Photos from Songwriters Collaborative

What a great night at Northern Soul in Hoboken, NJ! I had a fantastic time with fellow songwriters Christina Alessi, Jon Andrew, and Adam McDonough. It was so great to collaborate on each others’ songs. We threw in some awesome cover songs for good measure.

View from the stage. The place was packed!

Lyrics:

If I could get another try
Paint a second coat
Cover up the gaps I left the first time

Maybe you’d be happy
And find out what that means
And this would all be so much easier

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
I need

If I could get my mind together
Write it in a book
Spell out all these thoughts I’ve kept inside

Maybe you’d relate again
And you’d read everything
And this would all be so much easier

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
I need

If I could get you back again
I’d change everything
Give you something you have never seen

I don’t know where this takes us
I’m not sure if it ends
I only know I’m never going back to who I’ve been

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
I need

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
For me

Live from My Dining Room

In case you missed the broadcast last weekend… I’m releasing my entire performance from the Spondylitis Association Benefit Webathon as a digital album.

Live from My Dining Room

Live from My Dining Room was recorded live in front of a not-so-captive audience of my two cats. The recording is purposely quiet, intimate, and raw.

No auto-tune. No overdubs. No editing. Just my voice, guitar, and whatever other sounds occured during the performance. The recording features eight original songs in their simplist form.

Download it for FREE here: http://joshbicknell.bandcamp.com/

HINT: You’ll need to click on the Buy Now button to download the full recording. You can buy it for $0 if you wish.

In leiu of paying me for the recording, please consider making a donation to the Spondylitis Association of America. From now through the end of October, your donation will be matched if you use this link: http://www.spondylitis.org/store/productlist_sm.aspx?department=41
