I’d had this video idea in mind for months, and when it came time to make it a reality the timing was perfect. New Year, new outlook. It was time to throw off the bad bits of 2022 and be as utterly silly as we liked. Who cares? I’m…

The story of the record the shops didn’t want. On Wednesday I received the news from my distributor that they only need 150 copies of my new album “One In A Thousand” on vinyl and 200 copies on CD to go into record shops. Because as a super indie label…
