Expect the unexpected. Clarinets and power chords. Banjo and delta blues. earth.boy's songs are unique combinations of familiar sounds. No two are alike yet there is a common thread that unites them. From jazz to punk and everything in between, earth.boy is always listenable and often contagious.
My latest album, Music Box Memory, will soon be available on all streaming services and is featured on my Audio page. It is a fusion of jazz, acoustic and world music. Earlier this year I released String Things, which is all things strings, including acoustic and electric guitars, resonator guitar, lap steel guitar, banjo, mandolin and ukulele as well as violins and cellos.
In 2023 I released my take on soul music, Soul Nouvelle, a fusion of classic 60's soul with hints of rock, funk, pop, jazz and even a little country. I also released two jazz albums, The Virtue of Simplicity and City of Glass, as well as Translucent, a solo improvisational piano performance along the lines of what has been characterized as the "third stream"--a fusion of jazz and classical traditions. I opened 2023 with the release of Café au Lait, an homage to Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli,
In 2022 I released Reflections, a collection of original jazz tunes, An Epistle to Whimsy, a collection of mostly acoustic whimsies, A Joyful Sound, a collection of 24 original jazz and acoustic compositions, Blues in a Jar, a collection of 12 original blues tunes with an emphasis on acoustic and resonator guitar, and Mystery & Ambiguity, a unique fusion of ambient acoustic, electric and classical sounds.
My tastes are eclectic and so are my albums. Planet of Gypsies, Love Is a Kind of Lonesome, Simply Yours, 2020, Pássaro Do Jazz and Planet Jazz are all jazz-oriented. Old Wine New Bottles and Homespun showcase my take on Americana, Reggae Planet needs no explanation, True North and Rainforest Chronicles are acoustic and my earlier albums are a mix of rock, blues, jazz and country.
Just go to the audio page, where all of the albums (or, if you prefer, individual tracks) can be downloaded for free. Or stream on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Qobuz or any of the other streaming services.
