And the videos keep rolling in. If you follow the Mystiqueros Blog, you know that we toured the east coast a bit in August with shows in DC, Baltimore, NYC, Buffalo and Rochester.
While on the road, we had the great pleasure of working with Music Fog to film some live performances. Below is the first [...]
Like the song says, “Mostly I want to know that there’s gonna be a next time”. Last Tuesday, I woke up anxious. There were questions, and not particularly useful questions, running through my brain. I was sleepy. I was jumpy. Agitated. I guess it makes some sense. Later that evening I was scheduled to [...]
In September of 2000, I released the first ever Bill Small record, “Singin“. I’d been involved in a couple of records and a cassette tape (showing my age) with bands before that, and I think “Singin” was the end product of the 90’s for me. All the musical roads I’d been down in my first [...]
I’m back in Moonhouse Studio today putting the finishing touches on my new record with producer Chris Gage. It’s good to be getting it done! I know it’ll make my parents happy at least. I’ll keep you posted on the release date. It looks like I’ll have the support of the brand new Texas label, [...]

First of all, watch this……
Creativity. If you haven’t noticed, it’s a subject I’m very interested in. I love this video with Elizabeth Gilbert. I read her book, ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ several months agao and found it not [...]
I wrote an article a few days ago that’s now lost on my dead hard drive. (yes the hard drive in my macbook took a powder and it doesn’t look like it’s coming back) The article was about art in the schools or the continuing decline thereof. But as I’ve been thinking about it, it’s [...]

this is kind of a random musing from the van. part of an ongoing series about the “glamour” of the road……
It’s noon and I’ve been in the Van for just about two hours. I stayed up a little too late with my friend Jimmy Davis and probably had one [...]

It’s a beautiful saturday in Austin, TX and I’m about to take my 4 month old puppy Midas to the dog park. He’s making a bunch of noise right now, so I don’t have much time.
This is my first ever blog post. I’ll be posting my thoughts and experiences with music, writing creating, [...]
