Feeling blessed and deeply grateful after an evening in the studio with the astounding W***y Porter. He went right to the heart of "Musha Duchamp," a new tune that we’re working on together that’s taking shape for my next record, On A Beautiful Day Like Tomorrow.
As always, Steve Hamilton, Wisconsin’s own Rick Rubin (with shoes!) brought his magic touch at Makin’ Sausage Music, turning every take into a masterclass.
Amazing how a palate of twelve simple notes can become something that touches the soul. On A Beautiful Day Like Tomorrow is on its way, early 2026.

Blessed and honored to spend the day in the studio with my two insanely talented friends, Peter Mac and Steve Hamilton. When Pete touches music, it soars. And Steve, Wisconsin’s own Rick Rubin, only with the engineering skills to match, always makes every session at Maken’ Sausage Music a masterclass. I leave inspired and learning something new every time. Look for my new record, "On A Beautiful Day Like Tomorrow" to be out sometime early in 2026. I’ll be playing a few compositions from the new record Centro on Thursday opening for Panalure. https://www.facebook.com/share/16FzCrA77L/

Where it all started for electric guitar

Big thanks to Blaine Schultz and Shepherd Express for the shout out🙏. I’m honored that my compound radius design is recognized as one of the most important innovations in electric guitar over the past 75 years.

Over the years Rauen’s customers have come to include his neighbors in Riverwest as well as Keith Richards, Leo Kottke and Leon Russell.

“These young folks remind me of the magic and excitement that first drew me into the world of musical instruments. All these years later, I realize, I haven’t really changed.”
