Busy busy and blogless. The kids are home, and I have a lot of people to thank and things to do and so forth, but it's rough and also my email situation is kind of fucked right now. So quickly:

Next week I am stepping on to an actual stage to actually sing. One song in David Garland's set. If you can go, do so. The man is brilliant and his music is ambrosia. And it's one of the few times I'll actually be out of the house in the foreseeable future. So come down and buy me a cocktail. I will paste his own gig announcement copy below. Meanwhile, I plan to get more disciplined on blogging, if only for the practice. See you again soon. Now... read this and attend:

Concert in NYC November 21st

I'll be singing new songs from my recording "On the Other Side of the Window" with The Four Bags (Mike McGinnis, clarinet, saxophone; Tom Aldrich, accordion; Sean Moran, electric guitar; Brian Drye, trombone) and violinist/vocalist Meredith Yayanos, with Sport Murphy, guest vocalist.
The concert is presented by Roulette ( http://www.roulette.org ) and will take place Friday, November 21st, at Location One, 20-26 Greene Street (just above Canal St.). Performance begins at 8:30pm. Admission: $12, Roulette members free. Reservation/info call: 212-219-8242 or e-mail info@roulette.org
Earlier this year I sang with The Four Bags in Symphony Spaces' "Wall-to-Wall Joni Mitchell," and the "Loser's Lounge" tribute to the group XTC. We so enjoyed working together that we're continuing the collaboration. The Bags are a young, genre-defying, talented band, and with Meredith Yayanos adding her violin and more, it's like working with a mini-orchestra. My friend Sport Murphy, a tremendous songwriter and singer, will join us for a song we collaborated on.

So what kind of music is it? If there's such a category as Downtown Indie Singer/Songwriter, maybe it's that. Who's it sound like? I admire Robert Wyatt, Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, Wilco, Kevin Ayres, and Sigur Ros, among others, but don't sound like them. They are originals, and they inspire me to be original. It's been a while since I last sang my songs in New York, and I'm very excited about debuting this group and these songs. Please come!
