<p>
I've spent the last year making a brand new record with my producer Casey Smith, at KnottBrite Studios in Minneapolis, Mn. The new album is called BLIND FAITH. I couldn't be more happy with it, as we come to the final stages of getting it ready. I'm really pleased with everything and am super excited for it's forthcoming release!
<p>
So, here's a preview of one of the songs from the new record. It's called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6ORdn7Us6I">Stones Throw Away</a>. Plus, the good people at <a href="http://riftmagazine.com/">Rift Magazine</a> recently featured this song on Valentines Day! Check their <a href="http://riftmagazine.com/2017/02/14/audio-video-stones-throw-away-michael-ray-pfeifer/">feature out here</a>! I hope you enjoy it!

Our sincere thanks to <a href="http://www.wilkinsonjames.biz/">Wilkinson James</a> for sharing an eventful and great night with us at <a href="http://www.contentedcow.com/">The Contented Cow</a> back in October. And what a blast we had playing with <a href="https://artvandalaytunes.wordpress.com/">Art Vandalay</a>, Curt Hutchens, and <a href="http://www.joefaheymusic.com/">Joe Fahey</a> & The Bottom 40 at the <a href="http://acadiapub.com/">Acadia</a> two weeks ago.

On Friday, Dec. 23rd, we're honored to be asked by Aaron Tinjum to be part of the Winter in the Heartland show at the <a href="http://acadiapub.com/">Acadia Pub</a>. We'll be rolling out a trio version of the Nasty Notes, featuring myself, Pat Wheeler and Dan Carlson. We're gonna strip it down and let it fly!

Check out the full Heartland line-up <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/311146535950613/?notif_t=plan_admin_added¬if_id=1480454386509651">here</a>.
<p>
It's been a few years, but we're excited to be back at the <a href="http://www.three-eighteen.com/">318 Cafe</a> in Excelsior, Mn, on Thursday, January 5th. We'd love to see all of our West-side friends! This place is so fun to play, plus great food and atmosphere!

<p>
As you might know, I've got a brand new record coming out later this year, called Blind Faith. I'm really proud of it, and excited for you to hear it! To give you a little taste, here's a song called Merry Go Round, which features Casey Smith on guitar, bass and keys; Pat Wheeler on rhythm guitar, and John Fitzgerald on drums.
<p>
We made a little video slide show featuring a bunch of photos I took recently out west. Enjoy the song and the photos!

Hi Friends!
<p>
Just a quick note to check-in and let you know we've been busy working with Casey Smith at KnottBrite Studios in Minneapolis, recording new songs for a variety of upcoming projects and albums. I've got a whole bunch of news songs that I'm really proud of and can't wait for you to hear!
<p>
I, along with Curt Hutchens, had the great opportunity to partake in the Naked Songwriter series, presented DEMOMN.org (Diverse Emerging Music Organization), at Orfield Labs (former home of Sound 80 Studio). This is the same studio where Bob Dylan recorded Blood on the Tracks. Look for a video of our performance this Spring!
<p>
We're also planning some fun shows this summer, as well as being super excited to be returning to Marketfest in White Bear Lake, MN. We'll be playing there from 6pm to 9pm, on Thursday, July 21st!
<p>
Below are some photos from some of these sessions.
<p>
Take care, and hope to see you soon!

<p>
My bandmates and I went into the studio a couple of months ago, with the help of Casey Smith and KnottBrite Studio, and did a live take of my song Dirty Dog. Kudos to Curt Hutchens, Pat Wheeler, Dan Carlsen, and John Fitzgerald, for kickin' out the jams!
<p>
Check out this rockin' video, with some cute pics of my dog!
