About
Collaborative spirit is a huge part of what I’m about.
The name Shut Up & Play Music comes from a simple idea: so many people do a whole lot of talking about music, but don’t just play. Frank Zappa said it best:
“Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.”
So let’s get in there. Get our hands dirty, try things, and experiment together.

Let’s Watch The Silent Sentry
I wrote this song and led the recording process from the start, bringing in the right personnel for drums. I played guitar and keys, sang the vocals, and did the engineering, editing, mixing, and mastering myself.

How I Felt Yesterday / The Phone Call Annabel Ankrum
I headed up production and coordinated the recording process: scheduling sessions, getting in contact with the right people, and recording engineering. Working side by side with Annabel and her brother Jacob Robbins, we laid down the instrumentation together. I played guitar and bass, then edited, mixed, and mastered the release.
