AllOne NovEmbark Tour '16: 11/17 & 11/18 Adventures in New Haven

NOVEMBARK TOUR: 11/17-11/18 NEW HAVEN To start off the trip yesterday I headed off to New Haven for my debut there at Cafe 9 , a spot I'd been to autumn of last year where I saw my friends  Dope Knife , Miggs Son Daddy , FarOut , EyeNine and Zak G. perform.  The show was with Dodgy Sorts , Average Citizen , Dave DeLucia, Drent & Kleen Kut  !!   The drive in my new car was comfortable and the gas mileage is bonkers, made a couple of phone calls with my fancy new bluetooth situation which was nice, I hit traffic but I watched the sun setting, a time lapse with my GoPro as well.  A few hours later I arrived and met up with Collin (Dodgy Sorts) who is a unique and really intelligent guy.  We talked and played the drums and then headed out to the show at Cafe Nine which was a lot of fun, the crowd was modest and there was a lot of love and talent in the room!  Please go ahead and click the links above to check out the performers' sites!  Our friend Ceschi of Fake Four Inc

Preparing/announcing/thinking about the AllOne "Novembark" mini-tour 2016

Hey AllOne Family! As of tonight I'm GOING BACK ON THE ROAD!! I've decided to name this one after a portmanteau, the NOVEMBARK TOUR ! I've posted the dates and events below from 11/17-12/4 (yes I know..some of this is the DECEMBARK TOUR technically, call it what you like, just come on down to an event!).  I've decided to elaborate on a few little bits of information just in the event that it may help out anyone looking to do the same... How did I Decide the Course? The seed of the tour, aside from my intrinsic need for change and desire to get out on the road and meet people (see "Travel Baggage (Carry On)" ) was a message from my friend Miggs Son Daddy   who happened to be coming up to NY and was looking for a show (we'll be performing together at The Velvet Lounge Open Mic Tuesday the 22nd as features!) and it got me thinking about where else I could travel and so I started booking feverishly! For the first time, I've opted to drive and so wit

The Beauty in Reconnecting and the Ugly of "Awkwardness"

Hey AllOne family! It has been a little while hasn't it? This prompts me to open this piece with a sort of meta topic. In the interest of hoping to use this page and medium more frequently (and admittedly often failing) I find I'm trying to open my creative filter up to accepting more ideas or experiences as things worth publicly writing about. Sometimes, concepts or philosophies that are second nature to us bear elaborating on and sharing to others. Oddly I find that this is hard for me to recognize because I'm always fearing coming off as pretentious or overtly obvious by stating what feels important to me, assuming that it's also second nature or obvious to others, especially knowing that no ideas are original and I have no illusions that I'm coming up with groundbreaking ideas so I don't want to just blandly state the obvious. I I think it is a forgiving reminder that there is merit in confirming what other people already feel they know or be

“I've Been Thinking...” behind the songs “THOUGHT PROCESS SERIES” My latest full length album,  “I've Been Thinking...”  released on the Savannah based label  Dope Sandwich Records and Tapes  May 3 rd  is a collection of concepts and narratives that I've written over the last few years featuring instrumental contributions from coast to coast and outside of the country as well. Looking over the collection I'd opine that it is some of my finest work to date (one would hope). What have you been thinking? Over 12 days I had planned on be releasing a behind-the-music sort of blurb for each track.  I got a little off schedule due to a series of crazy life changes and distracting obstacles, but I'm back to finishing up this series! If there are any questions or comments regarding the songs please submit them and I'll do my best to answer and fulfill them! I hope this series is of interest and that the music does something for you! As a short aside before we get
