2025 was a fantastic year for this Rugged Gent. Thanks to all the folks that reached out via social media saying howdy. It really helps in keeping me grounded and feeling grateful for being able to make some great music for everyone.

The new album is doing great. Hoping everyone can help by pitching it to playlists. That seems to be the thing now-a-days. Plus keep reaching out letting me know about cool places to play in your town, and/or cool bands that I could join up with doing shows.

Got some very cool new merch out. Take a look at the Rugged Store for new designs, colors and stuff.

*SPECIAL OFFER* - buy an album plus a shirt and I'll throw in one of my limited supply red TWANG bandanas ($10 value). Join the TWANG GANG.

Lastly, tell someone you care about that you love them. Especially if you haven't spoken to them in a while. Take just five seconds to remember how they touched your life and what they mean to you.

Let's make 2026 a fantastic year. All your help and encouragement is keeping me energized. Look for new singles coming out by summertime. Stay warm out there! J
