I asked my friend @chrtucci to design me some artwork inspired by the album, and I’m obsessed. He totally understood the assignment.
I have prints available if anyone is interested just shoot me a message!
Great night. No notes. So much love in the room. And shoutout to @drinkpoppi for keeping things flowing.
How’s everyone enjoying the album so far?

Wow. I actually did it.
Grow Up, Greg is a 14-track musical comedy journey filled with genre-fluid songs and sketches. I’ve always wanted to make something like this, and if you’ve known me for a while, this probably feels like a natural expansion for me as an artist.
If not… you’re probably like wtf?
This album started as a few random songs during the pandemic that slowly took shape. But last year something clicked. I started seeing the thread between all the songs and suddenly the album made sense conceptually for the first time. Then it was full steam ahead, because I realized… if I didn’t commit to making it now, I might never do it. And that really scared me.
I’m really proud of what I made. It feels very me. It’s a comedy album, but with a lot of heart, too. There’s a lot here, if you sit with it.
Huge thank you to @austinarmstrongmusic , my collaborator and producer, for bringing this to life in a way that constantly exceeded my expectations. We laughed a lot making this, and I think that comes thru in the music. And shoutout to @iamsydfranklin for being such an incredible sounding board and for hopping on “100 First Dates.”
This is probably the most important thing I’ve made so far. It’s something I had to make and hopefully you can relate to some of it. And if not, that’s okay too! I made this for myself, but today it becomes something bigger because it’s leaving home to go out into the world.
Now go buy or stream Grow Up, Greg.
Much love.
One week away.
Grow Up, Greg is now available for pre-order for $12.99, or pre-save for streaming. Link in bio for both.
If you feel like supporting an independent artist, it costs the same as one meal… which you will eventually poop out.
This album, however, you’ll have forever.
So damn excited to share this with you all.
This album has been quietly taking shape for the past year. 14 original tracks made up of songs and sketches. It’s part musical comedy, part storytelling, part existential spiral. And somehow…it all became an album. Grow Up, Greg. March 20.
Produced with @austinarmstrongmusic
