I had a really great evening performing at Pianos Upstairs Lounge on Thursday, August 27th.
Ardith joined me on cello for an evening filled with original music, cover songs, and picklebacks. We even had a chance to extend the setlist with a few extra songs! Can’t wait to do it again sometime soon.
Join me for a solo acoustic gig at Pianos Upstairs Lounge. This one is especially exciting… not just because it’s a FREE Show, but also because Ardith Collins will be joining me on cello. We’ll be doing something similar to what we did at Canal Day last weekend.
It will be awesome. Don’t miss it.

Kristy couldn’t be there, so Ardith and I represented 2/3 double-breasted (single-breasted?) at Canal Day this past Saturday. I stepped out from behind the drum kit to play guitar. Our setlist was a fun one… Josh songs, double-breasted songs, and cover songs that spanned a wide range of folk tunes made popular by Pete Seeger to Britney Spears to 80s classics. It was a great turnout and a great time.
Here we are playing under the gazebo.
Here is Ardith making some setlist notes.
And here is the setlist.
Ardith will be joining me for another show at Pianos Upstairs Lounge in NYC on Thursday, August 27th. 7pm. Don’t miss it!
This is always such a great show, year after year.
Here is the stage all set and ready to go.

Here’s the setlist.
Christina Alessi and the Toll Collectors at Finnegan’s in Hoboken, NJ. July 11, 2015.
Three sets of pure fun. Covers, originals, and a great crowd. Who knew the Brandi Carlile tune would be the most popular?
Leading up to this show, we had an epic, A/C-less rehearsal. Which resulted in the following elevator photo op. The band that sweats together, takes elevator selfies together.
Enough said.
The Toll Collectors are back at it again! This time we’ve got your entire Saturday night covered. We’re playing three sets! Join us for a collection of covers and originals… It’s basically every song we know how to play. This is going to be a really fun show. Be sure not to miss it.

I’m excited to be joining fellow acoustic musicians David Bronson and Mike Regrets for a Guitar Pull.
What’s a guitar pull, you ask? Sponsored by blowupradio.com, the evening will feel more like sitting around a campfire and listening to old friends sharing songs. Usually the songs are accompanied by stories, or conversations about the creative process. It’s a collaborative show format that I know you’ll enjoy watching.
Really excited for this one. Mark your calendars.

I’m really looking forward to playing with Christina Alessi and the Toll Collectors again. We played a show back in December at Tierney’s in Montclair, NJ and had a ton of fun. Can’t wait to play another one!
