The first two and a half years of The Secret Lair (2016-2018) were made in a one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn after a career upset that left me scratching my head as to whether or not I should abandon music and find a "real" job.
Those 30 episodes were what I needed to get my groove back. I read a ton of books. Wrote over 150 songs. Learned how to create, every day from the blank page and the silent room. I became the songwriter I only pretended to be before that. Since it ended, a lot has change. My wife and I had a baby. She left her dream job in New York and we moved our family to Atlanta so that we could be home with our son and that I could tour with The Midnight. Also, maybe you heard, there was a pandemic.
So, same format. At least three new songs written and produced each month with an audio essay. BUT there's one difference. I know exactly how many episodes I'm making. I have an end in mind. I also have a real Secret Lair now- my basement in an old house. I want to connect. I want the rhythm of creation. I want to meditate hard on one theme a month again, and I want to be able to release sketches back into the universe. This project made me better in so many ways. However, this is a forward moving project. I have some new, specific goals in mind, and I want you to join me. This is a way longer pitch than it needed to be. This theme will come up a lot.
You get me working 40 hours a week doing the thing I love most in the world to do; maybe you get to hear some early sketches that will one day become big anthems we sing together under a shiny disco ball in the post pandemic future; AAAAND you'll be invited to a party, a big one (or if only a few people join, a small one). That's it! Come join me on the road. This time I'm going to need a lot more crowd participation.
