Love Shack Breakdown Intro
Hey, remember that time I played a bass fill so deep in the pocket I came out covered in lint? Yeah... That was awesome. It's not the greatest fill ever played or anything, but I listened to playback and I remembered how important it is to #PlayWithJoy. #CHS #Renaissance #ShowChoir #ImBackBaby #arrangement #popmusic #coversong #LoveShack #B52s #80s #eightiesmusic
Wildflowers (String Quartet) – Promo Video
A surprise hit from my catalog, I thought it was time to create a promo video for this great song by Tom Petty. Wildflowers, wasn't a massive chart hit for Petty (It only reached #16, but it did so despite not being released as an official single), but this tender song is a popular, uplifting ballad. This string quartet arrangement is great for weddings, cocktail hours, or events. This arrangement can be purchased at:

Silent Night (2022) – Instrumental
Conceived years ago but only fully realized this year, this "Silent Night" arrangement is a deeply personal track for me. There is tension in this narrative; a virgin mother, a newborn savior, an unsafe trek through perilous country, a manger bed, a king worshipped by shepherds... This night is one of reflection, adoration, and an understanding that while we can't understand it all we can grasp the underlying truth: Emmanuel! God is with us!
