Some Pre-News News

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Well it's been a little while since we last communicated - I have been residing in NYC since February now and things are going quite well overall here in the big smoke I have to say! I've been exploring the streets of this fine City and a big thing for me is discovering the local Anti-Folk scene, which as 'scenes' go is quite amazing! A lot of history and SO many talented and inspiring artist. I've been playing songs quite regularly at the infamous open mics (or Antihoots) - as well as doing a few shows at the legendary Sidewalk Cafe on Ave A (Speaking of which I'll be playing on Wed July 14 at 11pm - and I've just been booked to performing at the Anti-Folk Festival in August! More details in the 'Shows' section - very exciting) And I have to say I'm feeling inspired in a way that I haven't really felt before - I'm feeling excited about the future here!

More TBA soon!
