A while back I got this gig to make songs out of educational lyrics. I loved the challenge and totally obsessed over every one. Here are the first two songs I produced for Ignite! Learning: the funk-rock multiplication tables of “Fact Families” and the hip-hop geometry of “Angles.” Special thanks to Alex Sarabia‘s guitars on the first and DJ Bigface‘s turntable logic on the second.

I stopped playing bars and coffee shops last year opting this year to devote my music time to the podcast and working on a better model for performing. I’d noticed secret little stages around town and around my neighborhood, along Blunn creek where I take my dog Townes for a walk most days. So as the coolness of the spring dissipated, while the creek was flowing, I invited people on a tour of my favorite natural amphitheaters, playing a few songs acoustically at each spot. Knowing I wanted to be able to share the experience with all my friends around the country and world, I got some footage of it, along with DJ Bigface’s fantastic photographs!
You can hear the creek flowing right in front of me.
