Poor Christine!

Monday, August 30th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Everybody knows how rotten a summer cold can be, and it looks like nobody knows it better right now than Christine.

This’ll be the third week we haven’t played together: 2 weeks ago, Christine played solo while I taught a class. Last week I played solo while Christine got some well-deserved nature time. We’re going to start getting a bit squirrelly after this!

I’ll be playing tonight with one of my oldest and best friends, Chris Banks. Hopefully, as a bonus, Julia Hambleton will be able to get out from behind the bar and play some clarinet for the second set. Christine will stay home and let Ali take care of her.

It’ll still be awesome, just different awesome.

Get better Christine!

Well, of course they are. And I’m lucky enough to have them play with me at the Tranzac this Monday while Christine’s away.

Then next week Chris, Roger Travassos and Bryden Baird join us for a whole night of songs by Hall and Oates!

Two awesome years

This Monday marks our second anniversary of playing Mondays at the Tranzac. To celebrate, we’ve planned a special concert: the wonderful clarinetist Julia Hambleton is going to join us, and we’re going to play the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album. We’re very excited. Here’s the poster, made by the brilliant Ali Eisner (with a bit of help from Capitol Records):

So: this Monday, Jan 18 at the Tranzac. 7pm, pwyc. See you there!
