Mixed Reality Show
I know, it’s been a few months since I posted a new blog…Call me a slacker. Last night I did something I have never done before. I played a live show at RW’s BBQ in Brookfield, CT and streamed live video from the show into Second Life. I’m no video star for sure, and I’m… more->
More Open Mics
I’ve been trying to play one open mic a week as much as I possibly can. I have missed a couple of weeks, but got back on track this week with the Thursday night open mic at Hideaway Cafe in Newtown, CT. I had originally planned to play the Georgetown Saloon, but realized their acoustic… more->
Five States in Two Days
I’m writing this post in the stupor of near exhaustion after a few days of circumnavigating the Northeast. I Â passed through five states in two days–Massachusetts for an open mic, Pennsylvania for a birthday party, through Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to get where I needed to go, and then back home for a… more->
Montreal Jam 2011
I’m still basking in the afterglow of this year’s Montreal Jam, held July 29, 30 and 31 up in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. Â An awesome confluence of musicians and fans, this gathering seems to get better each year. Â 20 Second Life musicians graced the stage on Saturday and Sunday, including Gandalf Mornington, Stratus Mactavish, Montrealer Moody, Montian… more->
Open Mike Night
My steady stream of gigs has seemingly dried up, and I’m left to my own devices, hawking for gigs like a Girl Scout selling cookies. Unfortunately, I don’t have the Thin Mints or the green uniform to boost the deal. Â A wise person (my live-in roadie and sound man, Rich) advised me to get myself… more->
The Song of the Stolen Guitar, Part 2
Back in January, I wrote a blog post about a song I was going to write memorializing my stolen guitar. I finally started work on that song, creating the first verse a few months ago. Strangely enough, this song has taken forever to materialize. As I write this, the song is about 85% done, I… more->
Video Podcast
Last night I was part of a video podcast shoot to promote our upcoming show at The Outer Space in Hamden, CT.  The night didn’t get off to an auspicious start when I got lost in the wilds of Naugatuck, trying to find  Vision Recording Studios. Thanks Google Maps! At least I wasn’t the only… more->
Two Shows
Somehow, the god of live shows has been smiling down on me. Where there once was drought, there is now fruition. Starting in February and reaching all the way to May, my live show dance card is full. I’m playing SoNo Caffeine on Thursday, March 17, Maggie Mcflys in Middlebury on Wednesday, March 30, and… more->
The Song of the Stolen Guitar
I have let this song mull around in my head for the last year and a half, it’s time to get off my butt and write it. I’m sure people are tired of hearing the story of that fateful day in St. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, when my guitar was stolen from my car. To… more->
The Story Behind 40 Years On
After a whole day of acting like a kid on Christmas Eve, I have just released my latest song, 40 Years On. I finished it in November of 2009 and finally got around to recording it this past week. I have been looking forward to its release for a while now, and was very excited… more->
