Bandcamp Friday! I have some songs for you. Help me clear out stuff from the basement so when the new album is released, I can re-clutter the basement. philyates.bandcamp.com

Hot off the presses. When I'm not writing songs, I'm writing things like this. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Bandcamp Friday. Not only can you gift my music to those that you love this holiday season, you can send it as a gift to those that you hate. philyates.bandcamp.com

The Affiliates and I are playing Sleeping Village for the first time on Tuesday, November 7, and we are so stoked! Doors are at 8 pm, and I think we go on at 8:30 pm. Get your tickets now! link.dice.fm/i288132ba370

The next Affiliates show is a doozy...and it is free on a Sunday afternoon. See you at Val's Halla Records in Oak Park, Illinois. We will be opening for the one and only John Davis.

It's CHIRP Radio 107.1FM fall pledge drive time! I'm proud to serve as a board member of a station (and love that as a local Chicago artist, they support folks like me on air). Send some dough their way. It's the best damn radio station in the midwest. chirpradio.app.neoncrm.com/philyates
