Happy February from appropriately-temperatured Somerville, MA. It's been wintery-cold - the way it's supposed to be, yes? And we're still talking about the weather. Such a charming commonality, this conversation. Sometimes just a 'hello, lovely day!' in passing, often a more in depth effort to understand the wobbly graph of New England temperature this Fall and Winter. Reading Faulkner's Light in August this month - a strange and beautiful contrast to the snow. Long and lush sentences dripping with a Southern heat. I read and reread them as I struggle not to slide into sleep. Love, sex, racism, religion in a rural community. Every tree every house haunted by ending up on the losing side of the war.
But let's talk music! How lucky am I to get to play with Duke Levine? To be able to ask someone to recreate a whole arrangement of a song on the electric guitar, to invent a new way to play it, to try and shake me instead of accompany me. Wicked lucky. The silver lining to my left hand's limited range of motion.
Bring your big ears to the Lizard tonight. If you enjoy watching the transformation of Duke Levine from rocking guitar man in the brilliant Dennis Brennan quintet to moody songscape master HALF as much as I do you'll have an incredibly beautiful evening at the Lizard.
Tomorrow night, Thursday i'll be joining a fantastic band and delightful cast of characters in the making of Session Americana's new record: local songwriter/singers covering New England songwriters. There'll be food, video, and music starting at 8pm w/the full Session band and producer Kris Delmhorst, along with special guests Merrie Amsterburg, Peter Linton, John Powhida, Ali McGuirk, Jeffrey Foucault, Dietrich Strausse, Rose Polenzani... The event is sold out but if you'd like to be there you can write to Session and ask to be one of the volunteers for the eve.
Thank you for supporting live music.
cheers,
J
