This Week’s Performances
Please join me this week for two performances in New Jersey.
Friday – double-breasted in Keyport
Friday, May 17th
double-breasted
Espresso Joe’s
50 West Front Street
Keyport, NJ 07735
7pm
Join us for this very acoustic, very intimate performance at Espresso Joe’s in Keyport, NJ. It’ll be our first performance at this venue. I’ve heard great things and am excited to check this place out.
Saturday – Temple of the Kitty in Hoboken
Saturday, May 18th
Temple of the Kitty (with Christina Alessi and Jonathan Andrew)
Northern Soul
557 First Street
Hoboken, NJ 07030
8pm
Christina, Jonathan, and I will perform together at Northern Soul for the third time this year. What began as a one-time songwriter’s collaborative has turned into a semi-regular gig.
Here’s the basic gist. The three of us perform each other’s songs as a trio. We throw in a few covers, too. And for the first time, we’ve decided to give this little project a name. So – at least for this show – we will be called Temple of the Kitty. Stop by on Saturday to find out why.
Hope to see you there!

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.
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/

The Spondylitis Association Of America (SAA) is a non-profit organization that was the first and remains the largest resource for people affected by spondylitis.

For more than 25 years’ SAA has dedicated all of its resources to help improve the lives of people coping with spondylitis.
“This is a very personal benefit for me as my wife, Naomi, suffers from ankylosing spondylitis (AS).”, says Lazlo, “I have seen the debilitating effects of this disease and the chronic pain and discomfort it causes. This benefit is the least I can do to help my wife, and over a million others who suffer from AS.”
The benefit runs from 12noon Friday October 19th until Sunday night October 21st. It will be broadcast on http://www.BlowupRadio.com
