Artwalk Ventura Debut: The Origin Story of Twice As Clever

Artwalk Ventura Debut:  The Origin Story of Twice As Clever



How a recording session turned into a gig that turned into band with a big question mark.


I wrote a few songs during the winter and spring of 2021-22 that all have a consistant feel.  They ring with a Rock Americana style that resonated with a pursuit of mine to root out the California aesthetic.  At time of this songwriting, I was wrapping up the releases of "Up in the Sky" and "Leaving On A Train" and because my energy was focused on those singles, these new songs sorta simmered on the back burner.  

I was also deeply inspired at the time working on Navigating Infinity.

In May I was offered a slot to play live for Ventura's well known Artwalk festival and of course I said yes.  I didn't feel right to play as a solo artist though, especailly after working in the studio.  

Twice As Clever was concieved shortly after, and is still in the womb of it's existance.  

Part music, part story, part human, part AI, part community-- Twice As Clever is has an origin story that you can help write, literally online in a collaborative document. 

Like a Grateful Dead Jam, it's rooted in songwriting, storytelling, and open for improvisation.  Will you join us???  Now or never, we're Twice As Clever.



Debut Performance:  Artwalk Ventura Saturday Sept 23rd, 3pm
