An inspiring story about a filthy-rich, entitled man who became a billionaire all on his own by inheriting his family's wealth and exploiting the working class. #songwriter #piano #newmusic #livemusic #billionaire #musicsky #musiciansky #indiemusic #blueskymusicindie #blueskymusicfeed

I have a new song out for #bandcampfriday I've heard people asking "where's the modern protest music?" and I think this counts. It's more Randy Newman, than Bob Dylan. It's from the perspective of a billionaire claiming to be a self made man. #blueskymusicfeed #musicsky #blueskymusicindie

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday and I have a new song that will be released for the occasion. @kristenbrunacini.bsky.social heard the song and made this paper collage which now serves as the cover art for the song. #musicsky #musiciansky #blueskymusicindie #blueskymusicfeed #bandcampfriday

Here's a cover of my favorite Billy Joel song, "Where's the Orchestra?". Yes. Out of all his songs, this one is my favorite. I love everything about this song, and I feel something every time I play it or listen to it. #piano #billyjoeltribute #BillyJoel #livemusic #pianocover #musicsky

I had this melody kicking around for a while. I watched A24's "I Saw the TV Glow" and when it ended, I sat in the dark, alone and devastated for about 15 minutes. The next day these words appeared in my brain. #livemusic #originalsong #singersongwriter #songwriter #indiemusic #piano

Another newer song. This one begins and ends with my proposal for a new US national anthem. "Steadfast and brave, riding high in a truck. We park over the lines. Just leave your shopping cart there, you'll be fine. Ignore the handicap signs." #livemusic #songwriter #skymusic #piano #musicsky

As someone who was made fun of in school for my (admittedly neurodivergent) interest in Billy Joel's music, this is how it feels seeing everyone catch up after the documentary. #BillyJoel #AndSoItGoes

I've had a wild four year run. I'm so proud of all five of these albums. I genuinely can't believe all this in that time. Pick one. Any one of these and give it an honest shot. I bet you'll end up listening to another. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #indiemusic #songwriter #albums #discography #vinyl

I've got 6 LPs, 3 singles, and 1 compilation up on bandcamp right. The Aftergloom stuff is an experimental, story-driven concept album. The Mike Brunacini stuff is retro melodic pop-rock. Use discount code " dwtd " to get 15% off. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #OriginalMusicTracks #BlueSkyMusicIndie

Song-by-song story run down: Pt. III | Track 3 Keep the Dream Alive Marsha becomes concerned that she's losing control of her dream. It begins collapsing around her, but at the last minute she creates a doorway made of clouds and passes through it to keep the dream alive. #MusicSky #MusicianSky

Continuing the Don't Wake the Dreamer story rundown. Pt. III | Track 2 Almost Real Marsha begins to get lost in the dream - unsure of what is real and what isn't real. Shoutout to the lyrical callback to Own Little World and the 7/8 time signature. #MusicSky #MusicianSky #ConceptAlbum #indiemusic

Now that it's finally out, I'll be finishing up the DWTD song by song guide. Pt. III | Track 1 Pixelated Clouds Marsha and her mother appear under a canopy of trees. The door they just passed through disappears, leaving the Memory Wiper behind. 🧵 1/3 #MusicSky #MusicianSky #conceptalbum

Picture yourself flying high above the clouds. You notice the ground beneath you hasn't rendered yet. You can make out the edges of the skybox in the distance. When you land below, the ground textures slowly materialize. 1/2 #MusicSky #MusicianSky #indiemusic #Songwriter #conceptalbum #musical
