2009, Here We Come

Hiya,

I hope you had happy holidays and are enjoying the new year.

December was great for me. I played a bunch of solo shows across New Jersey and Brooklyn. I got to hear a ton of great new music, catch up with some old friends, and make some new ones. I'm looking forward to more of all that in January, with the added bonus of getting back to playing with Jimmy and John again. Here again, we have a bunch of new shows.

I'll be playing two more solo shows this weekend, alongside my friends in Starfish HQ as they tour their way Down South. After that, the full band will be back in action for a show in New Brunswick and a show in Philly. At the end of the month, I'll be playing another solo show at an all acoustic venue in Brooklyn.
