Steak and Eggs - The Miracle That is Christmas

John Steakman and Stephen Eggleston cordially invite you to share the warmth in their new song, "The Miracle That is Christmas". Please enjoy special guests Flashbrowns on the bass guitar and Jobangers N' Mash playing some keyboards, and other beautiful noisemakers, who are sure to make your special day of merrymaking even more wondrous.

Merry Ishmas - An Ish Records Music Sampler

In 2001, Ish Records set out to create a Christmas album for the world (about 10 people actually) to hear. In typical Ish form, only 1 Christmas song was actually recorded. The remaining 11 songs have nothing to do with Christmas but releasing an album with just 1 song would be silly, even for Ish's low standards. We invite you to sing along and create your own Christmas versions though, if that's your thing. Otherwise, deal with it.

The Tom Jeremiah Band - Manic Mechanic

What can I say, TJB covered ZZ Top with fake drums in 2013 featuring special guest David Didonato on guitar. That's right.

Steak and Eggs - HoHoHoes

Another Steak and Eggs traditional Christmas recording, but this time celebrating Christmas in July, a Steak and Eggs first! Recorded in December 2017, right before the Jesus Christmas, this song was thought to be TOO good to simply be given away as a Christmas gift. Fast forward to July, actually June, and we are feeling extra generous. Truth be told, we were actually waiting on clearance to use the title from hip-hop icon Lil Scurvy. His recent death gave us the opportunity to release the track until his estate comes looking for royalties (not only did we steal the title, we also sampled the cymbal crash at the 1:28 mark), so please enjoy Christmas in July, or June, courtesy of Steak and Eggs while you still can.

The Tom Jeremiah Band - Call Me Tom

The Tom Jeremiah Band is back after a long hiatus, this time covering the little-known original demo version of Paul Simon's "Call Me Al". Originally titled "Call Me Tom", this composition took Simon in a different direction with lyrics about an awkward sexual encounter. Fearing backlash from the PMRC, GLAAD, and the United Nations, Simon changed the lyrics to reflect a man experiencing a mid-life crisis, which became the well-known radio hit that most of us are familiar with today. Like us, I think you too will enjoy the original vision of Paul Simon's "Call Me Tom".

Steak and Eggs - Athena's Cradle

The Easter Bunny came early to ish records and dropped off a basketful of treats. Inside one of the eggs was a track from Steak and Eggs about some kid they call "The Hamster". I am just as confused as you.

The Twin Fins

In 2011, Erik and I were asked to put together some surf songs to play before the presentation of the B-movie, "The Beach Girls and the Monster", at the NC Museum of Life and Science. We named the band The Twin Fins and came up with a handful of songs over a few practices, all of which we recorded on my iPhone. These are a few of those songs.
