Two Great Shows Next Week!
Hello out there!
Just finished a trip up to Asheville, NC, which was a wonderful chance to catch up with friends (and family) and soak in some of the peace that can only come from a beautiful environment and inviting community like the one there.
I had a blast on Monday night at Bobo Gallery playing with saxophonist Jason Moore and guitarist Shane Perlowin. I’ve known Jason for almost ten years now—we recorded two albums with Simon Lott back in 2006, one released and one unreleased—and I feel as comfortable playing with him as with anyone I’ve ever played with. One of the truly great listeners I’ve encountered in my life, and the ideas just flow out of his horn. Shane I had never met, seen, or heard before, but I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of connecting with a new voice. If you haven’t, please check out his new acoustic record Shaking the Phantom Limb, which I listened to about five times on the way back to NOLA. Can’t wait to play with both of these guys again soon!
Anyway, I wanted to announce a couple of shows that I’m very excited about participating in next week, both with my good friend Thomas Johnson. Monday we’ll be at Bacchanal Wine and Spirits with special guest Helen Gillet, one of the finest musicians and most creative voices in New Orleans. Saturday we’ll be at the Hi-Ho Lounge, and my electronic/experimental project redrawblak (featuring drum virtuoso Simon Lott!) will be opening along with Rev Gooden’s trio The Big Way. I couldn’t ask for two better evenings of music! I hope you can come be a part of it.
