Been a quiet one this week; work is dragging, as people are already starting to take their holiday time off. I’ve been spending my time putting ongoing projects into stasis and getting the last of the year-end stuff done before I pop out after next week. I’ve also been feeling pretty darned terrible; something has […]

So on Saturday (before, one should note, the actual Articles were introduced) my friend and I did a thing: Impeachment Carols by D.J. McGuire D.J., internet-famous political pundit, Filk Ferret, and genuinely all-around good guy, writes a lot of songs; his particular specialty is parody, but he’s got some excellent originals as well. These tunes […]

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! […]

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 […]

As I do every year, because it’s really, really important, I am posting this friendly reminder to all of you out there to get out and vote, because that’s what responsible people do. Sure the big show is next year, but that doesn’t mean that these off-year elections aren’t important; in fact, they are very […]
