Opening for Bo Bice. The Crofoot: Pontiac, Michigan. March 13th.
Friday the 13th, and all of our guitars were spooked. In spite of it all…still a good show, I hope.
Before the show, I hopped off the bus at the hotel to get a little work done. I hate to say it but even a fancy tour [...]

Campus for Human Development. Nashville, TN. March 10th.
I played in the “day room” for the homeless population that use this room to get out of the elements. This was the 2nd time I’ve played the CHD, and again it was moving, and humbling to get to play for these folks.

Genghis Cohen. West Hollywood, CA. February 20th.
This is a beautiful, small club in West Hollywood. It’s known as an “acousitc” club, but don’t let that fool you. There is definitely some MAJOR music being made there on a nearly nightly basis. The room is set up like a small chapel with lovely old wooden church [...]

Gig #24

January 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Bluebird Cafe, Gigs, addiction

The Bluebird Cafe. Jan 25th.
I love the Bluebird. It’s not the rockin’-est vibe ever, but it always sounds good, and there are always music fans there. Hard to beat. In November of 2007, Bluebird founder, Amy Kurland, entrusted her famed music room to NSAI. Personally, I think this was a stellar move, and a perfect [...]

Day 5

HOWEVER, I am also having the profound realization of just HOW MANY DAYS 90 days are. It’s not profound in the sense that it’s just hard, or a lot of [...]
