It was a joy to play at the TimesCenter for Prospect Theater Company's 2nd annual Good To Good Songwriter's Showcase. A beautiful space for a beautiful night!

Songwriter's Orchestra

I am participating in two great concerts Sunday and Monday with the Songwriter's Orchestra in collaboration with Herstory Writers Workshop. Chains Don't Rattle Themselves - Concert for Youth Justice is "an emotionally-charged concert that shares gripping stories about youth incarceration -- first as personal narratives presented by people directly affected by the issue, and then as raw, potent original songs adapted from the stories themselves. Chains Don’t Rattle Themselves seeks to break through barriers of judgment and mobilize audiences to take direct action supporting the Raise The Age NY campaign for youth criminal justice reform in New York State."

Grab tickets for the show in Long Island or Manhattan. Hope to see you there! 

That's A Wrap: The Grinch!

I played my last show of the tour on New Year's Eve and made it from DC to my apartment in Brooklyn by 10:50 pm, according to the clock in the welcoming display my girlfriend left for me upon my arrival. What a sweetie! She (and a bunch of my awesome family) came to the show in DC. She even sat in the pit one night and we took a picture together on the stage following the show. Dawwwwwwww

On the last day, I finally got a picture with the two cuties who play Cindy Lou Who and one of the two Annie Whos. These leading ladies rock! We're pictured with Key 2/Associate Music Director Jordan Jones-Reese. 

And for good measure, how about one last shot of (most of my) setup, this time from onstage. This view really highlights the confetti that rains upon us at the end of every show.
