Chicago Bears Theme “Bear Season”
A rollicking Replacements-style submission for a Chicago radio contest, and in my humble opinion far superior to the winner. I wanted to avoid evoking the 1985 Championship Season, naming players directly, etc., in order to make the piece more timeless. It could still work!

.The Tri-County Sampler
Imagine if a beat-up rural area filled with gravel pits, slimy canals and a sad saloon rife with dashed dreams on every corner launched its own lifestyle magazine. Well, start downloading now, because the The Tri-County Sampler is just that. It’s a place where cockeyed optimism crashes awkwardly into misplaced intentions, seasoned with an inexplicable mass obsession with Ben Turpin.

Bryan Evening

Even though maneuvering through one of his dizzying sentences is like navigating a literary minefield, the end result will leave you glowing, and less informed than when you started reading. Bryan’s unbridled optimism is matched only by his singular grasp on music history, so hang on tight and start reading.
