The Philadelphia Eagles 2017 hype video was released last week. I was the art director on this spot and so excited about how it came out. 

A new podcast for WHYY about the rise and fall of Bill Cosby features original music by me and Mike Vivas.

“Erie, Pennsylvania has public schools that have been underfunded for years. And today, the school district is in a dire situation. Erie’s story raises broader questions about education equality, and to what extent kids can be successful when they go to schools with limited resources. In this episode, you’ll hear from a range of people — including parents, teachers, students, and school officials — about what the impact has been.”

New episode of Grapple. More here. 

A new episode of Grapple just came out. This episode is about immigration and Philadelphia. 

“Immigration is a hot-button issue these days. Go beyond the headlines with Grapple's latest episode. Hear from undocumented immigrations in Philadelphia, old-timers in Hazleton and a diversity of other voices.”

For more information check out the Grapple page.

Vivas and I were interviewed about the music we wrote for Grapple Podcast.

Hey we are doing a tribute to the music of Chuck Berry on April 1st. I’m going to play bass and it’s going to be super fun time.

This Saturday we have a booth at the Fleisher Arts and Crafts market!

South Fellini is making a rare appearance in Fishtown. Come say hey at this First Friday Event at the Piazza hosted by The Crafted Life. We will have lots of special pins, patches and tees for sale.

We just released this sweet new Legalize Marinara pin at South Fellini.

Here’s episode 8 of Grapple. The show is taking a short break and will return with two new episodes on November 2nd. 

Thanks to everyone who has been listening.

“We hear a lot of stories about the challenges people in distressed communities are facing, but we also want to hear stories about what communities are doing to come back. On this episode of Grapple, we discuss these ideas with longtime Atlantic magazine writers Deborah and James Fallows.  The couple has been traveling around the Unites States for the last three years on a single-engine propeller plane to find out how American cities and towns have been putting themselves back together. Their project is called American Futures.”

On this episode of Grapple, you’ll hear reflections from a steel town in the Pittsburgh region. Back in the 1950s, the city of Clairton was booming with about 20,000 residents. But today there are far fewer people living there and fewer job opportunities than before. You’ll hear from someone who used to work at the mill and also from someone who had to leave Clairton to find work elsewhere. Lastly, you’ll hear about the first settler of Clairton and how the family he was part of was woven into Clairton’s history.
