Ampersand Sessions: Fake Problems →
More acoustic fun! This one includes two new songs. Huge thanks to The Ruckus for always being the best.
Sleepover Show #75 w/ Fake Problems →
I did this session back in May, in Cambridge Mass. These people were so nice to me, and this is definitely one of the coolest “acoustic session” type websites out right now. After you watch this one, check out the Tim Kasher session - it’s hilarious and awesome.

Anonymous asked: More of a general statement/thank you than a question... but... I just wanted to say no matter how rotten I'm feeling, how bad the day has decided to turn, or how close to the edge of a breakdown I am, I know I can come here or listen to you guys and will instantly feel better. Whether you make me laugh, cry (in a good way), or sing along I can pretty much forget all the shit that goes on for...

WatchPropertyOfZack came to our Mercury Lounge show in NYC last month, and recorded me playing “Too Cold To Hold”. Enjoy!
P.S. This would have been perfect if Joey from the Pomegranates didn’t barge in like some sort of maniac rock star at the beginning. Just kidding, love those guys!
