berlin

howdy folks.  some exciting news!  my family has decided to head over to berlin this fall for 3 months.  i’m going to play shows and write, and justin and anders and saoirse will learn german and hang out.  so this will mean some european and hopefully also uk shows.  i can finally make up for last years cancellations.

other news;  the lucklucky video should be up this week. those fussy filmmakers are doing some last minute changes, which is crazy because it already looks great.  we’ll get it up here soon for you.  the craiglist cantata was so well received that we’re going to be putting it up again at various festivals this summer.  what else?  mmmm, maybe a new record is in the works…..

do you want what i have got?

rehearsals for our little musical are going well. i had an actual chorus line kind of moment when we first sang in a line for our director and sm and producer. fun! and silly. did i tell you who is singing?  ford pier, patsy klein, sam newton, barry mirochnick.  brave souls.  for those new to this blog, the musical (titled as this post is titled) is based on craigslistings. book by bill richardson, music by me. here is a sneak preview, me singing into the minidisc while my son cries in the other room. attended by his father, of course.

and while we’re on the subject, joe wrote in recently and alerted me to the music of gabriel kahane in nyc. who has a song cycle called Craislistlieder. and many other fine musics besides. so there you go, we’re all thinking the same thoughts eventually.
