Okay, so the year is already a week old at this point. But what a week it’s been! Last weekend I played bass in Galena, IL, close to the Iowa border. The very next day I was in New Buffalo, MI, playing marching tuba in a disco-themed New Orleans brass band at Four Winds Casino (yes, you read all of that correctly). Last night I played bass in a sold out show at Cole’s Bar with Ricky Liontones, supported by Sunflower Headlights and The Alright Maybes.
By far the most time and labor, though, has gone into taking care of the kitty pictured up top. 5-month-old Trixie is playful, sweet, and full of kitten energy. I’m happy to report that she and Mac are getting along great, although Mac has had to learn to play gently with his new adopted sister of a quarter his size.
Here’s a few shows I’m playing this month:
Saturday 1/14 – w/Ricky Liontones at Leader Bar
Sunday 1/22 – w/Taylor Street Organ Trio at Hey Nonny
Sunday 1/29 – w/Ricky Liontones at Liar’s Club
Stay tuned for more fun show announcements coming soon!
