SUBSTACK
My Substack newsletter, Love Songs Etc, is where the action is. Check it out HERE.
What is Substack? It’s like a newsletter mixed with a blog mixed with bologna. Mine is called Love Songs Etc. It’s like a boxed set mixed with a memoir mixed with bologna.
Sign up for free and my posts will arrive directly in your email inbox every couple of weeks. Paid subscribers enjoy perks like early bird tickets, high-resolution downloads of rarities, and new music before it’s released.
Substack is an oasis in the digital landscape. It’s ad-free and chock-full of calorie-rich content: music, art, literature, sports, finance, technology, health, fashion, humor, philosophy, politics and more. If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend you do.
LIVE & IN-PERSON
Tickets are on sale now for my upcoming show at The Triple Door in Seattle. Tickets HERE.
I was thrilled to play on the mainstage at Thing Festival at Remlinger Farms in Carnation, Washington on Friday, 8/9/24. I wrote about my experiences playing Thing on SUBSTACK.
I’ve posted a handful of video clips from last March’s show at Vashon Center for the Arts to my YouTube channel.
Elaine Summers and I performed “Two of the Lucky Ones” at a fundraiser for Vashon Center for the Arts on 6/1/24. We also donated a private house concert that went for big bucks. We’re playing said house concert this Thursday (8/29/24) for an audience of twelve.
NEW RECORD
My co-producer Paul Bryan and I recently completed mixing my new ten-song album, which is currently in the hands of mastering engineer Dave Cooley. I am blessed to be joined by a fantastic group of musicians on this outing. I could not help but drop names like crazy in this post on SUBSTACK.
ON VINYL
A limited-edition 45-rpm colored vinyl single is out on Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready’s HockeyTalkter Records. “Lonely Mama” graces the A-side. Check out the new video directed by John Jeffcoat and featuring Caitlin Jeffcoat playing my birth mother circa 1970 HERE. I wrote about the writing and recording of “Lonely Mama” on SUBSTACK. “Skeleton Crew” is on the B-side. You may remember I released it as a digital single back in March of 2020.
ON CD (& STREAMERS)
The Droge & Summers Blend Volume Three is out now on compact disc. You can pick one up on BANDCAMP. We’ve compiled volumes 1-3 into one digital release called The Droge & Summers Blend Sessions (Volumes 1-3). Find it on your favorite streamer or digital store HERE.
NECKTIE SECOND
My debut album, Necktie Second, turns 30 this year. To celebrate, I shared my recollections of making the record on SUBSTACK. Later, I’ll share memories of the tours that supported the album.
I think that is all the news that is fit to print. I hope to see you over on SUBSTACK.
Peace & Love Songs,
Pete
