Subsequent Ruins Turns Two
Two years ago today saw the release of Subsequent Ruins featuring Marco Minnemann, my first release for the 7D Media label. It is a musical retelling of the Pied Piper with technology playing the role of the antagonist. The artwork by Hajo Mueller is the perfect accompaniment and one of my favorite collaborations to date.

Solo Warr Guitar Mini Tour
I have some upcoming dates on the calendar for shows in Ohio and Michigan. I will be performing solo pulling mainly from three albums: Imaginary Cages, Subsequent Ruins, and an upcoming album. Quenched and Tempered is a great brewery in Toledo that I have visited and love their beer. I will be playing a two hour set. Ziggy’s in Ypsilanti will be more of a rocking 45 minute set with a local bass guitarist opening the show. Dessert Oasis will be another two hour set in the cool and chilled environment of Dessert Oasis. More information on each show may be found in the events section of the site.
