In 2013 Mike Viola released a new album .... Well, sort of....  GHOUL is not a traditional record, it is a collection of - trading cards! It worked like this: GHOUL is a very limited edition set of 24 collectible cards. Each card contains autobiographical stories written by Mike Viola and a download code for an exclusive unreleased song. You can buy a pack for 5 USD.

Teddy Thompson & Kelly Jones recorded an album together with the help of our co-writer Bill DeMain and producer Mike Viola . It’s called Little Windows and will be out April 1, 2016. On their debut collaboration, Teddy Thompson and Kelly Jones give listeners ten engaging views of the joys and sorrows of love and the vagaries of the human heart - from wide-eyed wonderment (" Wondering ") to lingering nostalgia (" I Thought That We Said Goodbye "), from promises (" Make A Wish On Me ") and pleas (" Don't Remind Me ") to sad self-deception (" Better At Lying "). Teddy and Kelly first sang together at LA's Club Largo in 2011. A George Jones song. The harmony blend was goosebump good. It seemed only natural to do more. The songs create complex emotions with simple honesty, that measure up to those by favorite artists like the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly and Sam Cooke.
