We have lots of fun stuff coming up soon. Radio Rewind has a Halloween Bash all night long with a costume contest and prizes. And very special evenings with Moon Letters and The Drive Through. Get cozy with your favorite live music at your favorite venues.
September newsletter featuring fruit harvests, plum pie experiments, studio redesign progress, new drum tracks for Michael Trew, and Radio Rewind shows at Ghostfish and Peabo’s.
I hope you’re enjoying the outdoors in between smoke episodes! I had a great outdoor gig at sunset. We got some shows all over Washington coming up before things start cooling off. Check out the calendar below for dates in your area.

📌 Here’s what’s in this update
New Music — “Shaniko” with Michael Trew is out now. I played the drums. Stay tuned for more releases in the near future.
Feature Story — Radio Rewind played the Highline HS Class of ’76 reunion and it was our best crowd of the summer. Full story below.
Four Shows — Psychic Cat, Radio Rewind, and The Drive Through — Tacoma, Olympia, Snohomish, and Seattle. Last run of the summer. Come out.
The new release from Michael Trew just landed, and it features my drums. He and I have been jamming in a couple different projects and we’ve been discussing recording some ideas. I’m glad it came to fruition, and a few more are on the way as well. We have some shows coming up as Michael Trew with Psychic Cat, so keep your eye on the calendar if you want to hear more.
We’re going to throw a party on June 27, 2025 at 7:30pm at the Royal Room here in Seattle. There will be many friends jumping up on stage, including a full kids choir. Lots of surprises in store, and should be an all around great time. Our performance will be all ages.
Just a quick announcement here that Mettle Lark will be releasing a new single “Monsters” on Jan 3 at our party at The Tractor here in Seattle. I hope to see y’all out there, and check back later for a link to the single when it’s published!
After two years of performing and recording and touring, Everything Oscillating has come to a close. It’s kind of astounding any music project involving more than one person ever gets off the ground. Even if you come together on the music, everyone is such a different person, with different motivations and opinions. And then beyond that, there are all the events and conditions that are out of everyone’s control. In the end, it was just a simple matter of timing that brought this project to a close: it was time for the bass player to inevitably move back east to be with family. It was always in the cards, but finally that’s the hand we were dealt.
This kind of thing is sadly all too common. But on the other hand, we had some fun times and got an amazing recording out of it.
I’m truly proud of the record, and I feel like it’s one of the rare moments that I was able to “say” most of what I intended. One of my favorite recordings for sure.
Thanks for those who came out and wished Mike farewell and cheered us on one last time. It was an honor to share the bill with Moon Letters and Authentic Luxury. And Mike, anywhere you go, great music will be made. I’m looking forward to your next chapter. But for now, here’s the final show in entirety.
For the sake of completion, I should also mention that we did create a music video for the opening track on the album. Thanks so much for your support, coming out to shows, listening to the record, and encouraging us to keep going. It really meant a lot.
