Check out my new musical home, located in downtown Corvallis, OR. This latest iteration of my music workshop finds itself in a small-but-comfy creative space in the basement of a newly renovated mid-century retail building. The Plaza offers a bright, fresh, vibrant meeting spot for college students, downtown area workers and staff, visitors to the city, breakfast/lunch/dinner options, and a basement full of creatives experimenting and connecting to the world with their art.

​

This new version of the PBMW is a place to encounter musical creativity through lessons, production, songwriting, collaboration, and service. It's also an incubation chamber in which to conjure and try out ideas that can enhance and transform one's daily life. The vision is rooted in the idea that we are poised to embark- collectively and individually- on a journey toward ever deepening our human experience through artful living aided by the support of the world around us- both natural and artificial. The PBMW sees a future in which nature and technology are twin partners in relation to our humanity.

​

Come and meet me here at The Plaza to discuss possibilities, musical and otherwise. And, stay tuned for upcoming information on a new discussion series I'm calling The Idea Lab. Meeting topics will involve philosophical discussions around our most essential daily activities. Meeting will be open to anyone interested in a collective discussion around important ideas that can shape and transform our lives. All belief systems and backgrounds encouraged to join! Here are some topics that will be encountered...
