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.
And here’s a new cover song we debuted. This video was captured during sound check.
“Sweet Nothing” http://youtu.be/5gGuchZPkRs
It’s that time of year again. Ardith, Kristy, and I will drive down to Exit 0 off the Garden State Parkway and host an evening of double-breastedmusical entertainment at the historic Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May, NJ.

Check out this video from last year’s performance. The song is “Easy to Leave,” from Suit Yourself.
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:
listening to @joshbicknell and trying to figure out why his music isn’t everywhere. So damn good!

Just remembered you can hear @joshbicknell for yourself with his amazing set from last year’s Banding Together http://t.co/uevbD7nIhJ

One last time with feeling.
Tonight at 8pm sharp. (We’re the first band so be sure to get there before 8pm.) Maxwells. Hoboken, NJ.
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.
You can now stream the Guitar Pull featuring J Orellana, Keith Beck, and yours truly on blowupradio.com. In case you missed it when it aired back in March, you can stream it on demand. After clicking the link, look for the air date March 17th, 2013.
Totally unfiltered and completely laid back, you can listen to the three of us play original songs and talk about everything from the songwriting process to Wonder Woman. Enjoy.
Please join me this week for two performances in New Jersey.

Join us for this very acoustic, very intimate performance at Espresso Joe’s in Keyport, NJ. It’ll be our first performance at this venue. I’ve heard great things and am excited to check this place out.

Temple of the Kitty (with Christina Alessi and Jonathan Andrew)

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!
I am honored that the TCNJ Percussion Ensemble will be performing my arrangement of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” at their spring concert this weekend. I hope you can attend!
