My brother officially got married to his lifelong partner!

We’ve had so many great holidays and memories with her as a part of our family, and now there’ll be many more to come as our families officially merge! It was a chill time too, which is my favorite kind of wedding day

Need some rock music that also helps you confront those feelings of anxiously navigating modern living with Tool-esque grooves, prog fueled soundscapes, and a dash of self-reflective instrumentals featuring Jordan Hamilton on cello?

Good news! Overdrive Orchestra’s most recent record, Restless Star, covers all of that in spades! It was a fun listen and you can read my thoughts on the record on my website. Check the link in my bio!

You wanna catch me with a rock band this week? 🤩🎹

Happy to be joining Jack Droppers & The Best Intentions this Saturday at the Midtown Grooves Music Festival at the Midtown Green! Check out the poster, it has all the details for this fun event!

See ya'll soon! Don't forget that I'm also at The Old Goat this Wednesday too! (And for those in the know, you'll catch Normal Mode at a private ArtPrize event this weekend 😁)

Happy to be back at Dunesville this Saturday!

I’m gonna be rocking the stage with Loren Kranz AND Earth Radio, so you’ll get to see me jump from soulful rock/New Orleans flare to progressive R&B! Always a fun time with both groups, hope to see you there!

This week, there are two awesome releases dropping from two fantastic, fierce artists I met during my time in Kalamazoo!

Here's what reviews you can find on my website:

- The talented crew in Fake Baseball are dropping their next single, "Sign 'Em," on June 12th, which is just in time for their show at Bell's with Earth Radio and After Ours on June 15th!
- Sami Calamity unleashes their debut record, Arachnirithmitic, on June 14th!

You can see reviews for both releases using the links below and get hype for their releases by learning more about how these artists crafted these tunes alongside stellar bands!

Out and about this week solo and with Normal Mode!

You can catch me here:

May 15th - Live at The Old Goat (also streaming on FB!)
May 18th - JORDAN HAMILTON * NORMAL MODE * BRANDON FITZPATRICK at The Lucky Wolf in Paw Paw
May 19th - Jordan Hamilton, Normal Mode, Brandon Fitzpatrick at Ruggers Up and Under in Kalamazoo!

Click on the event pages for details, I may just go ahead and make a recurring FB event for The Old Goat, would that be helpful for folks to tune in weekly?

See you out there folks! Also, I'm closing in on just over halfway towards purchasing my dad's vehicle. I'll have some more things up for sale, including leftover "Pass the Dutchie" shirt stock from a collab that never really materialized that will come with assorted sticker artwork that used to only be available to patrons on my Patreon!

Alright, carry on with your day!

Morning folks!

In case you missed it, Josiah DeNooyer has a Kickstarter rolling for his upcoming record "Fragments," and I wrote a review about it on my website!

If you're a fan of mixed chamber ensembles, deep emotional and musical wellsprings, and the electricity of a live, in-studio concert environment capturing these moments, you'll love this record!

Check out the review linked below, and don't forget too that I also published a recent review of "Knuckle Sandwich" by The Burdens.

Lots of music out there folks, we're all doing our best to put it in front of the algorithmic gods 😂❤
