about

Through the Prism of Excellence, With a Penchant for Debauchery was recorded during the pandemic of 2020, assisted by musician and bandmate Joe Drescher. The album comprises a mix of new and older tunes, with a refreshing and caustic view of musicianship and non-clarity.

I want to thank Blake for your continued friendship, advice, and musical guidance throughout the years and for this project. And a big shout out to my friend and bandmate Joe L Drescher, who provided musical input and impeccable musicianship throughout the project. It has been a fantastic and fun process recording this album and I hope everyone who dons a listen enjoys it with bated breath!
