So most of you might know we have a new studio release coming out in May - May 23rd to be exact, at Valentine's Music Hall and Beer Joint in Albany, NY. The album is called "Bound for Abiquiu," and it features ten original songs and four fantastic musicians. Recorded live on a Sunday morning to capture that going to church feeling, the album is something we're all proud to share with you. The CD release party will feature, in addition to Dan Johnson and the Expert Sidemen, Oneonta's pride and joy Driftwood, as well as Albany's own Grassroots Rebels and the Black Fox River Project. We hope to see you there. 8 pm. $10.

While getting ready to release the new one, I went back and listened to a bunch of our rehearsals and live shows, including some recordings we did from our long running Tuesday night residency at Valentine's, Americana Tuesdays. I came across one recording that I really like, so I spent some time tweaking the levels and decided to put it up on Bandcamp, for posterity like.
There's some dings and dents in the songs but I kind of like them and I kind of think these came out pretty great. The vocals are a little far back in the mix, but that's okay. If you want the lyrics, send me a message. Otherwise, hope you enjoy these special moments.

Meantime, I'm out in Chicago - home of Prine and Waters, and place where Monroe danced. I've eaten Polish, walked in the rain, and even had some dude get in my face over a quarter. I went to Quimby books and the Chicago Music Exchange. Tonight I get a train back east. Farewell sweet blue lake and big dark city.
