Had such a great time playing for a packed house with double-breasted at the historic Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May, NJ.

Here’s the setlist.

I went with a very minimalist drum set up.

This is what the harp looked like with our new backdrop.

My Twitter Is Blushing

I recently finished pre-recording a live acoustic set for BlowUpRadio’s Spondylitis Benefit Webathon, which will air in October. I sent it over to Lazlo at BlowUpRadio… Not only did he listen to it right away, but he was kind enough to enthusiastically tweet on my behalf! It’s so refreshing to work with someone who is truly vested in spreading the word about independent, original music. Thank you, Lazlo!

Here are the tweets:

Hey Tiger Reunites for One Last Show at Maxwells

Hey Tiger Reunion Show 6-26-13

We couldn’t let Maxwells close without reuniting for one more show. My former band, Hey Tiger, has decided to reunite to play Maxwells one last time before this iconic NJ venue closes its doors. I have so many great memories tied to this venue – the band’s very first show, every CD release party, and countless other performances. We can’t wait to pay tribute and play there one last time!

Weds 6/26. Maxwells. Hoboken, NJ. 7:30pm. I hope you can be there.

Temple of the Kitty (with Christina Alessi and Jonathan Andrew)
Northern Soul
557 First Street
Hoboken, NJ 07030
8pm

Christina, Jonathan, and I will perform together at Northern Soul for the third time this year. What began as a one-time songwriter’s collaborative has turned into a semi-regular gig.

Here’s the basic gist. The three of us perform each other’s songs as a trio. We throw in a few covers, too. And for the first time, we’ve decided to give this little project a name. So – at least for this show – we will be called Temple of the Kitty. Stop by on Saturday to find out why.

Hope to see you there!
