Milwaukee Brewers Playoffs Tickets On Sale and Fear the Beer is off to the presses!

The Milwaukee Brewers clinched the NL Central and secured a bye in the first round of the playoffs this week. NLDS tickets just went on sale this morning. Also this morning, I went to Sooper Dooper and approved the final art and sound for my brand new Brewers-themed CD, Fear the Beer: A Musical Salute to the Milwaukee Brewers! As hoped, I'll have physical copies in hand and ready to ship BEFORE the regular season ends this Sunday!

This solo project was lovingly crafted from concept to physical object in just four weeks. I stayed up many of those nights writing new Brewers songs, singing and picking electric and acoustic guitars and upright bass, heavily editing the backing tracks, hiring musicians to play specific parts via Fiverr, and recording friends in my living room (many thanks again to Randy Finley, Andrew Harrison, and Art Stevenson for laying down some hot fiddle, guitar, and harmonica!!). My nephew Ethan spent his time recording my vocals, overdubbing his own guitar parts, editing everything together, re-mixing, and mastering all the tunes until we landed on something we both really liked. It's a total bedroom-project rush-job, and yet... I really dig these tunes and loved working on them with Ethan!

It's a labor of love project and is meant to serve as a soundtrack for the 2025 MLB Playoffs, to pay tribute to a team that has been an absolute pleasure to follow all season, and as a reminder to make time for the things that bring joy in life. Making this CD brought me a lot of joy and hopefully listening to it does the same for you!
