You can now purchase the groovin’ rom-com number “Never Think of You That Way” in my store! I wrote this original song for Angel Reda at MuseMatch 10.0, and you can bring the sheet music home today. Check out the recording, then buy it here.
A short while back, the good folks at One Shot Podcast network commissioned the work I was born to create: a purported theme song for the short-lived Animorphs TV show. It is sung in a most delightful fashion about 9:00 into this episode of their fanfic tabletop podcast, Adventure. You might, um, recognize the tune.
I’ll be joining the latest installment of the MuseMatch series, in which writers and singers are paired on collaborative “blind dates” to create and perform brand new songs. This concert will benefit the nonprofit Shakespeare Forum.

The Turing Test
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Brandon Michael Lowden
Legendary hacker and computer theorist Pr0me7heus, with the aid of a few trusted online associates, is working to create more than mere artificial intelligence, to design the first sentient, self-aware machine. But as virtual friendships grow, so does the danger of discovery… and no one can know Pr0me7heus is really a teenage girl from a dysfunctional home, with no one but her robot prototype to talk to.

The Newport Mercury offers a rave review of Contemporary Theater Company’s An Evening with Donner and Blitzen, praising the production as a whole and throwing in some kind words about my original songs. Read the full review here!
One of the many treats in the show comes early with the lively delivery of Lowden’s “The Brothers Claus.” It’s a crafty upbeat tune that includes verses about Santa’s brothers: Hydro and Pyro to name only two of Santa’s siblings featured in the song.
If you’re up for something new and completely different this holiday season, “An Evening with Donner & Blitzen” is a joyride you don’t want to miss. The talented Hoover beautifully blends a touching love story with traditional holiday music and some great new tunes from Lowden to infuse the spirit of Christmas in us every one.
My dear friends at Rhode Island’s Contemporary Theater Company are presenting a new holiday show yet again this year, which features a couple of original carols I wrote. If you’re in town, be sure to check it out!
