Well, it’s been a hot minute!  I’m back in the big apple after a great trip to Costa Rica last month.  I went to attend Jungle Jam Fest in Jaco, and wound up getting in to play a set on their acoustic stage.  Also, got into a jam session at the “wrap party” of the fest, playing drums (yep) backing up a couple of incredible musicians, Ryan Montbleau and Zack Deputy.  Was a hell of a good time!
After CR, i spent some days in Florida on a writing retreat, and finished some new music I’m really excited about!
I’ll be debuting 2 of the new songs at the upcoming CG Band show at Rockwood Music Hall on Feb 26th.

I’m especially excited to be performing for the first time at RocknRoll Resort Festival, happening in Kerhonkson, NY on Apr 5th.  It’s an AMAZING lineup, including Dumpstaphunk, Everyone Orchestra (w/ Steve Kimock, Jennifer Hartswick, et al), The Motet, Turkuaz, and many more great acts!  Deets on all the upcoming shows below…

Oh, and at our last show at Rockwood the band and I worked up a cover of the Lorde song “Royals”.  Well, it received quite a response!  Was overjoyed to have it be posted and tweeted about by Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s!
Check it out and share it!!  🙂
