In 2001, Julianne left town. She took Caden with her. And rightfully so. I was a financial, emotional and spritual mess. I wanted them close, but there was not a lot I could do. What I didn’t expect was how my brain would react. Every stranger with a kid that […]
Ladies and gentlemen, Obolers, children of all ages, There is a cover song contest! It’s like American Idol, sort of. The guys thought it would be a good idea to play a song that people might recognize but never expect, and since then we’ve been having fun trying to determine […]
Once upon a time, in a far off distant realm called Texas, there lived a boy. He had a vibrant imagination. So you can imagine how unpleasant his life was until he went to college. Needless to say, this young man became addicted to a series of distractions and supplements, […]

After careful consideration, drummer Josh Zampino has decided to step out of Obol. Josh has been my lieutenant and advisor on the Obol songs since he joined the project, and to say he will be missed is a gross understatement. The timing for these things is never good, and this […]
This month we recorded the last of the drums for Album #1, and I just uploaded the new mixes for both Revoluçión and Wasted. Definitely check them out. When we get the last of the drums worked into the songs, the next step will be mastering, and then, we should […]
The Obol song that almost wasn’t, Lover has undergone more re-writes, shelvings and unshelvings than any other Obol track.
