Had such an amazing time showcasing at @apap365 last week. Met some amazing people and got to present to some exceptional performing arts bookers and directors. This video is a promo I got ready for the showcase but am just now sharing. I hope you all enjoy it and feel free to send it to a venue at which you’d like to see me play. Big thanks to @timbowser.media for shooting and editing this piece. He did a great job and it will be a valued part of my comm assets. If you want to book me, just inbox me. I can tailor the show for all audiences: corporate, collegiate, primary and secondary education, reunions and family events, and festivals. Hit me up, and we’ll make something specific to your needs! Thanks also to @scadshowatl for a wonderful concert and for letting us film it!

More than being a beautiful song, Can’t Help Falling in Love is special to me because it was a sweet part of the early days of courting my wife. This is the account of how a song I would stumble into while practicing would become an important part of our wedding and couple story. Link to stream in bio.

I’ve always loved the bridge for this song. In a tradition where the bridge takes you away from the familiar only to bring you back home to the chorus, I think this particular bridge does that so well. The melody is not quite as simple or as predictable as the verse and the chorus, and it introduces something that feels slightly minor. So when it comes back home to this major gorgeous, sweet, simple verse and chorus it feels better this time than it did any of the times previous. My version of this is streaming on all platforms and you can access it via the link in my bio I hope you all enjoy.

The song lives inside the lyrics long before it finds its melody. Here’s where it began. Songs out, Tomorrow!!!
