The best I can say about this week is that it’s gone by quickly. I haven’t accomplished much of anything, to be honest. Oh well, the last couple of weeks have been pretty busy; I should just enjoy the quiet. Some good news related to projects I’ve been involved with the last couple of months, […]

Welcome! My debut solo record is now available, and may be purchased in the following ways: as a digital download via my bandcamp page (currently free or name your price, in this age of pandemic) as a physical cd via kunaki or you can find me in person, at a show, on the street, wherever! […]

The long weekend was, for the most part relaxing, particularly Thursday and Friday, where I mostly hung about, doing laundry, watching MST3K, and cooking tasty food. Was offline for the most part, though I did take advantage of a couple of small black friday online deals, but nothing particularly serious. Saturday, we hung out with […]

Currently in the process of tidying things up for my short holiday work week, which has been, if I’m being honest, kind of a waste of time.  I’ve spent most of it tying up loose ends like required “Ethics Training” and sending messages to folks who are already off brining turkeys and celebrating European conquest […]

As we returned home from Atomacon on Sunday evening, I’m confident in saying that it was a reasonably successful endeavor. For a person who’s not particularly well-known as a solo performer outside of a relatively small community, I ended my Friday “main” show with more people in the room than when I started, and I […]

It’s Friday. If you’re reading this entry contemporaneous to it’s posting, I’m either on my way to, or already at Atomacon in North Charleston, SC, where I’ve been scheduled as the Special Filk Guest for this year’s festivities. I’m looking forward to it, though a little intimidated; although I’ve been playing regularly as myself for […]

World's Okayest… by Chuck Parker By the time you read this, my first solo record, World’s Okayest…, will have gone live on bandcamp for digital sales. It’s a weird feeling; exciting and intimidating. Although I’ve played all of these songs live dozens of times (and it took me years to get the confidence up to […]

By the time you read this, the project I’ve been hinting at, Songs of the Faithless, the new record by Jonah Knight will have, after being up a couple of hours, will have already hit it’s goal on Kickstarter, but it’s totally worth sharing anyway. Jonah, as you’ve probably heard, is a scarily talented musician […]

So Saturday involved running the soundboard for two competition stages at the Feis for twelve and a half hours. Of course, I’m happy to do it, as it is my Dance Dad (and Spouse) Duty™, and it lets the dance school save a few bucks not having to rent the equipment. Still, sitting there digging […]

Has honestly been a pretty good week, when it comes right down to it. Apart from the fact that as he attended to higher-end management stuff in the C suite, I ended up sitting in for the boss on all kinds of other high-level meetings all week. I have had my fill of briefing big […]
