I recently composed original music for two TV spots for London's Sunday Times. One stars the legendary Sir Peter O'Toole.

The Stephen Ashbrook record that I produced, engineered and mixed is coming out on June 17. I co-wrote five of it's eleven songs, including the title track "White Balloons".

Gary Yerkins' album Compass is out and available now. I produced, engineered and mixed the long-awaited solo effort from this journeyman songwriter and long time front man for Chicago bands The Insiders and the Juleps. Pick it up on the iTunes now.

The song "Letting Go" from Kim Virant's recent album, Songs From a Small House, made Elysa Gardner's Playlist in the USA Today today.

Songs for Soap mentions Droge/Summers music in Tap Project spot.

Fans of the Under The Waves album will recognize the track "Into The Sunset" in UNICEF's Tap Project campaign.

Shoot Online recognized our song "Going Whichever Way the Wind Blows," for its appearance in Toyota's national Sequoia campaign.

I had never heard of Bob Lefsetz or the "Lefsetz Letter" when my email inbox was flooded with messages saying things like, "a million people have probably forwarded this to you already, but in case they haven't, here it is... pretty cool."

Toyota aired the "Star Party" Sequoia spot several times during the AFC & NFC championships. When I say this is the next best thing to the Superbowl, I am not joking. We were completely blind sided by the response.

Toyota is using my song "Going Whichever Way the Wind Blows" in a TV spot for it's all-new Sequoia. The spot begins airing today.

Composed music for two Qwest tv spots this month. Spots wil begin airing in early Jan. The latter of the two was directed by my friend Sam Jones. Sam is very talented, which is fine.

I have begun writing music for another TV ad. Details later.

My friend Jeff Trott is coming to the Puzzle Tree Studio today. We will work on writing songs together. Some of you may remember Jeff as lead guitarist in my touring band in the mid 90's.

The DROGE & SUMMERS record has been bumped again. I have been asked by a very talented director friend (and certified member of the 'in crowd'), to create music for a "very very short film with blatant product placement".

I wrote and recorded music for two national T-Mobile TV spots that are airing now.

Updating with my new iPhone. Crazy.

The Gary Yerkins record is mixed. It was a treat mixing on the new Trident desk. Was nice to take my time. Gary lives in Baltimore, so I would work, then upload a ref, get his comments and proceed. Rinse, lather, repeat. I love this record. Gavin Lurrsen will be mastering it soon.

Work continues on the Gary Yerkins album. Harmonies abound: Elaine and I have been singing background vocals and Gary's x-bandmate Cathy Richardson flew up from San Fran to lend her voice to the hubbub. Cathy is the voice behind the old Glade commercials, "Plug it in, plug it in."

Look out for the song "White Balloons" on the TV Show, Veronica Mars. I produced this track for Portland singer-songwriter, Stephen Ashbrook and co-wrote it with Stephen & Elaine Summers.
