Aloha Patrons!

My new summer single is here!  Today I’m officially releasing "Aquamarine," a new original song that I wrote on my ukulele at Kailua Beach on Oahu.  With a retro, tropical sound and bossa nova vibe, it’s perfect for summertime lounging.  It speaks to the peace and freedom I feel when I'm by the ocean and in the water.  Please listen and enjoy a few moments of escape. 

Thank you in advance for your support!  Performing and teaching take up a majority of my time these days, and it feels really good to release new, original music.  Share with your friends and help me spread the word!  

About the team behind "Aquamarine" 

I'm very fortunate to have two good friends and collaborators on this track.  Ukulenny (who also has new music out today, check out Ukulenny's new album!) plays U-bass, and Abe Lagrimas, Jr. plays uke, vibraphone, drums, and various percussion.  Abe also produced and arranged the track.  We recorded with Glenn Suravech of Mosaic Sound Recordings in Los Angeles, on vintage ribbon mics and analog equipment, which lends to the track's retro sound.

What do you think?  Let me know below.  Happy listening!

Love this! It is so smooth flowing and sweet. More of a Mountain Man myself but, I can totally appreciate the sea. I feel like I’m on the beach listening to Aquamarine. Just close my eyes and I drift away. ❤️🤠

David Dong

Sounds like the move to Hawaii is suiting you well!

Fernanda Alves

Very bossa nova! I love it! Reminds me of Tom Jobim and Joao Gilberto's music. It is in the same level, transported me to the Brazilian beaches :-)

Skip Carter

Greeting from China! just to say thank you for your tutorial.

Gorgeous! Love the jazz and bossa nova. Wish more modern music was like yours! Do you ever teach tutorials of your own music? I don't know if a beginner version of your song would be possible, but it be so much fun to play! Thanks for sharing :)
