Lots of Gigs Up and Down the East Coast

Playing lots of music this month up and down the East Coast. Friday I’m doing standup in my old stomping ground, Washington, DC then doing a recording session with the amazing Be Steadwell all weekend. I recently started playing regular solo gigs at 2637Brew in the Brewerytown neighborhood of Philly. I’ve been bringing my RC-505 Loop Station, upright bass, guitar, & Micro Korg synth. These have been super fun so far, I’ve been keeping it chill and trippy. The next ones are Feb 8 & 11. On Feb 10 I’m playing with Michael Arenella for the first time at a venue called Rathskeller in Frenchtown, NJ also for the first time. Frenchtown is a super cute Delaware River town a little north of Trenton. I’ll be bringing my growler with me to fill up at Descendants Brewing for sure. Then I’m doing an amazingly cool run of the Bearded Ladies on Ice. We are making an Ice Show about Climate Change at the Delaware River Rink in Philly featuring Jarbeaux (John Jarboe), Sam Rise, Eric Jaffe, Mk Tuomanen, Messapotamia Lefae, Michael Solonoski, David Devan, Lili St. Queer, Veronica Chapman-Smith, & David Shapiro with Music Director Heath Allen on keys and Jimmy Coleman on drums. This will be really epic! That show runs from Feb 16-25. It will be a little stressful because I’ll be heading to Joshua Tree, CA for the days off in the middle of the run. Come see if I can play the last 3 days of this run after lots of alcohol, hiking, and a red eye from Palm Springs.
