2023 Year in Review

2023 was pretty full! My first album I Don’t Know What I’m Doing turned twenty years old(!) and we dusted off the full live band for our first shows since 2019. We played an anniversary show and it was a blast to meet a lot of you there, I can’t believe how many people travelled from far away. I don’t really tour so it’s very sweet when you come visit me and it was a pretty special night. For those who didn’t make it, Ben & I did a decent number of live stream shows on YouTube and it was awesome to see you in the chat (next one is January 25th btw).

I kept plugging away at making songs for the Brad Sucks Patreon, which is my favorite thing to be doing these days. Thanks to everyone who supports me there, it means a ton and has really helped keep me moving forward. 

2024 should be similarly busy — one of my songs is apparently going to be in a fancy commercial and I announced the campaign for my Untitled Fifth Album which is just about half-funded. So if that’s successful, finishing the new record should take up most of my time when I’m not writing & recording new songs. Here’s hoping!

Anyway, here’s some of the stuff I made or did this year:
