New York friends… you asked for it. So here it is. I’m playing Sunday on the Lower East Side. It’s a free show and not too late for a Sunday, either. I hope you can make it!
Early Sunday evening, I’ll be playing as part of the band backing Christina Alessi. We’re performing at the Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side, which is arguably one of the best live venues in NYC to discover new live music. Every single time I walk into the place, I see a great band. And there’s no cover charge! Win. Win.

After playing HarvestFest with Hey Tiger earlier in the day, I made my way to Hoboken to perform with Adam McDonough. We celebrated the release of his new record, Coast to Coast. What a fantastic celebration!
Christina Alessi opened the night.
Then we rocked out. Thank you Christina for this photo!
Here’s the setlist.

And believe it or not, there was cake!
Great party and all-around fun gig. Glad to have been a part of it.
PS – Be sure to go to iTunes and download your copy of Adam’s record Coast to Coast today!
On Saturday, September 28th I’ll be playing drums at Adam McDonough’s CD Release party in Hoboken, NJ.
Adam and I played together back in March at a Songwriters Collaborative along with Christina Alessi and Jonathan Andrew. Adam is releasing a new record called “Coast to Coast” that he funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign. I’ve enjoyed learning his new tunes and am excited to play at one of Hoboken’s most unique venues. Come by for complimentary wine and beer as well as free download cards!

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!
