Howdy. I’m finally getting used to blogging on a regular basis now. I’m getting a lot of good feedback about my new site - thanks again everyone for helping me spread the word. I’ve just got a few quick things to update you on.
On Thursday, June 4th, I am playing at my band’s long-time stomping ground - Pour House Music Hall in downtown Raleigh. This will be a very unique show as it is a night of singer/songwriters, singing and telling the stories behind their songs. It’s shaping up to be a fun night. Also on the bill is Caruso - a trio featuring Sam Fisher of Weekend Excursion fame, Mark Kano - from the longtime regional powerhouse, Athenaeum, and good friend and fellow troubadour, Justin Trawick. This will be my last big show before I move out of Raleigh.
Tickets are $7 at the door that evening. Doors open at 8pm with the first act going on at 9pm. Please try and make it out. Oh, and if you’re on Facebook, make sure you check out the EVENT PAGE.
In other, yet related, news, I am moving to NYC this coming July, in hopes of spreading my music to as many people as possible without falling flat on my face in the process. I have called Raleigh my home for the past 8 years and I’m pretty sad to say “see you later” (not “goodbye”) to this town. I know Raleigh like I know the back of my hand and it’s going to be tough starting all over - especially in a slightly larger city ;), but NYC is where my heart compass is pointing right now, and I have to follow it.
In other, and less sad, news, the highly anticipated Brooks Wood BAND CD (you know - the one that was slated for release back in August of 2008), will finally be finished during the next two months. Nobody is more excited about this than me and I can’t wait to get these songs in everyone who loved our music’s ears. Keep checking back for updates on its progress.
That’s all for now. Much love!
