Is that a gig?

It is! I’m playing a show tomorrow night with a band called Matrajah, at the Woodbine Club, located at 57 Blue Hill Ave, Boston MA.

More from the Basement

So, I know I just posted about this, but I watched a few more of these, and the version of Gnarls Barkley's “Crazy” is just a really awesome, different take on the song. If I could, I'd embed it here, but there's no mechanism for that at the moment, so head on over and check […]

Live music like it’s meant to be

Found a new favorite website, courtesy of, of all places, Deus Ex Malcontent. It's From the Basement, a website set up to showcase live performances from artists in a studio setting. Filmed entirely in HD, sans host and audience, and lovingly produced by Nigel Godrich, the engineer & producer best known for his work with […]

Matthew Sorensen, composer extraordinaire

On March 28, 2009, my friend Matt Sorensen premiered his first orchestral work with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra at Plymouth's Memorial Hall. I had the pleasure of staying the weekend with Matt & his family at the house he grew up in. Our mutual friends from Berklee, Will Mitchell, Joe Koubek, Alison Batignani, & Vlad […]

Call the Sledgehammer

Amber spotted this on the internets, and, it being one of my favorite songs, especially to play, I just had to reblog it. This movie requires Flash Player 9 swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/9i4YyiUHuoM&rel=0&showsearch=0&fs=1", "swf68a02", "425", "344", "9.0.0", "", {}, {wmode: "window", menu: "false", quality: "high", bgcolor: "#FFFFFF", allowFullScreen: "true"}, {}); (Via Amber’s twitter stream)

Maria McNeil @ Café Luna

Maria McNeil, the R&B/jazz songstress I play bass for, has the first of an ongoing monthly engagement at Café Luna this coming Saturday. Details can be found to the right in the sidebar, or at the facebook event. Hope to see lots of folks out there!

Boston Symphony Awesome

So I just spotted this delightful nugget of joy on the BSO Facebook page: Big News from the BSO! We are pleased to announce that a generous donor has come forward to fund tickets for patrons under 40 years old to attend Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at Symphony Hall on a regular basis. "I have been attending […]

Maria McNeil @ Café Luna

Had a spectacular gig at La Luna Caffé this past Saturday with Maria McNeil. It's a great little place just on the southern edge of Central Square, right on Mass Ave across from the firehouse. We got started around 9:30pm, played a great set, but after we finished up, one of the employees asked us […]

Maria McNeil Band @ Felt

Played a gig with the Maria McNeil Band this past Thursday at Felt, a club on Washington St, just north of the Theatre District here in Boston. While a decent place, it's not my favorite venue to play, mostly because it was never intended for live music, the stage area is a bit tight & […]

So yeah…

So I haven't posted in over a month, which is a bit lame. Anyway, life has been a bit hectic. Doing classes full-time (16 credits folks), gigging weekly, occasional trips out-of-town for gigs or recreation, and on top of all that Amber moved in for the summer. So yeah, it's been overwhelming, but in a […]
