RIP Joel M. Smith 

My close friend and bandmate, Joel Martin Smith, has passed.  My heart and prayers go out to his daughter Alex and family.

He was an incredibly talented musician and songwriter.  One of the best slide guitarists there ever was.  He was also a master carpenter - he built my studio.  

I will miss him dearly.

Courtney Hanley, Pamela Sklar and Ken Eichler collaborate on "Georgia On My Mind" 

The latest project out of Sliding Door Studios is a terrific version of "Georgia On My Mind" featuring Courtney Hanley on vocals, Pamela Sklar on Flute, and Ken Eichler on guitar.

Also featuring Glenn Eichler on bass and Paul Connors on piano and organ, this track pays homage to the Ray Charles version recorded in the 60s.

Thanks to all the fantastic musicians involved.

Wendy Moten is a four chair turn tonight on The Voice. Congrats! 

I had the pleasure of playing a gig with Wendy Moten about 10 years ago.  She was phenomenal.  Tonight she landed a spot on Blake Shelton's team on the Voice.  Congratulations, Wendy!  No one deserves it more than you.

"When Love Turns to Sin" gets placed two weeks in a row on Showtime's hit series "City On A Hill" 

Tom Nicks and I were very fortunate to get our song placed in Showtime's hit series "City On A Hill" last week.  We were even more excited to find out it was on for a second week in a row in the season finale.  Check out the bar scenes in each episode and you'll hear our tune "When Love Turns To Sin" playing in the background.

What do Kevin Bacon, T. Nicks and Ken Eichler have in common? Answer: Showtime's "City on a Hill" 

My songwriting partner Tom Nicks‘ and my song “When Love Turns to Sin” will be featured on the new episode of City on a Hill (starring Kevin Bacon) on Showtime this Sunday night, May 9.

Hope you enjoy!
