I am honored to have collaborated with legendary bassist Mike Watt and an incredible group of musicians on my latest project (working title BATTERIE). Each song started as a drum beat by different drummers, then a bass line by Watt, and I then curated the recordings with further remote and in-person collaborations. The result is an astounding array of musical creativity. I am currently in conversation with several labels about possible releases. (Please contact me if interested.) 
Collaborators include: Nels Cline (Wilco), Georgia Hubley (Yo La Tengo), Tony Scalzo (Fastball), Kenny Wollesen (Tom Waits, Sean Lennon, Ron Sexsmith), Yuval Lion (Chrissie Hynde, Sharon Jones, Cibbo Matto), Robert Walter (Greyboy Allstars, Roger Waters band) and many others. Mixed by Ryan Mall with help from Chris Stromquist, Robert Gill, and Quentin Jennings.
