The hit song for his band, Nine Days, and the gold record that followed for the album “The Madding Crowd”, was the culmination of 5 years of writing, rehearsing, recording and playing over 1000 shows before finally grabbing the brass ring, and then realizing that holding onto that brass ring was going to be the real challenge. After the all-too-typical story of the follow up album and single not meeting label expectations, ninedays was dropped by Epic Records.
