Woah, the summer is starting to fly by, and with that, my impending completion of another year on the planet.
I’ll be doing my annual birthday show this year @ Rockwood Music Hall.
Very excited as Rockwood is one of my favorite rooms in the city!
We’ll be performing new music, AND, have just confirmed a couple of special guests!

Check the poster, RSVP on the facebook event page, and mark your calendars!!

At the end of August I’ll be going out on a short solo tour in the northeast over Labor Day Weekend (I was invited to perform at the Campfire Festival at Club Passim in Boston and booked a short run of shows around it).
As of now, in addition to MA, i’ll be in Delaware and PA.

Check below or the “Shows” page for details, and PLEASE help spread the word if you have friends in the towns i’m hitting who’d be interested to come out!
(there should be at least 1 additional show being added, so check back!)

A few weeks ago, I found out I was awarded runner up in a Reverbnation competition, and got invited to attend the Roots Rock Reivival, up in Catskills, NY. it was a sort of master class camp for musicians who are superfans of the Allman Brothers’ Band. Drummer, Butch Trucks, and bassist, Oteil Burbridge hosted 4 days of workships, along w/ Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars. They were also the house band and did shows every night. I got to attend the event for free, and get into some really fun jam sessions with them and the attendees. The setting, the vibe, the food, everything was spectacular, and I got to meet some really great people! What an experience!!

The day after returning from upstate i flew to WI for Steel Bridge Songfest 9. I’ve been attending this fest for the last 8 years but this year was truly amazing.  I had some great songwriting collaborations (including getting to work w/ the amazing Louise Goffin), and had a bunch of really good gigs around town! AND, I had the great privilege of being invited to perform w/ JACKSON BROWNE at the fest’s finale (i had last performed w/ him at SBSF in 2008) Here’s a couple pics (more on my facebook page!)

Next Friday, I’ll be performing w/ the band at the Bud & Roach Seasonal Showcase at Spin. We’re one of 5 bands that made it into this final round (was an online competition.. THANKS again to all who voted!!).  Don’t know much about the venue other than it’s owned by Susan Sarandon and has ping pong?  What else do you need to know though really?? 😉

I recently started a side project, working w/ an amazing singer from France named Anne Sila.  Well, we posted a little live performance clip of our song “Tell Me’ up on youtube, and it’s been REALLY well received–gotten 2,000 plays in a week and a half!!   We’ve both been blown away by the response!
