about

Fair warning: THIS IS NOT A COMEDY ALBUM. Also, you'll probably enjoy it more (though possibly not) if you're a Browncoat, which is to say a fan of Joss Whedon's cult classic TV show Firefly or the subsequent Big Damn Movie: Serenity.

On July 5th, 2011, while I was recording Impotent Nerd Rage (my first geek rock album) I was struck by an urge to write and record a Firefly-inspired album that sounded like young Springsteen. In August of 2018, I convinced fellow Browncoat and musician Marc Gunn to do a podcast with me, in which we'd watch each episode of Firefly in order, discuss them critically, mine them for inspiration, and write a song inspired by each episode. That podcast, In The Verse ( fireflydrinkingsongs.com/intheverse ) premiered in September of 2018. This album is the collected, refined songs I wrote for that podcast, one for each episode (well 1 and a half each for Serenity and The Train Job... Girl In The Box was a crossover song for episodes 1 and 2.)

These songs, this album, and that podcast (not to mention my career) simply would not be possible without supporters and patrons like Robin Abess, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Michael Khandelwal, John Lach, Josh Logan, Scot Mealy, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen, and John R. Woollard. I am eternally grateful to them, to all my supporters, and to my co-conspirators Marc Gunn, Sean Faust, and Trent Wilson for helping me turn an idle thought into a dream come true.
