The “Vader” Mix
The “Reconnect”
January is always a time for what I refer to as the “Reconnect.” You know….the Gettup. More for me than just “what happened in 2016 and what will happen in 2017,” but more a month for me to look at everything in it’s current state and make decisions on where it’s going to go.
Rather than reflect on the music, I think about the song I haven’t written yet, and look forward to the next bend in the road. I also think about all the people who are a part of my story and actively reach out to them.
Reach out -use this contact form or email me (I read everything that comes in).
Art Vs. Entertainment
Art as a vehicle for insight, expansiveness, a genesis of ideas and emotions while Entertainment existing as a tickling, fondling, and ultimately forgettable experience in the form of sensory stimulation.
Times Square on NYE, -ultimate entertainment. Tits, ass, dancers, and the same song they’ve been pipe feeding you for over a decade. All abbreviated.
The real question isn’t why she was “playing along” (most likely reason -it was in her contract for a super load of $), but the real question: Was the public more amazed that she was doing it or more amazed that it technically failed?
We all ultimately decide to either give our attention to Art or Entertainment. While Art can be entertaining, Entertainment in itself, becomes lacking in purpose more and more as time goes on.
And we’re “Spotifying”
“Loyalty” is now on Spotify. If you are a Spotify user (specifically or marginally) please “Follow” me as the admin has new rules and I need 250 peeps on my page before I get control over it.

Happy 2017!
“I’ve got wishes but I keep them all to myself
They don’t belong to you or someone else
The conversation always changes but it never ends
There’s always a road ahead”
New songs coming. New ideas unfolding. I have been looking forward to this for…a year?
I want to thank everyone who made 2016 another great year. I could spend time recapping but I’ll do that in January more strategically.
Till then … your NYE GIFT might you accept it.

“Premier Guitar” Review
Hey everyone,
Jumping on a plane in a few minutes to France and Spain to do shows and writing. Lot’s of writing! This came in from “Premier Guitar” last week, apparently, they listened and as you will read below, enjoyed “Loyalty.”
If you don’t have “Loyalty” yet, get it HERE.
“Connecting the dots between rock, funk, and soul with his high-wire guitar playing and raw-boned-but elegant vocal performances, Evan Goodrow’s Loyalty sounds like an arrival. It’s the impressive work of a disciplined, self-aware performer who has captured his own unique genuine, soaring sonic and heart-felt vision.”
—Ted Drozdowski, Premier Guitar
