Had such a great time playing for a packed house with double-breasted at the historic Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May, NJ.

Here’s the setlist.

I went with a very minimalist drum set up.

My Twitter Is Blushing

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:

Prepping for the Hey Tiger Reunion Show

Rehearsals have begun for the Hey Tiger Reunion show at Maxwells. We’re getting excited to play one last time before this iconic NJ music venue closes its doors. Also, we’ve just posted our three records – one full-length and two EPs – up on YouTube as playlists so that you can stream them. I’ve embedded them below. Enjoy!

You may remember my composition and experiment – writing, performing, and recording a piece of music entirely on an iPad. The piece is called “You Smiled Because You Knew.”

In the spirit of experimentation, I’ve decided to change the copyright license to be less restrictive by using a Creative Commons license. Instead of the standard “all rights reserved,” you are now free to share it, remix it, make derivative works based on it, and even use it commerically.

So please go ahead, use it as a soundtrack for a slideshow or a video, sample it, remix it, whatever you’d like to do. If it’s helpful to you, write me a quick email to let me know how you were able to use it!

Enjoy!
