Update: Unfortunately, this show had to be cancelled due to Shayfer losing his voice from an upper respiratory infection. I will let you know if there’s a reschedule date.
Shayfer James and I are playing The Way Station in Brooklyn.

And what a week it was!
Four gigs. Each unique in their own way.
First, a solo acoustic show at Bowery Electric. Sunday, March 15th. This place had a great vibe and an even better sound system and sound guy.
Performing at Bowery Electric. 3/15/15

Second, a duo performance with singer/songwriter Shayfer James at the picturesque Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn, NY.

I finished up the week with a unique show on Saturday, March 21st – A Guitar Pull sponsored by blowupradio.com. I had a fantastic time getting to meet and share the stage with David Bronson and Mike Regrets.
We took turns playing songs, talking about writing, recording, and everything in between. I always enjoy playing at Espresso Joe’s. Not only because they hosted my photography for a month back in November, but because the audience is top notch. They sit, listen, and pay attention to the show for the entire duration. It’s such a joy to see places like this still exist and I’m always so happy to play there.
Performing at Espresso Joe’s. 3/21/15.
Join me in Williamsburg tomorrow for a performance with Shayfer James. I’m super excited to be playing a show with this talented singer/songwriter/pianist. It’ll just be a duo. Shayfer on piano and voice. Myself on the drums. Hope you can join us.

Here’s the setlist from last week’s show with Shayfer James at Rockwood Music Hall. You’ll notice that the setlist is sitting on top of an old Rogers snare drum that is part of the house drum kit at Stage 1. Such a nice kit! Join us this Tuesday for the next performance.

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!
