Clocks by Coldplay from their 2002 Grammy Award winning album, A Rush Of Blood To The Head. It’s always been a favorite of mine! I also love the Rhythms Del Mundo (Salsa Version).

Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend from their 2019 album, Father Of The Bride. I always thought they were a fascinating band and this song is especially great. We had some help from the amazing Clay Willis on guitar, guest vocalists Alaina Gunter and Christa Russell and special guest cameos from my friends Charles Gaby and Katsuk. Special thanks to Greg Luce for helping me shoot this video!

A deep cut from Pink Floyd’s 1971 album Meddle. I shot all my footage at 2X speed then slowed it back down to give the effect of slo-mo while still singing and playing in time – what a cool trick! I also tuned my guitars to an open G chord. Apparently that’s what Roger Waters did after Syd Barrett showed him. Sounds pretty good!
Big thanks to C Todd Kirk for recommending this song to us!

Our cover of Radiate by the very fantastic Jack Johnson from his 2013 album From Here To Now To You. We’ve been cranking out homemade videos for the past year while cooped up in our houses not being able to play for you. We miss being out there so much. So in the meantime this is our gift to you! Not sure if you can tell, but I shaved my face in stages over the course of the first verse and intro. Thought it would be funny 🙂
