“So what’s the sense of me sitting here leaving
When any ole day I might be even
And Lord knows that New York City’s got
a lot to do in it!”

-Gram Parsons (lyrics from: Big Mouth Blues)

Oh my goodness… and phuck yeah!

So friends, my good friends, I am proud to say that I will finally be making the leap out to the east coast to persue a slough of new adventures and dive into new aspects there in the music industry. I am stoked to rock it and entertain my enthusiastic fiasco in the big city along with joining up with my love and partner in crime.  I’ll return to Santa Cruz next week to re-group and then take off the following week and the ridiculous smile on my face duly reflects the extent of my excitement, for real.

It’s crazy to be leaving my home on the west coast after so long but I feel that I have adequately conquered California and all points in between and that I will be branching out to all of the new and outrageous opportunities that beckon me while moving forward to rock it coast to coast. Onward and upward!

So, I’ve been kickin’ it in Virginia for a few weeks now. Came here after Turbine show in Chicago and a little bit before the Hampton Phish shows… which of course fucking rocked. The shows as a whole were super tight and the band was showing immense respect and gratitude to all of us and portrayed it gracefully by playing so well and really defined. More on this later…but a seriously fuckin’ awesome weekend taking in the music and the familiar wild scene.

And my friends in Santa Cruz have planned a going away party on the short notice of my recent decision to make the move earlier than planned and the gig for this engagement will be for this Sunday 3/21 meanwhile we have also set up a city party to rock it in San Francisco next Tuesday before we leave (to drive across the country) and it will informally be a Phoreal Records Production with many friends and guest musicians so please join us for 3 sets of rock’n good times. The SF party will be held at The Blackthorn Tavern in the Sunset District 7pm til close. Opening set starts out with an illusive solo showcase by New York’s finest friend,  Jeremy Hilliard, followed by an accompanyment with our company’s own beast of the axe, Sean Leahy who will clock in second set along with Daria “Shani” Johnson on drums and Pete Canton on bass as well as many others to join in during the third set collaboration fandango.

Would love to have you there if you can attend and if you cannot make it, we’d love to stop by while we pass through your state on our way east, that means you Vegas, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, hopefully NC and VA.

Much Love and much more to come…
