Autumn is by far my favorite season and what better way to enjoy it than to have a ton of gigs! I’ll do my best to recount all of the activity.
Parlour Bells had an interesting October with two gigs at Boston’s best new joint Radio. The first show was a set of originals followed by a Halloween show playing as Jane’s Addiction two weeks later. Glenn and I are huge Jane’s fans and it was very cool to play dress up and play the tunes of a band which transformed us nearly twenty years ago. An interesting and unimaginable thing happened too. Glenn and I recorded an acoustic cover of their song “Classic Girl” to help promote the show and as we spread it around the internet it came across the ears of Dave Navarro who listened and tweeted that it was a great cover! Cool. Check it out for yourself.
The show as Jane’s Addiction itself was great too.
Here’s a video of us doing “Summertime Rolls”
As we roll into the Holiday season we’re working on our next single to be released soon. More details to come! In the meantime here’s a pic of Glenn tracking vocals earlier today.
In addition to keeping busy with Parlour Bells I had an equally enjoyable couple of months with Old Jack. We played 4 gigs including Oktoberfest in Harvard Square, CMJ in New York and Patriot Place in Foxboro.
We released a new Maxi Single……
And were nominated for a Boston Music Award as “Best Live Act”
Lastly, on November 18th I played my final gig with Brendan Boogie and the Best Intentions. I really enjoyed the time I spent with Brendan and he is a talented, hard working and professional musician…and a cool guy. I look forward to continuing playing with him in Parlour Bells and whatever else may come along.
