Video: A Special Live Folk-Country Cut of Girls Like Me
Yesterday afternoon I went down to Free Times Cafe to check out an Open Mic and was pleased to be able to perform for the room. It was a full house and my first time on the Free Times stage which in itself was a big treat, but better still was the fact that a…

Is it even a band without you? Seeking drummer and bassist to get this show on the road!
I’ll be the first to admit that a lot of how this band has begun seems a little backwards to me, and by that I mean I’m a bit more used to and understanding of the normal “get together with some musicians, write some tunes, put out an album together” trajectory. Instead we’re starting from…

Other Music Projects
While “Acceptance” might be the debut album for Neither Could Dylan, I’ve been releasing original music for the last couple years now in different capacities. I just wanted to take a second today to share a little about those projects with you and where you can find them if you’re interested in hearing them, especially…

A Brief History of Neither Could Dylan
Sometime in the fall of 2022 I caught a post on twitter looking for original artists to feature on an internet-based radio show. They’d asked you submit a handful of songs (10 or so) with brief audio snippets introducing the tracks; the idea was to promote lesser known artists and I thought it was a…

NCD.ca Exclusive: Mr. Tambourine Man (Acoustic)
It should surprise no one that I dabble with Bob Dylan covers; I throw a couple into my livestreams now and again, but I haven’t quite taken the time yet to release any of them in an official sense. Today I thought I’d let you in on one I’ve been working on a little bit.…

Acceptance: Happy
Today we get to dive into the track that really spearheaded the direction of the Acceptance album as a whole – Happy! I was having trouble sleeping one night to the point of absolute frustration. I have difficulty sometimes turning my brain off and allowing me any sort of time to just exist – there…

Acceptance: Loose Change
Today’s blog centers on track 7: Loose Change. Loose Change is a super simple song based on a true story. There isn’t much to say about the overall production choices here because the aim was to keep it all pretty minimal so that that story itself is the biggest focus. I’m always a little hesitant…

Acceptance: Dismal
If Skeleton found us buried deep in the ground at the back of an abandoned cave, then Dismal brings with it the spirit of eager spelunkers on their first grand expedition. It was vitally important that the tone of this track carry itself with more of a carefree fresh air quality because lyrically, we’re still…

Acceptance: Skeleton
Skeleton is probably the most emotionally heavy song on Acceptance, but its production is pretty bare bones and simple (like a skeleton!). It was originally written with the intention of it being only an acoustic guitar and vocal track but after experimenting with some vocal effects, I thought it was better served to incorporate some…

Acceptance: Chemical Therapy
Chemical Therapy was a track that when I first recorded a demo of it acoustically, seemed to have this really dark and Earthy vibe to it. I wanted to capture that on the record so I kept the progression the same as when I first tried to run through it and then built some layers…
