DISCOGRAPHY

2022 - SWIM (SINGLE)

"Swim" is an acoustic pop track blending intricate lyrics with a simple acoustic guitar.

2022 | LIVE ON SATURDAY NIGHT - UNCUT (EP)

"Live on Saturday Night, Uncut" is an EP featuring 4 songs performed live. Joined by the "Ragged Impressarios" on the first three tracks, the last is a solo acoustic performance. No edits to the performances were done. To help obtain a vintage sound, the drums were mic'd using the Glyn Johns technique. When asked, "Why a live record?" Sean's reply was, "The band nailed it. Why not? Plus, I had that recording of 'Sunday Morning'..."

1995 | FLANNEL BANDANNA (EP)

This EP was recorded over a three day period in late 1995. Borrowed recording equipment turned the "house on the hill" in northern New Hampshire, into a makeshift studio. Three of the songs were also written during that time. Dirty guitar strings, cigarettes and late nights contributed to the final outcome.

A fresh version of "Sympathy" appears on the more current "Everything Has Past" EP with a bit of a different flair which was created by producer Steve Bertrand (The Tories, Avion) and guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme (The Calling, Lifehouse).
