Songs of The Glenn Coast
The places, images, and stories that inspired the songs

Chennai, India · Monterey Bay
Instrumental · electric sitar · spaghetti westerns
A soundtrack for an imaginary Bollywood Spaghetti Western

California
Alternative Rock · fading thrill · last call
A restless alternative rocker about two people who partied past the point of meaning and can feel the end coming before the night is over.

Santa Monica, California · Route 66
12-string coastal rock · second chances
A bright, harmony-rich road song about heading west before the dream is dead and gone, chasing flowers, friendship, and maybe something more at the edge of the Pacific.

Carmel Valley, California · Santa Lucia Mountains
Dark Americana · loathing · buried places
A swampy resonator-driven song about hiding the worst parts of yourself in a place no one should have to find.

Heaven & Hell · Any Saturday night party
Baritone rock · temptation · sacred/profane
A sly, ecstatic rocker where angels and devils share the room, moderation loses its balance, and virtue and vice try to call it even.

Tomonoura, Japan · Monterey Bay
Instrumental · nostalgic · water memory
A thirty-year song seed, first awakened by Donald Richie’s The Inland Sea, later rediscovered in the flight of sooty shearwaters over Capitola.

New York City · Tokyo, Japan · San Jose, California
Power pop/punk · optimism · singalong rock
A bright, defiant anthem about choosing light over numbness, smiling louder than the world’s anger, and proving that kindness still has teeth.

Sausalito, California · Monterey, California
Coastal rock · memory · salt air
A song from the shifting edge between land, water, and what we thought would stay.

Sausalito, California · Los Angeles, California · Babylon
Alternative Rock · temptation · fame
A dark, glittering rock song about a dreamer promised love, glory, and the silver screen, only to find herself worshipped and consumed by Babylon.

San Juan Bautista, California
Singer/Songwriter · Mission town · temptation · borderland romance
A desert-edge story of bells, confession, and a woman who disappears on western winds.

Santa Clara, California · Carmel Valley, California
Alternative rock · spiritual presence · nature
A soaring anthem about feeling someone’s presence when they’re gone — in mountains, oaks, birds, rivers, redwoods, and everything beautiful that still speaks.

Watertown, New York · Hong Kong
Alt-Rock Ballad · unrequited love · restraint · the 'friend zone'
A bittersweet song about caring for someone in their lowest moment, wanting more than friendship, and loving them anyway from the wrong side of the room.
