For those of you that are up in Ithaca, this Sunday, July 19th, I will be driving my trusty little Honda up to you for a very special show at Felicia's Atomic Lounge (www.AtomicLoungeIthaca.com)
The last time I was up in Ithaca it was January. I remember the show clearly, because the next day, I woke up in a Super 8 Motel with a fever of 103. It was a hot show. Or the flu.

As a testament to how much I don't use myspace anymore, I just approved two comments that were about 2 weeks old. I even get myspace updates on my Crackberry, but I usually just ignore them. How imp...

The third installment of "First Friday's at Kenny's" is nigh. Two more hours of grit, mud and champagne.
Laura Gould (http://www.myspace.com/lauragouldsmusic) begins the night at 8pm:
With the addictive hooks and the depth of a folk singer, Laura sings her beautifully crafted songs directly, simply, and with untainted s...incerity. Her multi-faceted songs revolve around story lines we all can relate to, with melodies that are hard to forget. Check her out on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/lauragouldsmusic). Give her song "Too Good" a listen, for starters.
And then...
I'll follow Laura at 9pm with the full band (including a very good-looking, extremely well-arranged, horn section) sugar and probably spice, and more songs off the forthcoming EP. Excitement abounds!Read More

Hi Everybody!I'm shuttering up the Brooklyn house (only for a bit) and heading upstate this wintry weekend. Chris Kocher from the Press and Sun-Bulletin was nice enough to take the time to talk to me...

Happy Holidays! I hope this finds everyone safe and well and not too stressed out by the merry, bustling madness of the holiday season. I have some spectacular shows and a bunch of news to catch you...

Hello nice people,
The second installment of First Friday's at Kenny's comes at us this Friday (Feb. 6th), and it starts off at 8pm with the heart-pumping, electro-grit-pop of Katy Gunn. You can check her out here:
www.myspace.com/KatyVsEvil
Then at 9pm, the band and I will play some of the new songs off the almost-finis...hed, yet-to-be-named, upcoming EP. The songs have been cut and polished, and are starting to shine like brilliant, little, sonic diamonds. Only they are worth much, much more. Like, maybe $100 more. I'm not sure, I haven't really priced it out yet.
So, to recap:
Katy Gunn (www.myspace.com/KatyVsEvil) at 8pm
Angela Ortiz (www.AngelaOrtiz.com) at 9pm
Last month's installment was packed, so be sure to get there early and snag a seat.
See you soon!

I just sent out an event invitation that said "The Empire Weekend Tour in ITHACA!' with all the ROCHESTER show information in it. So much for organized e-promo. Eek. Here's a clarification: I'll be playing in Binghamton on 1/16, Rochester on 1/17 and Ithaca on 1/18...

I do recall saying "I try not to beat people up at my shows." I'm not sure how that will be reported.Read More

**The pioneer voyage for "First Fridays @ Kenny's"!**
This is the very first of a series of monthly shows we'll be playing on the first Friday of each month (hence the clever title) at Kenny's Castaway's.
Special, wildly-talented guest openers that I promise you, will make you extremely grateful for all five of your sens...es (particularly touch and smell) will entertain us all at 8pm each month. Then a set from yours truly at 9pm.
January will feature Kris Kelly (www.kriskellymusic.com) at 8pm!
We are aiming to make each show as unique and mind-blowing as possible, so mark your calendars, invite your friends, turn off the Wii, and head down to Kenny's for the first First Friday!
Happy New Year!Read More
