Banding Together: A Benefit Webathon for the Spondylitis Association of America

Each year, it gives me great joy to record a live set of original music to benefit a great cause.

Lazlo, who runs NJ’s blowupradio.com, has put together a webathon of epic proportions… all in the name of raising money for the Spondylitis Association of America. He combines his talents for gathering some of the best local original music artists with his dedication to finding a cure for this disease. It’s truly a labor of love for him. And for that reason, it gives me great pleasure each and every year to take part in this webathon.

I’ve pre-recorded a live acoustic set of original music specifically for this event. Just me, my acoustic guitar, my voice, and my songs. All songs were recorded live in one take.

From Friday, October 17th through Monday, October 20th you can tune in online to listen to the benefit webathon and donate to a great cause. There are two online stages. Each will be broadcasting live sets beginning noon on Friday and not finishing until 11:30pm on Monday! That’s a lot of live music! I encourage you to check out the full schedule of performances right here.

My set will air four times over the course of the webathon:

I’ve donated one of my songs to the exclusive compilation album for this event. It’s only available to those who contribute a tax-deductible donation!

It was a lot of fun to pre-record this year’s set from my apartment. I took a different approach on the technical side of things. I’ll share some of those details in a future post.

Last-Minute Solo Acoustic Show on Saturday

Sure, it’s last minute. But sometimes last-minute gigs can be the most fun and spontaneous. If you’re around on Saturday, I hope you stop by. I’m going to try out at least one new original song and also a new cover.

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.
