This is the message that Seth Horan got from Tom Bianchi regarding the fact that the other two members of his Three Men on Bass were stuck in New Jersey. I’m sitting at Joe Squared as Life becomes slightly difficult and goes faintly awry. This show was put together around the idea of putting together a…

Kelly Zullo doing the only thing you CAN do while waiting to be soundchecked… sleeping on the couch. We have a Zullo. Kelly Zullo from Nashville, TN to be specific. We met her in Indianapolis about a year ago and then played another show with her the last time we were in Nashville and she…

I do a very, very good job… if I do say so myself. Monday had the potential for disaster. I was getting really ramped up, fearing Monday’s Laurelpalooza event. I had booked some wonderous groups, I had a schedule, a back up schedule, sound, back up sound… I’d advertised I was prepped and stoked and…

Okay – I’ve been sitting at Perk alot for the sake of soaking it in lest it die… but today the music might be pushing me to the limit. The chorus “I don’t want to Love you, I just want to fuck you. You should bring your friends too. I’ll fuck you and them too”…

NOMAD performing at the Crickett’s Fat Daddy Saloon open mic, helping me advertise for Laurelpalooza. I think the audience there had no idea what hit them. I don’t remember which artist got this going – but someone brought the funk and inspired a little dance party at Java Mammas. Rick Millman gets to be my…

Stuck in New York City traffic AGAIN. It seems unfair that we’ve had to contend with being simply motionless twice in three days and I don’t at all understand how anyone operates here. You’ve got to get into the city SOMEHOW, you can’t just teleport in – and if you’ve got gear of any sort…

“Every Rose Has It’s Thorn”. I’d argue there is NO time when this song is okay. We’re stuck in traffic on I-95 fighting our way north through Connecticut and Heather is rocking out. Oh God. The lips are pursed a la Mick Jagger, we’re moving slow enough that there’s AIR GUITAR for the SAKE of…

White Rose Confession kicking ass at the Victoria Station Cafe in Putnam, CT. Heather and I performing at the brand new Victoria Station Cafe. It is glorious. The cats were last funny come darkness. We spend the night in dread of little razor-sharp claws coming from unexpected directions, brought suddenly awake by strange yowlings and…

Last year I adored the Maryland Faerie Festival. It was a magical event with the fey out in force, wishing trees, a unicorn… this year I got to see very little of it. With temperatures pegging 110 degrees both Saturday and Sunday, the weather alone was reason enough to just want to curl up and…

June 5th, 2008 – moving House of Musical Traditions.
November 13th, 2018 For whatever reason, I didn’t really talk much about HMT’s move in the Journal the first time around – but as I’m going back through, well – House of Musical Traditions has become more central to parts of my Life than I ever expected it to – and of course it’s where…
