Hello there you rather cunning piece of humanity. It has come to my attention that this site hasn't been updated for a while so I thought I would remove last summer's shows off the "shows" page and drop a little line right here to break up confusion. "The Common Thread" was my attempt two years ago and more at starting a band and running with it. I believed in it so much that instead of putting my own name on my debut EP "Learning to Let Go," I went ahead and put "The Common Thread" on the cover and now there are like millions of CD's going around the world with that band title on it. I still like that band name and all, but I figured as long as I have been playing shows for a long time under my own independent name that I would clear up any confusion here.
