So it's been a few months into 2010. I've made good on my promise to plug back into the music scene; been playing almost every Sunday with Rich Matra's reggae/jazz band Matrajah. My friend JoBeth got me the spot, and Rich has liked my playing so far. The band is definitely a rotating ensemble, with […]

It's rare that I buy an album. Even more rare that I spin the album all the way through more than a few times before cherry picking my favorite tracks. What's most rare though, is when I repeatedly listen to an album over & over again so soon after buying it. Yet that's what's happened […]

So last night at the Midway Café, Tony Brown & his band (which includes me) celebrated the release of Music for a Shrinking World, and along with Keppie Coutts and another gentleman whose name I cannot recall at the moment, but both of them were great. Really randomly, Craig Brodhead, a guitarist who was in […]

I'm not gonna claim that last.fm is the end-all be-all of song playcounts, but it's one of the biggest sites like it out there, so this is pretty accurate I'd say.

What a week. From the moment Radiohead announced their plans for latest release ‘In Rainbows’ we’ve been itching to see how you, the […]

Taking the stage at TT's this Wednesday with Chet. The Fens and Dann Russo & the Whiskey will be joining us, so come on out for a rockin' good time! Doors at 8:30pm, 18+, and $7

So come on out & enjoy some of […]

Just want to let everyone know they need to check out The Ascetic Junkies as soon as possible; they're a really fun bluegrass/folk group that just got started here in Boston, having played their first gig Wednesday night opening for Chet.

Chet is going to be at the Paradise Lounge this Sunday, Feb 18, at 7pm, and the show is 18+! So come on out & party down with us!

Played Harpers Ferry last night with the Matt Germak Band, had a great gig, even if the cold kept most people at home. Some die hard fans came (Megan, Liz, Dann Russo, you guys rock!) Luke Eriksen & The Juice opened for us, both of them put on a good show. I […]

I'm sure anyone who happens to be reading this has noticed that the upcoming.org panel in the sidebar continues to be full of gigs, which is, as always, a Good Thing™. Boston Common, being the working cover band, is the busiest of the three groups I'm in, but Chet has 3 shows coming up […]
