I must admit, I was a bit nervous about having only about a week to learn an entire set’s worth of material. But I’m happy to say that Monday’s gig at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 was pretty great.
First, the crew lowered the piano from the ceiling. Then we took the stage. Here we are. Shayfer, Josh, Jeremy.
Here’s the setlist/whiskey.
Overall, a successful night.
If you haven’t yet, please go check out Shayfer’s music over at www.shayferjames.com.
I’m looking forward to playing Rockwood Music Hall – Stage 2 (the bigger stage!) with Shayfer James in just a few days! His drummer recently injured his arm in a snowboarding accident so I’m stepping in behind the kit for this gig. I’ve spent the last week learning his tunes and it all seems to be coming together quite nicely for Monday night’s performance. I hope you can make it!

New York friends… you asked for it. So here it is. I’m playing Sunday on the Lower East Side. It’s a free show and not too late for a Sunday, either. I hope you can make it!
Early Sunday evening, I’ll be playing as part of the band backing Christina Alessi. We’re performing at the Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side, which is arguably one of the best live venues in NYC to discover new live music. Every single time I walk into the place, I see a great band. And there’s no cover charge! Win. Win.
