Just wanted to let you know that after our gig on Sunday, we decided we are finally ready to give the album the final push to complete it. It seems like an awesome time to do it. The singles have been out for several monthes now and I hope you have had a chance to listen to them and download them for free. If not, please check the audio/video page for your opportunity. Those songs will be available even after the record release, on myspace and on this website. If you like what you hear, hopfully you will enjoy the whole record. Thank you again for your support.
Man, what a fun show we had at the Tiki Bar last night opening up for Manali! It was so fun to play at such a kick ass venue. The sound was soooo awesome, the band was on fire and the energy was moving! What a night! I hopped off the stage and my heart was racing. I can only imagine the rush of a big show. I have played a few from time to time, but not really with the full band. I have been a solo acoustic act for so long, it almost seems unbelievable when I get to rock out with the guys. If I am dreaming, please don’t wake me up.

Well, if you are anything like me, I tend to run a lot more on inspiration than disclipline when it comes to the creative process. I have always been a bit lazy like that. My guitar has acted a lot like a best friend I run to sobbing because of heart break, confusion, disillusioment, or in joy and moments of gratitude. To be honest mostly lately I have just felt so busy all the time it is hard to carve out much time to pick up my ol guitar. So although I haven’t written many new songs lately it feels like a storm is brewing and some creative clouds could be on the horizon. So check the forecast and I’ll let you know if there is a chance of rain.
So for all you folks out there who have mellowed with age a bit, maybe a night of acoustic music at a place called the Library might not be such a bad idea. It sounds pretty good to me. I am trying to get connected with the old days when I use to play by myself in coffeehouses, subway cars, and on street corners. It always feels a little more intimate and spontaneous to do so. It’s a chance to see where all these songs came from and maybe where they are going. So if you don’t really feel like bangin’ at the club and getting sweaty on the dance floor come on out to the Library, but if you would rather do some shots and get a little crazy, I won’t hold it against ya.
Hey all,
Just wanted to let you know that I am playing a local venue on Saturday August 28th. It’s a cool little spot called The Library in the hip and happening corner of Long Beach on Broadway. The Library is a sweet little place to chill and I always have a good time and a low ket set there. They also have great drinks and desserts to nosh on , so come on out. I am having a special guest Solo Pony come out and do a short set as an added bonus. If you want to hear what he is up to check out his myspacepage at www.myspace.com/solopony He will be doing an acoustic set to mark the next stage in his musical evolution. Not to be missed!
The Library is located at 3412 Broadway, Long Beach CA 90803

Just wanted to let you know that I am really looking forward to the gig this Saturday night. It will be the fist time in a long time where I will just be playing by myself, like the good ol days. I have been writing some new tunes and I welcome the opportunity to let them come out and play. If you are interested in checkin it out go to my calendar page to get all the info. Alta Coffee is a great hang out that have booked me since I was a youngster. It’s nestle next to the Balboa Peninsula and is known by locals as the place to go, relax, eat and listen to some chilled out music. Hope to see you there.
