Shows next week along East Coast; Holiday shopping; new videos & don't go left?

Before I forget, as the Holidays approach just a reminder to load-up on those Michael Jackson tribute albums, lost Bruce Springsteen tracks, compressed Beatles mp3's, re-mastered Dylan tracks, Neil Young Anniversary box-sets along with all the other legendary artists that peddle re-packed songs and albums that you already own so you can have 'em in triplicate during this spending bonanza . . . . . . ahhh. . . . OR . . . . save your money! You know all those folks anyway. I've got an album coming out in January, and you should save your money for something new and interesting.  Cool? Ok, moving on.

I'm going on one more small run of shows this month before the end of 2010, starting in New York at The Living Room on Tuesday, December 7th @ 8 PM. I've played the Living Room a half-dozen times as a solo act and this will be the first time playing with a supporting rhythm section, so it should be fun. Matt Brundrett will be joining me on drums (who I recorded with on the new record), along with Nick Tardif on up-right bass.

Also excited to get back down to Nashville, TN where I lived for 5 years and play at The Basement on Monday the 13th @ 8 PM. The rest of the schedule is below, including my return to the H Street corridor in Washington DC and home of the newly re-branded The Red Palace. Hope you all can make it out. (DC!)

VIDEOS:

I finally got around to posting some old-ish videos from a show at IOTA Club & Cafe last year as well as my two performances this past June @ Dodger Stadium. You can check them out on YouTube where I have created a Channel, as well as at Vimeo, for a higher-res viewing experience.

NEWS:

Some other news. I was invited to perform last month at the NightCat as part of a songwriting competition where I made it down to the final 5 out of over 70 entries. Unfortunately, I had to stay to the very end when I found out I received nothing. It was still a good time. Finally, I was fortunate enough to travel to the Cayman Islands over Thanksgiving with the family where I went out and took some photos of the island. Lots of blue iguanas, scenic ocean shots . . and one awesome street sign on my way to Bodden Town.

Also, if you have not done it already, go over to my new Facebook page . . . Check it out here.


Thanks. See you soon.
