I’ll See You On The Dark Side of the Moon
Many of you are still waiting patiently for the arrival of Grey Expectations, the Wolves & Sheep hip hop concept album trilogy that we will release as three albums over the course of 12 months. Since we’re currently in the process of additional mixing, I thought this was a good time to talk about my favorite album of all time, The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. To say Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon were a major influence on...
Tyler Durdin & Ovrthro – The Gripe Club EP
Wolves & Sheep is happy to announce the release of Tyler Durdin's Gripe Club EP, co-produced by Canadian producer ovrthro. Ovrthro co-produced the single Bill Burr along with the Pacific beat crew.

The Rise and Resurrection of the Concept Album
It's Time to Resurrect the Concept Album For far too long now we’ve been listening to music to “check out” rather than “check in.” These days the concept album is as scarce as catching two millennials listening to Mothership Connection on 5-foot tower speakers. In the near words of Marvin Gaye, “what in the *#&@! is going on?” Let’s be honest, average intelligence is dumbed down across the board. Music is no longer a source of inspiration. It’s the white noise machine we toss in the background as we flip through our social media feeds....
Grey Expectations Update and Gripe Club EP
Some quick updates for all of our friends and fans. I can't believe it's already November. It seems like it was March like two weeks ago. This year has been a doozy. We are two days away from the election... probably two months away from knowing who won. Who knows what's gonna happen or when we'll be able to "return to normal." Let's be real... there is no going back. There will be another virus, or another catastrophe, or an alien invasion. There are no more shitty Star Wars movies in the...
The Pandemic’s Devastating Impact on the Minds of Musicians
Hello friends! I hope you're hanging in there. It’s the week after Thanksgiving… early Tuesday afternoon… and I’m already exhausted. I know I’m not the only person who feels this way. This year has been exhausting. The current president has been exhausting. Both sides have been exhausting. I’m supposed to be cranking out consistent blog content, but it’s been tough when I still have music to finish up, and… oh yeah… Alex and I have to ensure our 4-year-old daughter does her virtual school work using a computer that she has no idea how to operate. I came here to write a blog post about Wolves...
Grey Expectations Update #2: Our Hip Hop tribute to the Classic Rock concept album is almost complete!
In the last album update, I told you all that I was driving down to Maryland to finish up Grey Expectations. Plans were made. My car was packed. I said by to the wife and kid and began pulling out of the driveway when my brother called to tell me that a coworker had tested positive for covid. I was planning to stay at his house, but that was now out of the equation, so I drove back into the garage and started calling some other folks. I spoke to Kit Whitacre and some other folks and immediately realized it wasn't gonna happen. Kit and DJ...

Update on the Wolves & Sheep hip hop and rock concept album “Grey Expectations”
I know it’s been a minute. To those of you who have been waiting patiently for the arrival of the Wolves & Sheep concept album “Grey Expectations” … we are sorry for the delay. The road has been a bit bumpy lately for many of us in the band, and I’m sure it’s been rough for many of you as well. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully there’s not a freight train attached to it. You'll notice that we have a new album cover,...
