Dear Lord, David Rawlings playing is simply spellbinding. One of the few guitarists that often stops me in my tracks. Then new Tiny Desk set is just so, so fab.
Excited to be supporting @zachperson.bsky.social & McKinley James at PGH Winery later this month! Grab your tickets now via the website, link below, or DM to buy direct and skip the fees! #guitar #bluesrock #livemusic
Few things are as fun as sharing the stage with Aris! It was a treat to have him lend some incendiary licks on this original tune, βSympathetic G String,β at Jergels. The neck bend gets me every time! Excited to get this on tape with Rob and Brent for your listening pleasure soon! #guitar #slide
Thank you so much!
Love this clip from my set at Secret Menu Social this past Tuesday! #guitar #sologuitar #looping
Back at Secret Menu Social tonight! Iβm so grateful for the opportunity to create and explore my favorite tunes all while celebrating great food and making new friendships. Excited to meet our feature chef and guests. See yaβ there! #guitar #sologuitar #livemusic #dinnerparty
Yesterdayβs show at Hope Haven Farm Sanctuary was GOAT-ed. Had such a blast performing for the Wildflower Garden Tea event. Check their website for future events, tours, and volunteer opportunities this summer!
The weather, people, libations, and vibes were on point last night at Carson St Deli! It was a fun, conversational night of musical exploration with Rob Choe. A huge thanks to everyone that made it out to hang and to the ever-awesome staff for hosting us. #guitar #livemusic #pittsburgh
Kit from last weekendβs show with @theberrysmusic.bsky.social! The Mythos Chupacabra is perfect for pushing the 5e3 when volume constraints need to be observed. Walrus Audio Monument & MXR Phase 90 make all the fun wobble. Jam Delay Llama Xtreme is a whole universe in a box to boot!
Appreciation for this beautiful Tweed Deluxe. EHX Holy Grail on top for a little βverb! This setup could get you through most gigs! #guitar #amps #tweed
Just announcedβ catch Rob Choe, Brent McConnell, and me at Carson St Deli on Saturday, 5/10. Weβll be debuting some new compositions & running down some old favorites. Tunes from 5-8p on the back patio. Best sandwiches & beer list in Southsideβ donβt miss it! #pittsburgh #livemusic #guitar
Completely lost in playing this ampβ a 5e3 Tweed Deluxeβ lately. #guitar #5e3 #tweed
NEW MERCH ALERT! @mikedawsondrums.bsky.social and I just grabbed this limited run of LUNR ECCOS tees to celebrate our debut collaboration. The custom graphic by EJ DeCoske is printed in white on a Next Level premium blend tee. Head to the Dawson/Vitullo Bandcamp or DM us to grab yours!
Stretching out on the newest ideas with @mikedawsondrums.bsky.social. These long-form, improvised pieces are equal parts challenging & exciting. Canβt wait to share our latest explorations! #guitar #drums #music
Hang a copy of it in every government building in the country immediately. Make tee shirts. Put it on billboards.
Here we go for number two. @mikedawsondrums.bsky.social #recording #newmusic #ambient #experimental #improvised
Check out @mikedawsondrums.bsky.social & me on the latest episode of @startthebeat.bsky.social now! We had a great discussion with @briansikeshowe.bsky.social about our approach to creating βLUNR ECCOS,β new music, and more! Streaming everywhere you get your podcasts. #podcast #music #pittsburgh
It was fun to stretch out on a few tunes at Velum Fermentation yesterday for Humane Action Pennsylvaniaβs Vegan Soup Cookoff! Thank you to everyone that was able to attend! #guitar #livemusic #pittsburgh
Todayβs show was my last at CNN. My closing message: Itβs never a good time to bow down to a tyrantβ¦ donβt give in to the lies. Donβt give in to fear. Hold on to the truthβ¦ and hope.
Has anyone else noticed tracks and full albums being pulled from streaming services recently? As an album fan, this is a huge bummer. Hopefully we can get them back in the future. #music #preservation #streaming

Quick improv with my β97 Stratocaster Plus (many mods done by me) after a refret at Pittsburgh Guitars. I thought I didnβt like Strats anymore, but it turns out this one had just been played to death and needed a new lease on life. Itβs a NGD all over again! #guitar #guitarist #stratocaster
