Calendar Updates

A couple updates since my last post, with a newly abridged list of events below.  Please note that the December 2 show w/Inzinzac in Philly has been cancelled (or postponed, more like it) - so keep an eye out for another show perhaps in early 2013.  I've added a performance with bassist Sean Ali at a new music series in Brooklyn, and we'll be playing under the moniker Trismegistus at Lark Cafe on Church Ave. on December 6.  And it will now be HAG performing at Douglass Street on December 1, with Pretty Monsters and Twins of El Dorado - and word on the street is tubist Dan Peck will make the trio a quartet.

Finally, on 11/30, Twins of El Dorado will appear on WGXC Community Radio in Hudson prior to our show, between 4:00 and 6:00.  Tune in!  

11/29 @ 7:30pm, Hartford, CT: Twins of El Dorado at the Hartford Phase Shift.

11/30 @ 8:00pm, Hudson, NY: Twins of El Dorado at The Spotty Dog, w/Silent Isle.  Performance/interview on WGXC Community Radio between 4:00pm and 6:00pm.

Rest o' 2012 Calendar, incl. Twins Tour

Long overdue, here is a listing of my performance dates for the end of 2012, which includes an album release tour by Twins of El Dorado, my art song duo with Kristin Slipp.  We will release our debut, Portend the End, on December 1st on Brooklyn's Prom Night Records.  If you are unfamiliar with our work - and as we don't have a website for the ensemble (yet) - do check out this live recording on my SoundCloud page.

News News News

Some pretty exciting happenings abound recently. First off, I'm pretty happy for my friends in Many Arms - they are set to release their most recent recording, named Beyond Territories, on Tzadik! These guys are a pretty serious unit - if you haven't seen or heard them, just take a look-see and listen.

Also, Wishgift, a kick-ass prog-punk group from Chicago, will be playing on Wednesday at Death by Audio in Brooklyn. I'm excited. You should be too. Details here.

Lastly, but not least-ly, there's a show I'm pretty psyched to be a part of this week - on Thursday night, trumpeter and composer Brad Henkel will present a new piece for sextet at the Launch Pad in Brooklyn. Please check out Brad's calendar for more details.
