Electric
CD, January 2005
Rolywholyover
I started out playing electric rock music before veering off into folk and roots music almost exclusively. I did take one brief detour back to record some of my favorite original rock songs with a highly amplified band, and this is the result. $10
Samples: Yesterday's
Sunshine, Rolywholyover

Acoustic
CD, June 2000
Show Biz
After years of demos and EPs, this was my first full-length CD. It includes straightforward solo tracks that sound like my live shows at the time, and a few band arrangements that sound like what I was really aiming for. This is a remastered version of the original 1998 release. $12
Samples: Poor as
Poi, Wilson-esque

EP, November 1998
Anti-Gravity Girl
While most of my recordings are self-produced, this EP came from an offer to help test a new recording studio. The songs are typical of what I was performing at the time, but the arrangements get a big boost from a professional engineer and backing band. $5

How Long Jug Band
My main project since moving to Portland has been infusing authentic jug band blues with a modern energy. This quartet shares the singing duties, while I play guitar, mandolin, kazoo and jug. $10

Hare of the Jug
Spanning two years and over 20 musicians, this album captures the spirit of The Hump Night Thumpers, the jug band class I started at the Old Town School of Folk Music. The album includes 11 rollicking pre-war blues songs, plus one by a favorite from my high school years, Mojo Nixon. $10

Music of My Ancestors
A year before O Brother, Where Art Thou brought old-time music to the masses, I stumbled across the Anthology of American Folk Music and entered a time warp. If you're ready for a little history and a lot of fooling around, this one's for you. Includes the "Buckingham Fountain" remake and one other bonus track. $12

Kids'
CD, April 1999
A Day at Honey Creek
I've always played a few songs with childlike elements, and I took that to its logical extreme with this album, a collection of original songs for children (or, at least, about children). This collaboration with Anna Belyaev was one of my biggest sellers, and got me into the lucrative elementary school circuit! $12

CD, October 2001
Holiday Mornings
Anna and I followed up A Day at Honey Creek with a collection of original holiday songs. Holiday Mornings comes on a trio of 3" CDs, for use as three individual stocking stuffers or one great gift. We wrote these songs for a wider age range than our first release and explored a much wider range of genres as well. $15

Sorry-Go-Round
I put my computer skills to use here to create one of the first enhanced CDs by an independent artist. Before multimedia moved from CDs to the web, this dual-mode disc wowed people with its interactive press kit, photos and videos. $5
