Had to get a lot of drum sticks because I have a lot of gigs coming up. Quick rundown…
**Headed to Chicagoland this Sunday to play Space in Evanston with Wesley Stace and the English UK. Our friends Kelly Hogan, Nora O’Connor, and Dag Juhlin will join us for the “Late Style” show. Spoiler: I will be in a suit. And I’ll be playing two bossa novas — two more than I’d ever played in my life previous to last September when we began Late Stylin’.
**Strand of Oaks US tour starts next Saturday, May 7, in Indianapolis, wraps June 29 in Nashville. The Noble & Cooleys (aka “The Green Machine”) will make their maiden voyage around the lower 48. Tim, Finnerty, Casey back driving the train on bass, and me. We’re gonna drink a lot of coffee, rip some sweet jams, ask TM Bobby what the wi-fi password is, and listen to a lot of Eddie Trunk. I’m so psyched.
**In between legs of the Oaks tour Wesley Stace’s Cabinet of Wonders returns to City Winery in NYC on May 28 (lineup TBA) and I’ll be trying to re-learn all those Bonham licks I haven’t played in forever for Celebration Day: A Philly Tribute to Led Zeppelin, June 3 at Ardmore Music Hall. All lady singers. Sick.
