If you’re doing the “soundguy” thing on the road you’d be lucky to run into any of these legends! Only one house tech on this entire tour didn’t meet the “nice and helpful” standard to qualify for the selfie… I’ll let you speculate wildly what city/venue that was.
Some photos of me falling back into North Carolina’s largest lawn chair as a tool to gloat about records/songs that have been released into the world this year that I maybe helped record, maybe helped mix, maybe produced, maybe I’m definitely forgetting some, maybe this is a run-on sentence.
Oh and one photo of some real one’s helping me finish a song I won’t ever put out, as a treat.
Lots of faces in lots of places.

Shot on my Leica mini
I probably shouldn’t have left Naoshima.
In Tokyo now for 4 more days.
All shot with my Leica mini, on Ektar 100 I think.
Except the last three slides.
Winter 2025 “Can I get a ‘let’s ride!’ ?” USA tour.
Interrupting instagram break while in Japan for proof of life and proof that I went on the best tour with the best folk. I was in a tricky headspace at the start of this tour and I truly would have not been able to bear it had it not been for the warmth afforded to me from this crew and had Nick not actually listened to me when I asked him to turn his guitar amp down. Also I forgot to screenshot some of the recommendations shared in my DMs, so doing that. Today I’m in Kyoto, see ya.
34 day tour done. Here’s a selfie of me with every house tech that I fuck with and hope to run into again. MVP’s each and every one! 18 out of 22, I’ll let you speculate wildly what cities didn’t make the cut…
Anyway was home for less than two days and am now on my way to Texas to witness love do it’s thing. ✈️
