September 7th, 2025. Holy Toledo.
We did NOT go to this Wendy’s. Oh my god. For as much as I’m grateful that our old friends Jason and Alissa stayed up to hang out last night / this morning – I could FEEL my sense slipping away from the conversation. Today we got up and they went out and did something…

September 6th, 2025. Let’s GOOOOOO!!!!
Getting out of Maryland – this is familiar and feels like a long-lost friend. Happy Pennsylvania! The first night out, remembering what we’ve forgotten. Rolling into town earlier than we need, killing time before the gig at a little wine shop that a friend has hooked up up with – and for clarity our friend…

September 5th, 2025. Obligatory Joy.
Last weekend was stunning. Absolutely perfect weather – strangely cool for the end of the August – and incredible outdoor gigs. Friday afternoon we loaded up for the Bethesda Streetery in Bethesda, MD. 70 degrees and sunny – it was a reschedule from a night when it’d been a hundred degrees and stormy. It simply…

September 2nd, 2025. The SPARK w ilyAIMY.
Since I was the feature, someone else needed to kick off the night. We drew from the hat and threw some back… and then we decided to kick off with Jim Barry! All the RIGHT people were here tonight tho – including David Potts-Dupre. To celebrate our Touraversary, Heather and I were the featured artists…

September 2nd, 2025. Did you think that was IT?!
I’m listening to the various chirps and rustlings and miaows and movements that means things around me are alive and proceeding. I’m packing this and that and the other and thinking a little bit about our upcoming trip and and a little more about tonight’s gig and a LOT more about whether I can play…

August 26th, 2025. The SPARK w Dave Benham.
I think I’m okay with getting slowed down by this. Driving down to the SPARK every week, I think these guys form up at around 4pm or so (they’re not there when I go through earlier). It makes me feel good to see people who seem to know something insane is going on. Dave DuGoff…

August 24th, 2025. The Music City Open Mic.
Nathaniel kicking off the night. Bass players never come out alone. Tonight we had four of the damned things. Matt did a really cool Beatles cover and a really great original tune. Ominous and subtle. A very good night. Perhaps the singular most inspirational night of music I’ve experienced in quite some time. Incredible performances,…
