Well we all shine on

Ten thousand thanks to The Critograph for printing a photograph of my last performance. This evening I needed a stress reliever so I went to see Vector. Vector is a brass quintet (plus one amazing drummer) from the USAF Heritage of America Band. I fancied the swing tunes and drum solos.

Booking is well under way for my next East Coast tour. Geoff and I have already confirmed several dates in Florida. I am most looking forward to travelling across this great country and meeting all sorts of new and interesting people, although I know that the tour itself will be a lot of work. Speaking of hard-working bands, check out Emanuel and the Fear. They are an eleven-piece extravaganza and group members have toured with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Spoon, The National, and a personal favorite of mine - Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears. I recently received an EP with some fantastic sounds crafted by divine songsmiths. Listen below and be sure to purchase their self-titled debut EP from Paper Garden Records!

For everyone in the lovely metropolis of Richmond, Virginia: don't forget I'll be performing there next week. The show begins at 9:30pm (or earlier if you feel like getting sauced) on Friday, March 27th at Poe's Pub. I can feel the tides turning and the winds changing already - this will be a happening, an adventure, and an occasion to remember.
