Looking forward to two sets this Saturday, January 18 at Bar Bayeux with Darius Jones and Eric McPherson as we prepare to go into the studio next week to record our first album together, due in the fall on Intakt Records. Join us at 8pm…
Can’t wait to play with the original Jen Chapin Band from back in the Linger days…and to play all those great songs, again. Join us at The Bitter End on Saturday 1/4 at 7pm. Tickets are going fast and are available here.
I’ve just released the solo bass arrangement of the Rodgers & Hart classic “It Never Entered My Mind” that is featured on the Rocket Love solo album. It’s available as PDF now at the Store. Thank you, and enjoy…
