I’ll be playing at Yoshi’s in SF this Sunday night, 8pm – 11pm. That’s packed with all kinds of awesomeness, and it’d be great to see some friendly faces there.

The next night will be the final open mic at Blake’s. I’ve been going to this open mic for over 5 years, and have been doing the sound / co-hosting for about 3 years. The time has finally come to lay the old beast to rest. We’re throwing a big party that night, trying to get all the old regulars from the open mic’s history to come back and give it a proper send off. Although it’ll be sad to see it come to a close, it’ll be really good in allowing me to finally refocus my efforts a bit.

…“All good things must come to an end.”

Was quoted in Performer Magazine along with Joe Hickey in a spot about our open mic. Woot!

Well, not that I’m dancing, but I’ll still be on stage. I’m collaborating with Robert Dekkers and his company “Post:Ballet” on a world premiere at Fort Mason’s Cowell Theater. I’ll be performing original music live both nights.

Flux is going up on Pandora before too long. Exceptionally cool. I’ll post again when it’s available for streaming and thumbs-upping. In the meantime, if you’re curious what I listen to on Pandora, you can check it out at http://www.pandora.com/people/cloudforger

My dental hygienist told me that I have the biggest tonsils she’s ever seen in her life, and she’s been dentally hygiening for longer than I’ve been alive. Gross.

I’ll be playing at Yoshi’s Lounge in SF on Sunday, May 30, 8pm. Om nom nom!

Someone told me the other night that he wants to die to my music. I think that’s pretty awesome, but might only be fun the first time…

So you can get it a bunch of different places:
Amazon:

Amazon MP3:

iTunes:

CD Baby:

Thanks to everyone who came out to my Du Nord show — everyone who bought a copy of Flux, or brought a friend, or stuck around and hung out after my set! I had an AMAZING time, the set went really well, and you all made it so much fun.

And here’s a video of the band and I playing Splinter, one of the new songs on the album:
(you can even watch it in full 720p-HD video, too!)

Too bad the blog comes after the fact, but KALX played a couple of my songs today – Accident, & To Say Yes to One Instant is to Say Yes to All of Existence.

In other news, also vote for KALX at http://radiowoodie.ratemyprofessors.com/ because they’re awesome and play people like me. =) Boom.

So, my new CD “Flux” is finally ready! My band and I will be performing at the wonderful Cafe Du Nord on October 9th w/ Essence, Pills & Jackets, and Forget About Boston!

I’m really looking forward to the show. I know my set will rock, I’m playing with some great bands (Pills & Jackets in particular), and Cafe Du Nord is pretty much the coolest place in the bay. Woot!
