Black Celebration @ The High Dive

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Well it's an 80's theme of late as I have been asked to fill in on vocals for an 80's tribute night at the High Dive with Black Celebration, the local Depeche Mode tribute band. I am super psyched as fellow Still Falling member Dan Harper is in the group, as well as me being a huge DM fan from way back. I don't necessarily look much like Dave Gahan but I know those songs like the back of my hand so come out and have a fun nostalgic night in Fremont!

80's Prom Benefit at the Rendevous

Sun, 23 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

I'll be spinning the 80's hits at this benefit for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this Saturday night. My friends Concours d'Elegance will be performing live as well. It should be a great night in the basement 'grotto' of the Rendevous on 2nd Ave. So break out your 80's duds and come out and dance for a great cause! See you there. Saturday, May 29th at 9 PM. Rendezvous Grotto 2322 2nd Avenue.

Speakeasy Series goes out with a bang!

Lushy capped off their month long residency at the Triple Door with our best night ever and a most "Special" guest. Lynval Golding joined the band for a few rousing numbers as he was in town between touring.

The crowd was especially raucous and the band turned up the heat for our final appearance. Thanks to everyone who made it out for one of our Tuesday night extravanganzas. We hope to see you again very soon.

Composition Lab Concert a Success.

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Last night I took part as a composer in a Chamber Music concert performed by the Odeon String Quartet with the addition of guitar and flute. There were 11 composers pieces performed and mine had the honor of being first on the program. The musicians performed my piece very well and I was thrilled. It was also a pleasure to hear the other composers pieces and the Chapel at the Good Shepherd Center is an amazing sounding room!

The concert was recorded so look for the audio of my piece to be posted soon.

Thanks again to Tim Huling, the instructor who organized this, for a great experience!

We had a wonderful time at Conor Byrne last night. Thanks to Laguna for a great opening set! Also thanks to everyone that came out and supported us, especially Aaron, who got everyone dancing and moved tables out of the way! I think this was our best show yet. We're looking forward to the Neumo's show on the 10th. I hope you can join us!
