100 Song Challenge 2025

That’s right — one hundred songs.

Some will be new. Some are old favorites that never saw the light of day. Some will be polished. Others will be more raw and immediate. But they’ll all be real. And they’ll all be released.

This challenge was born from a lot of reflection.

Over the past few years, I fell behind creatively. Since my major label debut in 2012, I’ve written more music than I can count — but perfectionism, life challenges, and periods of depression kept me from sharing it. I wish I had released an album a year. I think I could have. But I didn’t.

Last year was especially hard: I lost my mother. My personal life went through upheaval. My child’s health was uncertain. And all of it forced me to re-evaluate who I am and what I’m here to offer.

The final nudge came when Jill Sobule passed away. It made something crystal clear: time is short. No more waiting.

100 songs. One year. One voice — mine — finally showing up fully.

And yes, it’s not just about dropping tracks into the void. I want this process to be interactive.

My Patreon, which lay dormant for a while, is now becoming the hub for everything — early releases, behind-the-scenes moments, creative experiments, and collaborations. I’m bringing back my digital choir, and I’ll be inviting you — my friends, fans, supporters, and peers — to be part of the journey in real, creative ways.

In the coming month, I’ll be rebuilding my Patreon from the ground up to make it a truly collaborative space. You can join right now to support me — and yes, you can even join for free.

The first official entry in this creative marathon is Spring Songs on the Fly — an album I just released on Bandcamp. And it’s free.
