RELEASES First Blues - self-released last August. Available online from CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon. A second album of all-original material is half-written, and will be recorded in October. A video for the forthcoming single 'Where Is Jesus?' will be directed by multi-award- winning creative Nick Hearne.
