As always, we were incredibly honored to play live in studio on KEXP 90.3, the best radio station in the world. I also feel pretty damn lucky to have had such an amazing crew with me for this one. Click on the pic below to watch the full performance!

HAPPY MONDAY!!! THERE IS A NEW HIT FOR YOUR EARS!!! Official release day is Friday, August 14th, but you can stream it this week at PasteMagazine.com!
You guys know John Roderick, right? He's the smarty pants who produced my first record, Burn the Boats, and frontman for the beloved Seattle band, The Long Winters. Well, I recently had the pleasure of joining John on his live podcast show, Roderick's Rendezvous, and we had a grand old time! The audio is now up online and you can check it out HERE.
One million smooches,
-- Earl
Looking forward to hitting the West Coast again this Spring... and with the STELLAR Elliott BROOD no less!
See your purty faces SOON!
-- Earl
We're playing Seattle on Friday! A full-band show! I recommend getting your tix in advance for this one as rumor has it that a sell-out is imminent (And yes! NEW SONGS WILL BE PLAYED!).
I hope your year is off to a wonderful start!

Many of you already know the story behind my song & album (of the same name) "Burn the Boats." Over the past few years the song has become a bit of an anthem at my live shows, but the album was already tracked when I wrote it, so only a little snippet made it on the record (in the form of an outro). The full song has never been released in recorded form, UNTIL NOW!!!
I'm happy to announce that I've joined forces with the fine folks at London Tone Music to record & release a full-length/full-band version of "Burn the Boats," as a part of their 52x52 project, and it's available on iTunes starting TODAY! The wonderful Jonathan Plum produced and helped me to completely re-imagine the song arrangement. My hope is that even those of you who have heard it many times will hear new life in this version.
Enjoy!
