how long

Wow. I haven't written anything on the old blog in a while. Never too late, i guess......

Well, i'm finally home after a run of shows with Katie Herzig in the Northeast. It was our first run with this arrangement, and turned out to be copious amounts of fun. Without the band, we were pulling double / triple duty with Katie on acoustic, porchboard, vox and me on electic, accordion, ukelele and vox....most definately maxing out our alloted carry ons and checked baggage on the plane. By the second show we really started getting into the groove of this new set up and i'll have to say, i'm kind of digging it.

DAY 1 - NYC

We flew into New York on Wednesday, staying with Katie's sister Jenny and her roomate Kristen (who both happened to be opera singers). For some reason, around midnight, we decided to utilize their talents in one of the songs (much to the shigrin of their neighbors, i'm sure). Here's what happened....



..yeah. pretty amazing. still makes me giggle.

Went to a cute little restaraunt in Inwood called "Guadalupe" (Mexican gourmet) with Katie, Jenny and Paul. Had some delicious Quesadilla de Seta y Queso which did not dissapoint

Woke up early the next morning and drove to do a radio interview / performance and WFUV. Everyone there was exceedingly kind and made the early morning an enjoyable one. The host was
Claudia Marshall and was a hoot. We had a great time and the sound engineer, Joe, ended up coming to the show with a friend later that night...which is always super fun.






The show Thursday night was at The Living Room and we had a great crowd and met some really awesome people. Being our first go at it, we were a little shakey musically, but the crowd was so warm and receptive, it made us feel ok about the bumps along the way.
