November 25, 2011

2 great shows coming up!

First, on December 21st we’ll be celebrating The Band’s 1968 debut album “Music From Big Pink” by teaming up with Patrick Coman and the Lo-Fi Angels, Sam Otis Hill and Co., and others.  The extra cool part is that we will be PLAYING THE ALBUM FROM COVER TO COVER!  This is a once and a lifetime show and I’m thrilled to pay homage to one of my greatest influences.

Then, we’ll keep the party going the next night, across the river at one of our favorite clubs, Toad!  This show is FREE and we’ll be joined by some of our favorite special guests (TBA)

  • A month ago the audience at @as220providence selected "Tattoo Taboo" as the topic for tonight's @risongwritersassociation’s Songwriters in the Round. How it works is that a couple of us songwriters have a month to write a song using the audience's topic as loose inspiration, then we need to show up with said song ready to go. After procrastinating all month and wandering around the house cursing at this task for a couple of days, I've finally decided to give in and embrace the whole damned thing. Plus, it’s kind of like a #LinePerDay on steroids. In the nature of the challenge, I'm putting the lyrics to the song below in hopes that it finalizes the tune (for the time being) and gets me to stop thinking about it until the show starts at 7. Want to hear it in action? Come on down! LONG LETTER HOME Goddamn this broken skyline and the sun that trickles in Washing another faded byline etched into your skin If the truth of you sang true to me, would you tell me where you’ve been? I’ll anchor every whisper like ink drips from a pen You’re a long letter home All ink and battered bones You’re the cadence of Virginia All wind, you wild roam A promise to the darkness kept in tow You were rifling through your pages, all signed someone else’s name Like the plaster of your walls, all warped and peeling paint For every layer falling, the cracks hold up just the same A thousand stippled checkmates ringing out in the devil’s game. You’re a long letter home All ink and battered bones You’re the cadence of Virginia All wind, you wild roam A promise to the darkness kept in tow Quit burning black and white and counting every debt you owe Shake the dust of every memory let all your colors show You’re a long letter home All ink and battered bones You’re the cadence of Virginia All wind, you wild roam A promise to the darkness kept in tow You’re the findings in the fire No one will ever know A survivor in the rubble kept for show • PS - I’ll be @starlitegallery in Southbridge, MA with @zackslikmusic and @graciedaymusic tomorrow night! Show starts at 8pm! • 📸: @carlyraephoto
  • Couldn’t be more excited for tonight’s @giveandcompany pop-up @littleoutdoorgiants in Warren, RI! I’ll be teaming up with @hauntthehouse, @kate.mick, and @pickinandhollerin to raise some money for @savethebayri! Word is that @jarrodrorymccabe will be slinging his homemade clam chowder and there will be a bucket of @gansettbeer to drink. See you there! • #RhodeIsland #WarrenRI #NarragansettBay #HiNeighbor #RI
  • Thank you all so much! We’ve hit 92% of our goal with a day left! If you haven’t had a chance to pledge yet, now is the time! Head on over to the link in my bio to learn how! 📸: @carlyraephoto
