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!
PitchBlak traveled to two of my favorite towns this weekend - Portsmouth, NH and Burlington, VT. A bunch of us had t-shirts made in Portsmouth. I designed a Phish "lot shirt" based on a song from their Chilling, Thrilling Sounds from the Haunted House set this past Halloween. Here I am at Nectar's (where Phish got its start) with the shirt and a picture of the band from one of their shows at Randall's Island last summer (yes, I was there. So was 3/5 of PitchBlak!).
At Nectar's we opened for Tauk, an incredible band with one nasty drummer! Their sound engineer, Devin, took this picture of me during our set. Devin is actually roommates in Cleveland with my friend Kirk who I went to Maryland with! Small World.
