Album coming on 11/1/11!
On November 1, 2011 I will be releasing my first album online titled "Follow the River Bend". The musical style is folk-inpsired acoustic music.
I'm still working on it, but it is the culmination of a year of work, of songwriting, of playing instruments, and learning. Lots of learning and listening went into each and every second of this album (which clocks in at just over 30 minutes -- ten songs total), and I am thrilled to add this album release to the diverse list of things I've tackled over the past few years.
This past weekend I took a break from the album work to do some "extra" songwriting, and I was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in many ways, so I wrote a song about it. Here are the words:
"I Will Not Leave"
Hey friend, come down and stay a while
Hey friend, come down and play a while
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me
Hey friends, come to see
All the things that are bothering me
Hey friends, want to know
Why I'm here to take control
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me
We've all paid our dues
And we handed the power to you
Company man...it's time
It's time we get it back
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me

Tribeca Flashpoint Student Team Wins U.S Imagine Cup Game Design Competition!
I am so proud and thrilled to share that a team of students at Tribeca Flashpoint won first place in Game Design at the 2011 U.S. Imagine Cup competition!
Team Bloom used XNA to design Spero, a game that focuses on making a difference one step at a time by having players help find alternative energy solutions, keep the environment clean and educate people on how to live healthier lives.
http://www.imaginecup.com/community/blog/microsoft-names-u-s-imagine-cup-winners
These are the talented students, mentored by the extremely talented professor Darryl Hughes, who won the competition: Andrew Zurek, Nathan Moore, David Grund and Nathan Heyl. Great work guys!!! It was a privilege having them in class during their first year at Tribeca Flashpoint, and at that time I expected greatness from each of them.
Gentlemen, this is just the beginning!
