I had a great time as a special guest of Jason Waters at Taste Budd’s Cafe in Red Hook. We covered Blackbird as a duet and then I played 2 of my own songs, People In My Head and Fire Hydrant Revolution. It was a beautiful day and a great crowd. Thanks!
My friend Jason Waters is finishing up an east coast tour that took him down to Nashville and all over in between NYC and Tennessee. He’s playing Taste Buds in Red Hook tomorrow and asked if I would do a song or two. His set goes from 1 to 3 and I’ll be there around 2:30. He’s great and I’m looking forward to joining him. Hope you can make it!
We just finished the studio version of my song ‘Summer Child”. We recorded it for the film “Theresa is a Mother”. This recording is a guitar vocal. I hope to record it soon with a full band. Gabe Schnider plays the guitar in this recording. We recorded music with John Ferarra in his Hudson Valley studio and recorded vocals and mastered with Mark Godwin in NYC. Devin Ilaw helped me prepare for the vocal recording and was with us in the studio. It plays during the closing credits of the film and a piano version makes up the main film score. Hope you like it! Bye!
Hi, I just played another set at the Bitter End! It was so much fun. I played two completely new songs that I haven’t played out of my bedroom before and I didn’t totally mess up! I want to thank Larry Oakes for letting me play there again. Also Avalon Magazine editor and friend Linda Black for bringing magazines to hand out. Some family and friends came, even my sister’s drum teacher and his son. It was so amazing and fun. I love preforming and being on stage. I think I was more nervous for this show than any other. My parents say that being nervous means I care, I really do. John’s Pizza for dinner and then 16 Handles for dessert with my friend Anastasia after my set. I had Pomegranate Tart, Dolce de Leche and Peanut Butter yogurt with Rainbow Cookie, Cheese Cake, lots of chocolate and some fruit so it was partially healthy. Hope to see you at my next show!
I was in NYC last week recording vocals at Mark Godwin’s studio. Devin Ilaw was there working with me as well. Mark’s cat Smuckers was helping too, a real studio cat.
