In 2021 I released a ton of singles, including one for charity (raising money for nurses during the Pandemic), a song that got played during a string of European football matches, and another that won me some awards. In January 2022 I released them all together as an album.

"Hug Your Local Shark" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders - available at all the usual places.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band released 4 albums this year, each a part of 4 a suite of music collectively called "I Am The Moon". The tale of Layla (yes, as in THAT song) comes from the same book they based these songs on.

I have collected all 4 albums into a single playlist, and listening to it all together is wondrous.

Enjoy!

In April of this year I recorded an album in secret on a borrowed piano over the course of a couple of hours. I told no one I was recording it.

Everything was improvised. This video is one of two versions of a song created on the spot for the guest of honor at the party I was invited to as someone's "plus one".

The room acoustics were fantastic, the piano well tuned, and if you listen closely you can hear people talking and setting up in the background.

So as a musician I'm all over the map in terms of style. For videos though I always farm it out. I don't appear in videos - it's not my thing. I just go on fivver and hire someone I think can do what I want.

That said, sometimes the results a pretty amazing. Here is an example. "Kauro-chan" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders.
