Well, hey everyone! Spring is here! (OK, officially about 24 hrs. from now) It’s time for an update on what’s coming my way in the near future:
– Time Peace – We have a couple dates in April at Pub 51 on Woodville Rd., and there are a few tentative gigs penciled in for the summer so far. Stay tuned to my ‘Schedule’ page for dates and times.
– The Grape Smugglers – Comprised of 2 guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, and a horn section, the band is covering a fascinating spectrum of classic soul and R&B tunes, as well as some early rock gems, and some of the standout pop tunes of the 70s. Still no gigs booked as of right now, but our song list is filling out nicely. Look for some interesting things to happen with this ensemble.
– Fill-in & Sub Gigs – I played a few fill-in gigs with The Homewreckers in 2009, and hope to do more with this band this year. I’ve also done some fill-in gigs with Mt Fuji & the Eruptions, a good-time party band that covers all the bar favorites.
– Musicals – Spring means high school musical season is in overdrive. I recently played for Bedford High School’s outstanding production of “Urinetown: The Musical”. I’m currently doing Whiteford High School’s “Annie Get Your Gun” this week, and will soon be starting rehearsals for Ottawa Hills High School’s presentation of “Annie”. These evening rehearsals, on top of my regular day job, make for some very long, exhausting days. But, I’m glad to be playing these shows and I’m meeting some great new players.
Be sure to check out my gig schedule for details on dates, times and places.
