Billboard Charts® And Tour Dates!

I can’t believe this is true, but it is! Thanks to everyone who listened, and especially to those who bought a copy of There Is No Feeling Better in it’s first week of life, we actually made a couple of appearances on Billboard’s Famous Music Charts! Just truly unreal. I’m flattered and dumbfounded. Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to say that “Old Town Road” is and always has been a Country & Western song.

AND THAT’S NOT ALL!

Also, in support of There Is No Feeling Better, me and The Boys are hitting the road in September for a few midwest and east coast live dates! Here they are!

New Cover Songs, and Live Recording!

I’m very excited and honored that the incomparable, Aquarium Drunkard, invited me to participate in their ongoing Lagniappe Sessions series, for which I recorded 4 brand new cover songs. They’re all streaming and/or available to download (right click, “save as…”) RIGHT HERE alongside some words I jotted down about each tune. Please love them, ok? Here are the songs I covered:

“The Lights Go Down” - Electric Light Orchestra
”I’m Young” - Erin Tobey
”Lento” - Julieta Venegas
”All My Only Dreams” - The Wonders

ALSO!

Two days before There Is No Feeling Better came out, I went on our local community radio station, WFHB, and did an interview with Jessie Grubb (who also took this photo) which included me playing through about half the new record solo-acoustic style. The session is streaming and available for download now at WFHB.org if you’d like to hear it/have it!

There Is No Feeling Better is out NOW!

I’m beyond happy to tell you that There Is No Feeling Better is now out into the world to be loved, critiqued, hated, denigrated, and compared & contrasted against my personal existence from now until eternity (which, as I understand it is about 30 more years, give or take)! In truth I’m extremely proud of this album and all of the people it took to create it. It took a long time to make, but I feel like the balancing act between High Quality Output® and Maximum Fun® was struck here with finesse. What I mean is, this album was a lot of fun to make and there were very few frivolous stresses. For my money, that’s a perfect experience.

The album is streaming in full right up above here, or at Bandcamp.com where you can also purchase the LP, CD, or digital versions.

I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to say about it once the dust settles, and my nerves calm, and folks get a chance to sit with this thing for a minute. But for now…

THANK YOU!



New Single + Video, "Wonderful To Love", Out Now!

Hi! The latest single from There Is No Feeling Better, which is called, Wonderful To Love is out now with a music video and everything. All the footage in the video is from a reel of Super 8 film that my parents rediscovered and had digitized when they moved a few years ago. It features little Mike Adams running around Kings Island, hanging with my family, having a party, and doing some manual labor.

You can hear the single and watch the video right up there above these words, or you can find it on your favorite streaming service, or have your rich friend burn you a CD-R of it.
