This week on Substack, the story of how a night out drinking with
@MikeMcCreadyPJ
ultimately led to a record deal with Brendan O’Brien at Rick Rubin’s American Recordings. (Here is a pic of me signing said record deal.) Also on Substack, an early demo of “So I Am Over You.”

If you'd like to hear what "Fading Fast" sounds like with just vocals, guitar and a beatbox, mosey over to Love Songs Etc on Substack, where I posted the demo that would become the basic track for the single. petedroge.substack.com. Peace & Love Songs, Pete

It’s Substack launch week, day five! Today Find a Door fans get a treat. It’s a “Mr. Jade” threefer: acoustic demo, Sinners live and the music video. Plus, read about the movie placement that almost was. Here's a hint… they didn't show me the money. All on my Substack.

I served as co-producer on yet another fine Chris Ballew long player. The man is on fire churning out quality rock and roll. This is his fourth solo album since July of 2021! I'm honored to have had a small part in bringing this music into the world.

Elaine Summers and I celebrated 30 years together yesterday. Here we are kissing on our 7 month anniversary in the very spot where we met. (The Living Room at La Luna.) Happy anniversary, my love.
