Casa Monica gig!!!

July 30th, 2008

I’ll be playing at the Casa Monica hotel’s 95 Cordova Lounge in historic St. Augustine on August 9th with my quartet.  It is super swank and a great room for live music so I hope to see you there!

And, you might want to check out this nifty little slide show Wes Lester put together from photos he has taken at various gigs.

Ocean 60 photos are up!!!

June 17th, 2008

We had a blast playing at Ocean 60 June 6th and 7th and Wes Lester, photographer extraordinaire, took some really creative shots in the night club lighting. The quartet was Von Barlow on drums, Randall Haywood on trumpet and flugel, Paul Creel on acoustic bass and myself on vox and geetar. This was pretty much the ideal quartet and I’d love to book it some more, but, alas, Randall is off to Julliard in August (good for him though, he is a great musician!!!). Have a look at the PHOTOS!.

CD’s are for sale on CD Baby

May 29th, 2008

The web site revision is mostly finished. Please let me know if you like it (or not) and also if you experience any difficulties with it. I’ve been selling CD’s at gigs and now they are available online at CDBaby.com. CD Baby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians. Please support independent musicians and the great folks at CD Baby by purchasing a CD or two.

Upcoming gigs of note are May 30 at The Tasting Room in St Augustine with Eric Mason on drums and Sean Tarleton on bass and June 6+7 where I’ll be leading a quartet with Von Barlow on drums, Paul Creel on bass and Randall Haywood on trumpet. We plan on raising the roof off the joint so I hope to see you there!
