Deleted my @bandcamp page. Sorry folks but it had to be done. I can no longer allow 100% of your support to go directly to this company. Thank you all for trying to support me by buying digital downloads and merch and I'm sorry it was funneled elsewhere. I have been trying to sort this out but apparently I agreed to these terms. Lesson learned. If you'd like anything from the Rosedale catalog or merch just message me here or email [email protected] and I'll hook it up for very cheap. Thanks again and sorry about this.

Most people think this song is literally about the Disney ride "Space Mountain", but that is actually the metaphor. The joy I get from playing live shows comes from much more than feeling approval by others. It's the gratification of releasing a 30 minute performance that took over 10,000 hours to build. The excitement of knowing that all of my influences and experiences are coming together uniquely and organically to form art that nothing & nobody else can replicate.  I became a junky for that rush more and more since the first time I put together a set with some friends and played at the Rockit when I was 14 years old (Picture the Scott Pilgrim scene but early2000s). It eventually became my career/LIFE to travel around North America and book/play about 200 shows a year (Europe once as well). And even when there was nobody but the sound guy and bar staff there, I still got my fix. One year ago today I played the biggest show of my life at the legendary San Diego House of Blues. I have a lot of people to thank for that opportunity. Little did I know it would be the last show I would play for a very long time and I legitimately cried like a big baby going through this footage. This pandemic has been extremely tough for a lot of businesses, artists, venues, families etc and I realize others have it worse than me. And i know there are more outlets to create and express my art... but damn do I miss live music...and if this is rehab, I want out! 😭 🎥 cred: @_jessicarabe_ 🙏 (at House of Blues San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrWVkhgXC-/?igshid=r3ngziuper1t

Happy 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving! I hear these 2 things all the time: "YOU'RE TALL!" & "you have so much gear!" It's true! I'm not sure who to thank for the height...Santa🎅? but as for the gear- I have some wonderful friends at @westoneaudio , @ernieball , @steveclaytoninc , @audixmics and @vocaleze that continue to help out and support my obsession. Their products are perfect and I'm so honored and proud to be part on their hard working teams. My music and @stateofmyartpodcast just wouldn't be the same without them. If you're wondering what to get your fellow musician for Christmas, check out these brilliant toys! Thank you all so much ❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/CIEmfn7g8gw/?igshid=s54wqsnpxext

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MERICA! I'm a Canuck🇨🇦 but I'm down here a lot and love food so I'm very happy celebrating two Thanksgivings. I'm extremely grateful for all the amazing companies, venues, friends, fans, and family that have supported my ridiculous lifestyle and creations over the many years. I haven't forgotten any of you and always Remember; DON'T throw away those leftovers! There's lots of hungry artists coming through your city that would love a free meal. Can't wait to get the new chapter under way and pay it forward 🦃🇺🇸 THANK YOU! 🎄 (at Cellar Door) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bf8Q5AP07/?igshid=1fihyyuph8xso

"The tour was over we'd survived" 15 shows in 15 days with @mainsailsd PROUD of these boys. The easy 3% (playing the shows) is worth the hard 97% (the work!) Hours of driving, practicing in living rooms, shooting and editing tour updates, folding laundry, sneaking into hotels, setting up an ambitious production, packing my van without an inch to spare at 3am...its all worth the 3% of getting to FunSweat and FullSend to new and old fans. Big things to come from these up and coming SoCal punks @mainsailsd follow them to see the tour vlogs and how short I make them look 😁 . Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the shows. And big thanks to @ratherbsphoto for the quality Pro 📷graphy in #Visalia and a HUGE thanks to the biggest tiny merch machine @cierbamate reppin furdabois 🤙🎉🎃🌯🔥🎶🚌 #yeahboys (at Frog and Peach Pub) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QrxFegi4r/?igshid=1hkmsri782sav
