I just got some good news, and I’m quite excited to share it with you.  I was just asked to play on June 5th at Mercury Lounge as part of The Dig’s Album Release show!

They’ve been touring the nation over the past 6 months with the likes of The Walkmen, The Joy Formidable, and Portugal The Man to name a few.  They are, as they say in the business, on the rise.

You may know them as the band who stole my drummer away from me last year or as the backing band for the farewell show of this horrendous band…but don’t let any of that fool you – I am quite excited about this.

I suggest getting your tickets in advance…this will probably sell out.  OMG – There’s even a Facebook Invite – RSVP NOW!

Saturday, June 5th – 10PM
Mercury Lounge (217 East Houston)
$10 – Tickets Here

**With Red Lions @ 9,  The Grates @ 11, The Dig @ 12

Covers: Yellow Bird By Bess Rogers

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments

I’ve never been too big on covers…it’s hard enough to remember my own songs let alone learn someone else’s…but it seems the times are changing.

It all started a while back when Mr. Martin Rivas had me on the infamous Back Scratch Sessions.  Luckily for me, I drew the name of the lovely Bess Rogers.  I got the chance to completely rework and ruin a perfectly good song, and I must say, it was pretty enjoyable.

So in an effort to stay creative and keep my sanity, I’m gonna continue making home recordings of (my take on) some songs of people I think you should know about….let’s see where this takes us…

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my first in a series of covers – Yellow Bird by Bess Rogers.

In Other News: I will be playing the new stage at Rockwood Music Hall one week from today!  I’m opening for my good friend and great songwriter Paul Brill, so it will be an early show!
