Less than 12 hours until I leave for NACA…Hopefully this will be a great and profitable experience like I’m hoping it will be.
I was thinking again about Radiohead and their new album, In Rainbows. Their record deal expired and instead of finding another record label, they decided to release it on their website as a [...]

This Thursday I will be attending the NACA conference in beautiful Hartford, Connecticut. Danger Room Productions will be part of the Student Activities Marketplace and I’ll be pimping myself for three straight days trying to get people who are only slightly younger than me to play at their schools.
Sounds fun? Well, I have to do [...]

I wonder if today was my last outdoor session at Faneuil Hall for the year. I played for about 3 hours and boy was it cold. The first hour (from 1-2) was great. I sold tons of CDs and made plenty of tips. After that it slowed down considerably. If you had asked me a [...]

We had a full band gig yesterday at NU’s alumni Fan Fest event. I’m and alumni for Northeastern and every once and a while I’ll get called in to do an event and they seem to like the work we do, which is great. We have to play a blend of covers and originals, which [...]

Last night had all the ingredients to be a disaster. I was playing at a college I had never played before out in Springfield, MA (just shy of two horus away). I had sent flyers but playing in a pub at a college during a weekday is always a spotty occassion. The worst thing working [...]

Yikes, I’m all ready falling out of the groove with this blog business, which could be a good thing because I’ve been extremely busy. I think I’m going to be brief too because I’m in super songwriting mode. We’re entering the studio in November and I am trying to write much more new material. I [...]

What a fortunate year this has been for me. Last night, I played at the Paradise Rock Club for the third time this year and opened up for one of my favorite bands/performers: Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers. I had been keeping in touch with Stephen, Boots, and their manager for the last couple years [...]

That picture above is me with two of my hosts from Wednesday night, Alisha (left) and Chelsea (right).
As of 2pm on Wednesday, I was DREADING my trip to Farmington, Maine to play at the University of Maine. I had played there once before, to kind of a mixed reception (from the four people that were [...]

I had bad Mexican for dinner tonight. Well, that’s not true, it wasnt bad Mexican, it was delicious Mexican but it made me feel bad. I guess you can’t really call it ‘mexican’ either, it was Qdoba, which is only slightly more Mexican, hardly what I would call ‘autentica,’ and their talking chihuaha mascot doesn’t [...]

So the last few days I have posted an ad on Craig’s List for a lead guitarist. I’ve gotten four responses and am setting up auditions this week. Ideally Austin, who lives downstairs, would be a good fit because, well…he lives downstairs. He’s playing with Cahill and he lives with my bassist Andy and is [...]
