I had a couple of great shows recently. The July 29 River & Blues concert at Battery Park City was beautiful and fun. There are a couple photos on the gallery page. It was great to see some people down there that I had not seen in a while.
Special thanks to Oak Street for representing the way you did.
The August 8th concert w/ Anders Osborn in Schenectady was also a blast. I made a boot board out of a big slab of cedar that I cut out of a log w/ a chain saw that morning. I think I will put that up in the gallery as well.
Anders and band sounded great and were fun to hang with. He is a great player and his stuff has a really nice contemplative feeling.
Thanks to Mona for inviting me to be part of it.
On the studio front, work continues with American Ambulance. We had Will Rigby up for a 4 days to play on 6 songs. He currently plays drums with Steve Earl and the Dukes and was a founder of The db's in the 80's. It was great to have him at Excello and the tracks he played on will really complement the other 6 or 7 seven tracks already laid down.
Anti-Balis is coming back at the end of August to finish what they started at Excello.
Coming up.
Sept. Hugh Pool Band going to Main.
