity the country I pity the state And the mind of a man Who thrives on hate - Willie Dunn

honestly feeling pretty fuckin' bleak at the moment, *BUT* i do get to go on @wfmu.bsky.social right now & play a bunch of fantastic (mostly) not-bleak music for falling/floating/back-stroking through hot stupid summer skies. come hang & listen with me. tune in: wfmu.org/playlists/JJ...

Lo-fi as it is currently defined is totally this generation's smooth jazz.

Millennial homesteading: made my own spicy mayo from leftover Mama Lil’s oil and made my own big jug of cold brew. Lettuce and tomatoes growing in the garden. I went to a farmers market. Am I off grid yet?

Ecstatic to have been featured twice this month on Pacific Notions on KEXP. Find me in the first hour of the show. Now streaming in the KEXP archive. www.kexp.org/shows/pacifi...

My soundtrack to the weather-worn rhythm of home.

Check out the new one from Hiram. Perfect music for the solstice and summer months ahead. ✌️ 🌱 🌞 🎶

First time playing this little synth live last night. Attempted to recreate my song “Low Clouds”.

Got my artist copies from Bud Tapes in the mail today. They sound great! These will be available at my upcoming show(s). And there’s still a couple copies for sale over on the Bud Tapes Bandcamp page.

As a former participant in student radio I love being played on the good old FM dial. Thanks for the airplay!

Happy to see new tunes appearing from @johnswanke.bsky.social via Bud Tapes. 🫠✨ budtapes.bandcamp.com/album/horizo...

My next album is up for preorder today from Bud Tapes. Very excited to get these songs out in the world. budtapes.bandcamp.com/album/horizo...

My “indie label debut” is now two years old 🎂. Big thanks to @matthewhiram.bsky.social at Lighten Up Sounds and for everyone who continues to listen to my music.

Still have a few of these shirts left. Help me make room for some new merch. Hit me up if you want to buy one. $25 shipped and I’ll throw in some stickers!

Pretty excited to be a small part of the 25th Annual Subdued Stringband Jamboree. I’ll be playing two very different sets! Hope to see you there ✌️

New tape coming out later this month courtesy of Bud Tapes. Album release show in Bellingham June 6 ✌️

The week after I finally sold/traded my Airline guitar the White Stripes get inducted to the hall of fame. Maybe I should’ve kept that guitar 🎸

My friend and photographer buddy, Sean Curtis Patrick took some great promo pictures for me. You should go support his music and film projects. theattemptedtheftofmillions.bandcamp.com

“Waning Gibbous” was previously only available to those who bought my tape Sturgeon Moon. It’s now streaming for free on Bandcamp with the rest of the album. ✌️ 🌙

Getting psyched for spring with one of my favorite records from Woods - Perennial 🌼

Acquired a bunch of old family photos. Here’s little me chowing down on some spaghetti 🍝

Happy “Seward’s Day”. A great day to announce that “SE AK Demos and Field Recordings” is now available wherever you steal music. I only spent a few seasons working in Alaska but it had a lasting impact on my creative ideas. Hope you enjoy this weird window into my home recording past.

Still have this super limited edition tape with needle felt artwork by my wife. Going to get some more fiber arts on the merch table soon.

Finding it harder to get excited about new music these days. Taking a flight next week so drop some album recommendations to listen to on the plane. Doesn’t have to be new.

Last year I tried to book as many shows as I could. I got burned out on music really fast. This year is decidedly different. Very few shows but a couple albums coming out soon. It’s nice to put energy into different things for a bit. Nobody asked but that’s what’s going on with me.

Best part of having a covered porch: recording storms ⛈️

Selling this 1960s Airline res-o-glass guitar. Yes it’s “that guitar” you’re thinking of. Professional refret and neck was straightened. Best playing Airline you’ll find. Message me if you’re interested.
