Honky Tonkin’ State of Mind

New music from Michael Rawlings! Thanks for recording it with me at North Bank Songs.

JUNE! I’ll be playing Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, and Dobro with my band Art Motel this Friday (Art Motel @ Flappers) in Mt. Vernon, then at the Buckeye Lake Eagles FOE 2801 for their Jimmy Buffett party on Saturday, 6-10pm, with Mike Nicklaus on Drums. Tell them you are a guest of the band, then think about joining the Eagles!

Sunday brings me to The Barn-Zanesville to wrap up a very musical weekend, NOW 5-8p. Hope to see everyone out and about! Enjoy Spring while it lasts!!

AND, David Cooper is joining forces with me on the 13th! It’s gonna be a fun and busy month.

First Day of Elementary School (K), and Last Day of Elementary School (5th)!

New paths ahead, and I can’t wait to see who you become!

David Spires at the Island House! – bring your pirate outfit and your pirate attitude!

Friday 5/6p until we walk the plank!

Working on a really fun tune with Mike Nicklaus and the guys from Barely Broken, Davis Eckert and guitarist Chris McDonald. Productive way to spend a grey sky Sunday on Buckeye Lake.

Producing and recording music gets me going!  It’s an exciting challenge to listen to another musician and try to understand what they’re saying about where they want a song to go. The process is not just listening but truly understanding. My job is to translate that into a production.

Fantastic day spent with these guys.

Creative goals matter. Michael Rawlings is sticking with his plans to record and release one song a month. “Ques Est Deus?”, started the year. February 21st, “Delusions of Grandeur” hit streaming platforms. And the 22nd brought him back to record, “Hell or High Water”.

Check out all these and more on your preferred streaming platform. He’s booked for the year and I can’t wait to make more music with him.
