Hey Everybody! Thanks for checking in!
I started an email list thing a while ago, the big plan
being to send out my news and my gig list about once a
month. So far I’ve sent out exactly one mailing! I swear I will get it together eventually. So, if
you want to take the chance that one day you might get something, click these words. If, at
some point, you become terminally swamped by
electronic correspondences (which at the rate I’m going could never happen!), you can un-sign up too, the
convenient and automatic disconnect link comes with every
email! Also, you have the option of letting me know where you are, so I won't bother you with gig notices for stuff nowhere near you.
Onto the news:
2008 has been treating me pretty well so far. I’ve been doing a fair amount of running between NOLA and NYC, and getting to make some really great music. It’s been a pleasure working with vocalist David Devoe and his band, and our post Mardi Gras run with the Groovemasters was super fun.
This month (March) I was involved in, and co-produced, an inspiring recording project with my friend Martin Urbach, along with Tim Collins, Scott Bourgeois and Pascal Niggenkemper. It was a fantastic experience, and I’m looking forward to the disc coming out sometime in late summer.
At the end of March and the beginning of April I have three friends dropping into town: Jesse Lewis, Debbie Davies, and David Devoe - check the gigs page to see where you can hear us play together.
Later in April, I’ll be producing a disc in New Orleans for my Czech Connection, Jirka Hala. Jirka’s a great composer, and has a deep appreciation and knowlege about New Orleans and its music. We’ve gathered a funky group of musicians for the sessions, and I think it is going to be a very special recording.
May and June will find me in Europe, doing a couple different sets of gigs which will all be killer I’m sure. I’ll be reuniting with my Czech friends for a week in the Czech Republic, and then I’ll be off to Luxembourg for what is looking to be a riduculous run of gigs with the amazing and beautiful Paul Wiltgen. I’m psyched!
That’s all for now - Stay Funky!
