Thimble vs. Needle
"Without reservation, Conversations Over Breakfast is one of the best albums I have heard this year. Not just local. Best album anywhere." --What's Up! Magazine
"Smart, sassy, sensitive... a rare depth and range in an otherwise endless sea of singer/songwriters." -- Cascadia Weekly
Thimble vs. Needle was my "indie snark folk" songwriter project from 2009-2015. I made two albums with a lot of help from a lot of wonderful musicians, notably percussionist/bassist/ukelele-ist extraordinaire Chris Stainback.
