95 Columbia Fundraisers

Many friends and fellow musicians lived in Columbia House, which suffered a devastating fire last week. There are two benefits coming up which I’ll be performing in – the one above is on the 9th at Precinct in Union Square, and I’ll be getting all horn-y with Johnny Blazes and the Pretty Boys.

The week after on Thursday (the 13th of September) I’ll be playing with Brendan himself at the Middle East Downstairs. Please come out to both shows if you can, they promise to be wonderful!

I had the pleasure & honor of playing on a couple of tracks of Brendan Burns’ first album, TimeStamp. We recorded it live in the main room of the Somerville Theatre, which was special in and of itself. Brendan describes it as a “musical photograph” of everyone involved, which is a perfect description.

It’s a fantastic album, please go listen and share it far and wide!
