Toll Collectors at Rockwood Music Hall Recap

On Sunday, November 15th, I had a blast playing with Christina Alessi & the Toll Collectors at Rockwood Music Hall, Stage 1. Check out some photos and the setlist below!

Pianos Recap

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.

Canal Day Recap

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!

Recap of Christina Alessi & the Toll Collectors at Maxwells 06.05.14

It was my first time back since they re-did the place. And I have to say, it did not disappoint.

Had a really fun night with Christina, Mari, Jonathan, Ty, and Sean-David. Here are some pics!

Espresso Joe’s Guitar Pull

I finished up the week with a unique show on Saturday, March 21st – A Guitar Pull sponsored by blowupradio.com. I had a fantastic time getting to meet and share the stage with David Bronson and Mike Regrets.

We took turns playing songs, talking about writing, recording, and everything in between. I always enjoy playing at Espresso Joe’s. Not only because they hosted my photography for a month back in November, but because the audience is top notch. They sit, listen, and pay attention to the show for the entire duration. It’s such a joy to see places like this still exist and I’m always so happy to play there.

Performing at Espresso Joe’s. 3/21/15.

Recap – Pianos 2/25/15

Thanks to everyone who joined me at Pianos Upstairs Lounge this past Wednesday night! It was such a thrill to play this show. I even debuted a new song.

Thanks to MJ for taking this awesome photo.

And here was the setlist.

Pianos Recap

Wednesday, August 27th I played a solo acoustic show at Pianos Upstairs Lounge. It’s a nice little spot in the lower east side of Manhattan.

Here’s a photo of me playing.

And here was the setlist. It started on the back of an envelope and finished up on a piece of notebook paper. I wound up calling an audible and subbed in a cover of Melt with You in place of one of my slower tunes, Sunday Morning.

Canal Day Recap

Two Saturdays ago, we celebrated the Morris Canal with food and music. We saw some familiar faces and made some new friends. Thank you to all who attended.

Here was double-breasted’s setlist, though we did make some edits along the way.

And here was my view from behind the drum kit.

Thanks again to the Canal Day organizers – especially John Manna – for having us back. You’re doing great things for the community and it’s been fun to see it grow each year!

Recap of Solo Acoustic Show in Hoboken

This past Saturday, I had a great time at Northern Soul in Hoboken, NJ playing a solo acoustic show. I was able to work two new songs into the setlist and they turned out pretty well.

Here’s a photo of me playing on stage.

And here’s the setlist.

My next solo acoustic show is next Wednesday night at Pianos Upstairs Lounge. Lower East Side, NYC. See the performances page for more details.

Recap of Cape May Performance

I had a great time with double-breasted playing at the Chalfonte hotel in beautiful, historic Cape May, NJ.

The Chalfonte is always great about putting up signs and advertising the performance.

We had a great turnout and an attentive audience.

Here was the view from behind the drums (pre-show).

Here was the setlist.

And here we are after the show in the King Edward Bar!
