I have quit my job to tour full time. It means there are
days I eat on a $1 or less, but that's ok. I love doing it, and I am the
happiest I have ever been! In an effort to get gas money, and give you a
great deal on my music, I am having a huge ($5, $4, $3, $2, $1) sale on all of my albums:
I am now on
Twitter. I have replaced my old PHP based news with the Twitter widget
on the right for now. It requires Flash 9 to use. I will post the
latest information there, and give last minute reminders about shows there as
well.

For those who don't know me, I am Mission Man. My lyrics are very personal, and I
play all of my own instruments, including the bass, guitar, keyboard, and
electric drums. I love making music, and I use it as a form of self-expression.
I have grown tremendously as a person and a musician because of this. Outside of
my family and best friends, music is the most important thing in my life.

Playing For a Cure was Saturday
September 29th, 2007, at the Balcony in Oxford, OH! The event raised $147 for the American Cancer Society. That
brings the 4 year total to $657! (year 1 was $0) Thank you to everyone for
making the event a success, and for making the night a ton of fun!
I'm
now recording "31 Hours Til What." I'm taking a different approach for this
album, and performing songs before they are done, so I can revise them after
each live performance to give the album the best live feel possible. Each song
could evolve until the album is finished (probably in the spring of 2010). The
title comes from when I had 31 hours left of work at Papa John's, and was
uncertain what the future would hold. I have since moved to Chicago, had many
things fall apart, and then left that life to live on the road and tour through
a combination of open mics and full shows. I don't know what the next step
is, and right now I don't care. I'm the happiest I've ever been!
I was on Dave and Jimmy's morning show on Monday, October 22nd,
2007, performing Chillin' at the Papa live at 7:30 am.
See video from it here or
download it directly here. Thanks for having me in Dave and Jimmy! Hello
also to Patrick, Kelsey, Gandhi, and Chachi!
One of the most common questions I get is "How do you make your
music?" so I put up a full answer
here.
16 DAYS IN A MINIVAN: There's video, pictures, detailed stories, applesauce and raisins, a hit and
run, graffiti art, sleeping in a van, brushing my teeth at a rest area,
overdrafting, car troubles, and much more.
Enjoy!
