Espresso Joe’s Guitar Pull

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.

Rockwood Music Hall Recap

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.

Monday with Shayfer James at Rockwood Music Hall

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!
