It’s also the release of Bern & the Brights new EP. This is going to be a great show. It begins at 8:30pm. The Toll Collectors hit the stage at 10pm sharp.

Back in January, I wrote a post called Writing Is Rewriting. It referenced a new song called “Walking On.”
Today, I’m happy to debut that song for you as a video. The song has a bluesy, porch stomper vibe to it. I hope you enjoy it!
(And if you do enjoy it, please share it. Here’s the link to copy/paste: http://youtu.be/pe2KHE6Yo5E)
Here’s a YouTube playlist of five songs from my performance at Espresso Joe’s last month. Thanks to my parents for capturing these on their iPhones!
The playlist includes:

I recently finished pre-recording a live acoustic set for BlowUpRadio’s Spondylitis Benefit Webathon, which will air in October. I sent it over to Lazlo at BlowUpRadio… Not only did he listen to it right away, but he was kind enough to enthusiastically tweet on my behalf! It’s so refreshing to work with someone who is truly vested in spreading the word about independent, original music. Thank you, Lazlo!
Here are the tweets:
listening to @joshbicknell and trying to figure out why his music isn’t everywhere. So damn good!

You can now stream the Guitar Pull featuring J Orellana, Keith Beck, and yours truly on blowupradio.com. In case you missed it when it aired back in March, you can stream it on demand. After clicking the link, look for the air date March 17th, 2013.
Totally unfiltered and completely laid back, you can listen to the three of us play original songs and talk about everything from the songwriting process to Wonder Woman. Enjoy.
Introducing a new original song, “You Are the One.” Enjoy!

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
