Well that was awesome. It’s hard to believe I’ve been making music with Christina Alessi for 20 years now. It’s so effortless that it feels like it must’ve been a lifetime or more. I couldn’t be more proud of her at this moment, opening for Joan Osborne! And I couldn’t have been more proud to share it with her on stage.
Here are some video clips from my Instagram from our performance!
I had a fantastic time playing at The Hutton last month. Here was the very ambitious setlist!

What a great night for music at The Hutton in Jersey City. It had been a minute since my last solo acoustic gig. Really enjoyed this one. Twenty-eight songs on the setlist!
I had a great time playing for a very attentive audience at Espresso Joe’s in Keyport, NJ on Saturday, November 15th. The venue is now original-only and it was great to dust off a few older originals for this set. Thanks to some handy iPhone bootlegging by my dad, you can now watch the entire show on YouTube.

I had a fantastic time playing at the Hutton on April 20, 2019. It was a rainy day, but the sun cleared in time for a clear evening and a nice crowd. I played two hours – a mix of covers and originals, including some new ones that I tried on for size and will likely bring to future gigs.
Here’s the full setlist:
I had a fantastic time playing at the Hutton in Jersey City on Friday, December 7, 2018. Ty Tuschen and I played for two hours straight. It was a great time exploring some new covers and original songs. Looking forward to being back there again soon.
Here’s the setlist!
I had a fantastic time playing for attentive listeners at the opening of the NonLinear Knitting Studio Gallery. If These Walls Could Talk was a celebration of local art and music and it was a pleasure to play.
In the spirit of the show’s name, I covered Tom Petty’s, “Walls No. 3.” Here is a clip of it from Instagram. (BTW, you can follow me on Instagram @joshbicknell.)

Great times! Can’t wait to go back to this studio for the next event.
I had a fantastic time playing for a nice crowd at the Hutton on Friday, September 28th. Joining me was Ty Tuschen on electric guitar as we played for a little over two hours.
Here we are:
And here was the setlist:
Here’s a recap of my recent performances.
This was a really fun show at Finnegan’s Pub in Hoboken, NJ. We were without Ty on guitar for most of the show and it was fun to explore these songs sans lead guitar. As usual, we all crammed ourselves on this stage…
And then we played a nice mix of originals and covers! Here was the setlist.
The next night, I was joined by Ty Tuschen as I did my singer/songwriter thing at The Hutton in Jersey City, NJ. After fueling up on a delicious meal, we played for more than two hours straight, mixing my original songs with some wide-ranging covers.
We didn’t actually get through the entire setlist, but we had good intentions! Here it was.
The weather finally turned warm and sunny in a major way… and just in time for the first Groove on Grove of the season! It was a pleasure to kick it off by playing with Christina Alessi & the Toll Collectors.
We played outdoors at the Grove Street PATH Plaza.
This was the setlist. The keys and mic stand kept it from blowing away in the wind!
The day ended with a beautiful sunset. Here’s the pedestrian plaza on Newark Ave. in Jersey City just down the block from where we performed.
