Below is some of the music that I create alone, and with my father, Rob as Brothers K. Also below are some thoughts and impressions on some albums that have stood out to me over the years.

Besides running UM, I am also 1/2 of the Folk band Brothers K. I’ve been playing music for over 20 years, and loved (almost) every minute. Musically influenced by my band mate and father, Dr. K (as well as life in general), I sing songs inspired by life and death…and also ones I just make up all by my lonesome that don’t have anything to do with anything at all. I prefer to gig with my dad, Rob, but I’m 1,000 miles away from Brothers K home base. Therefore, every once in a while, a guy’s gotta go it alone.

Top 20 Albums of 2015

2015 was a pretty damn good year for music. From World to wonderful to “Who the Hell was that?!?”

Although there were tons of good albums out last year, these are my personal favorites. These are the ones that stuck out to me, & found their way into my player on more than one occasion. They are (in absolutely no particular order):

The Harvest Season Band – Let Your Love Burn Bright
