PERFORMING WITH TODD ADELMAN & THE LOVE HANDLES IN NEW YORK
Though my absence would indicate otherwise, Northeast, I have missed you! I'll be returning to New York to perform as part of Todd Adelman's backing band, The Love Handles, for the national release of his CD next month. I could not be more honored to be part of this project, as a singer and as a performer. Details coming soon but you can exect this to be a new country fusion of damn fine writing and heartbreaking twang.

TODD ADELMAN & THE LOVE HANDLES CD RELEASE SHOW IN BOULDER: MARCH 12, 2008 AT THE B SIDE LOUNGE!
Just prior to Christmas, while the world was locked in white (and the temperature was dipping below freezing up here in the hills), I had the distinct pleasure of logging some hours up at Completely Lost studio in Nederland. The Love Handles have made a record, folks, and yours truly was honored to be invited to participate. I sang hard enough to warm my toes and I am pround to say the record is a beauty.
Produced by Lee Alexander (Norah Jones, Amos Lee), Joshua Kessler (Bushwick Studio) and Diego Voglino (Marshall Crenshaw, Natalie Merchant), the band is in full bloom with the addition of Alexander on bass and Voglino on drums. It features most of the regular line up with a sprinkling of special guests such as the incomparable Danny Shafer and Reed Foehl.
As I wrote last summer, Todd writes like the bastard child of Tom Waits and Gram Parsons with a little Stephen Stills thrown in for good measure. His band, The Love Handles, features the incomparable Greg Shochet on guitar and mandolin, and the all too fine Bret Billings on pedal steel (both borrowed from Halden Wofford's Hi- Beams). Come help us celebrate the eponymous debut. I'll be there with the boys, singing my heart out. Details can be found HERE!

Writing More, Touring Less
Many of you have noticed and even written to me about the fact that I am touring less these days. This is true. I've settled in a bit up at 8500 feet and while I may not be performing out and about quite as much, I am writing more than ever and hope to have something you can actually read in your hands by the end of 2009 (there's a goal for you). I think I have previously stated my distaste for the Misery Memoir, which has been a fad as of late (thanks, er, James Frey). Hopefully this will be a little less rehab and a little more wretched heart. We'll see. In the meantime, that on-line journal of mine has been picking up steam, what with the election coming up and my creative wheels turning at a fever clip. I have finally opened it up to comments, but please know up front, I control the delete button. That's just how it is. Onward with the grand experiment! |

PERFORMING IN NEW YORK
WITH TODD ADELMAN & THE LOVE HANDLES!
|
|
It has been a freakishly long time since I have performed in New York City. Could it be possible that the last gig was at Joe's Pub with Voices on The Verge back in 2002?!? I'm thrilled to return to my once upon a time native state as part of Todd Adelman's band, The Love Handles. We've got two gigs in the Big Apple the weekend of October 16th and both look to be a blast. The Living Room (in its debut incarnation) was one of the first venues to support Vocies on the Verge, giving us the chance to stretch our stuff outside of Boston/Northampton (particularly the night we riffed on the spot acapella about hair stylists and police officers). The Lakeside Lounge is a new room for me, but it promises to be a night not only of Todd's originals but some off the beaten track covers as well.
Todd is one of my very favorite singer-songwriters and having the chance to perform and record with him has been an immenase pleasure. Since leaving Colorao in June, I haven't had the chance to be a Love Handle. I have missed the guys. It's a little different than the solo thing, but I have a feeling you're going to like it.
Now, if only I could get Yankees tickets...
xoxo
