I had just spent an entire day running a promotional blitz to try and push a song from my new album into the iTunes and Amazon charts. Hundreds of people had volunteered their hard-earned 99¢, some of them even grabbing the whole album in the process, and through it all I got to watch the love pouring in from Twitter, Google+, and text messages. Truly, I have the best fans ever invented.

To cap off the Epic Day of Much Hype™, I performed a full streaming concert on UStream, YouTube Live, and Google Hangouts, thanks to the wonderful Lynette Radio. To say the least, I was exhausted, but I didn’t care… I had two or three full chat rooms, a full mug of my own beer, and a new studio set to play in. I wish every Wednesday could be like that!

If you ended up reading this because you’re pissed at the 620-megabyte download you just got on your iTunes feed, my apologies. Otherwise, congratulations! You’re now able to download videos of UStream shows when I remember to record them. If you like this kinda thing, please let me know. And, of course, you can always catch the LIVE shows by tuning in when they happen.

Check my online calendar for performance dates.

A hurricane is coming, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still have fun in my own basement. The cameras are rolling, the coffee is flowing, and it’s an all-request night live on the intertubes! Yes, I’m shilling for the Aeropress throughout the show, but that’s just because I just got one and they’re fooking awesome.

Bonus: All-Access and higher members will get the first ever UStream video recording in their feed as well!

It’s been a while since I released a UStream recording. Since Megaplex isn’t until the end of the month, I might as well send one out now! This show in particular turned out pretty well, bad mic connector notwithstanding. While I miss the warm-body crowds, it’s always a fun show when people show up for the digital jam session.

Hey, you remember 2010? It seems like only a year ago. Well, a few weeks ago. But I’m talking about January 2010, a time when flooding was the last thing I ever thought I’d have to deal with and I was only giving out 3 free songs for email signups.

It also happens that I played a 2-hour UStream show for over 9,000 viewers. Yeah, not a typo. See for yourself, but at this point only the Entourage and the Robot Army can listen to Part 1. Oh yeah, they didn’t exist back then either.

At long last, here’s the second half of that concert. Enjoy!

As 2010 winds down, so does the convention lineup. I’m working very hard on the new album, rehearsing with a drummer for live shows we’ll book in 2011, and trying to keep my subscribers as happy as possible. One thing they keep asking for is another UStream concert, so I’m only too happy to deliver!

Once again the folks down in Atlanta pooled their resources and massive amounts of raw fish to bring me down for another show. With an even bigger crowd than last time, the poor living room must’ve felt as bloated as we were after all those sushi rolls. No matter, the show must go on!

Yeah, this month it’s another UStream recording, but this one’s got more robots! I’ve been changing my entire live setup to try and bring back the robot drummer, so this month’s recording is the first step in that direction. Sure, I’d love to use a real drummer, but I’m working on that!

With the advent of a new year, it’s time to change the setup. Since I’m going to be playing a lot more live-in-person shows this year, I’m working on a setup that’s more organic. With just my piano and voice, I was able to rock out for two solid hours for an amazing number of UStream viewers.

Since the show was so long, this one will be uploaded in two parts. This month you’ll get the first half, an hour chock full of new tunes and old favorites!
