"Counting Backwards"

Hey everybody! I hope all is well and thanks to those of you that came out to the show in Bowling Green on Saturday night!! It was a great time and Stillhouse Hollow torn the roof off the place! We can't wait to get back and play there again!

Yesterday, I sat for a bit and wrote a new song called "Counting Backwards". I almost titled it "The Space Song" but that just didn't feel right (Bean totally vetoed that title anyway...haha). Below is a link to an mp3 demo. Hope you like it and please share it with friends!!

New Song!! "Too Drunk"

I said last week that I was going to write a song over the weekend but I never got around to it. I finally got a chance to sit and work on an idea that's been kicking around for a bit. Bean and I were at The Swell Season show a few weeks back and she said, "I hope I get too drunk to cry". Needless to say, I thought that could be an awesome song lyric. Below is a link to what I did with it:
