The frightful and well-crafted anthology of horror tales that director Brent Sims has put together in this 14-minute short film is now out and ready for your Halloween viewing pleasure! Brent asked me to record a version of Henry Hall’s 1932 song Teddy Bear Picnic for the film. About 4 minutes into the short at “chapter 2″ you can catch my rendition. The project was fun and the film turned out great!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!

If you’re anything like me, you’re silently waiting for the promise of spring, a whisper of warmth.
This Nashville winter has been brutal!
To help conjure imagery of what’s to come, I’m releasing the single “The High Wind (Studio Version).”
You can visit my bandcamp to download the previously unreleased version of the song that never made the ORIGINATOR album cut.
It’s packed with birdies, wildlife, fresh breezes & balmy seas.
Soak it in, nice and easy.
