Hometown show this week and nice article in Northern Virginia Magazine

The last hometown show for 2009 is this Thursday at Jammin’ Java. It’s part of a two week tour I’m doing with the great Peter Bradley Adams and Rosi Golan. The shows have been going soooo good and I’m excited to bring it to my home base this week. Let’s pack the place! Get tickets here.

Also shows coming up in Philly, Hoboken, Easton, MD, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and more. Check the dates here.

If you’re in Northern Virginia check out the new issue of Northern Virginia Magazine for a cool article / interview about what we’re doing to raise money for the new record.

“Keep Me in Your Heart”

Here’s a free download for today. It’s called “Keep Me in Your Heart” ~ I hadn’t been playing for a while but was reminded of it when I had some requests to play it at shows. It’s from the self-titled record that came out two years ago. I remember writing most of it on one sitting one night when the power went out.

Enjoy and please spread the word!

Should I be concerned?

Only in NJ is a truck bearing these warnings parked outside the studio.

My version of Bob Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”

I had been playing my own version of this song for a while and finally recorded it on my last full length record. The guitar is tuned to Open C (CGCGCE) Capo II.

Enjoy and please spread the word!

After the storm

I took this this morning in Ocean Grove, NJ looking toward Asbury Park. The morning after incredible wind and rain. The boardwalk was covered in sand like snow.

Happy Monday ~ here’s “Dervish”

This one’s been a fan favorite for a while. It’s an instrumental inspired by the sound of some Arabic music my friend jc morrison gave to me in nyc. Specifically the music of Simon Shaheen and VM Bhatt.

The middle part is improvised which makes it a lot of fun for me to play live.

Enjoy and please spread the word!

Woody Guthrie

Recording today

Leonard Cohen on his own songs…

“For me they’re just tunes that can survive my critical examination - it has to satisfy the heart and the mind and the gut.”

So good.
