/The last rehearsal for our #lastshowever is tonight. Fitting that the #lastshowever is in Durham which has sort of become a home away from home for PitchBlak.

One of my favorite parts of being a musician is that I get to travel all over the country as part of my job. I had a lovely weekend in Western Mass and Burlington. BTV is one of my favorite places in the world and every time I get up there it's like hitting the reset button. Trying to keep the zen mentality I acquired there as I integrate back to NYC life!

Can't really say much about this, but Hodgman is one of the most genuine gentlemen I've ever met. Also, I love the Bell House!

On Monday, PitchBlak had our first rehearsal for our upcoming Ecstatic Music Festival concert with Pharoahe Monch. In additional to our usual instrumentation, we are performing with a string quartet and vocalist. This is a concert not to be missed! Grab tickets here. I swear I'm looking at the metronome app and not Twitter in this picture.
Hell of a time working on the November PitchBlak Playlist with Mean Joe Scheme. To be honest, I don't think he has a mean bone in him! He's one of the hardest working artists we've ever collaborated with and his dedication to his craft is an inspiration.
