AllOne NovEmbark Tour 2016: 11/25-26 An LI Visit Revealing A Small World & Big Family Happy New Year folks, at the time of me typing this up it is the first day of 2017, what a predictable but somehow always-surprising aspect of life time is hm?  Hope you all had great experiences during the celebrations of your new years.  Just getting caught up with recounting my adventures on the NovEmbark tour, you may remember that recently I had narrowly escaped being trapped in DC and made it back on the philanthropic nature of others' during my travels...here is where I'd like to pick up these not-so-harrowing travelogues.... Black Friday on Long Island, Caffeine and Jams Just after my "illogistical" journey to Washington, DC the day before Thanksgiving with a quick trek back to Long Island in time to sleepily scarf leftovers on the day of human gratitude all birds fear, I had a black friday show to perform at  The Cup in Wantagh   with my Long Island born but Denton, ...

Happy Holidays my friends, I hope they've all gone well!  Welcome to 2015!     2014 was full of enriching endeavors for me and I'm going to take a bit of time to discuss one of the most important experiences of this past year...  It has been a little over a month since my good friend, mentalist  Andrew Mesmer  premiered his debut full length mentalism performance titled,  "Believe Me, You Won't"  at the  Performance Arts Studio in Port Jefferson . I wanted to introduce you to him and reflect a little on the experience, as I had a behind the scenes hand in developing the show with him and it meant very much to me!  First I invite you to check out his website at  www.andrewmesmer.com  and like him on  HIS FACEBOOK PAGE  follow him on twitter @AndrewMesmer ..go ahead! If you want something memorable for your next gathering, Andrew does private events, corporate events and can adapt his capabilities and presentation ...

AllOnederlust tour: 6/29-7/3 Across the Border in Windsor Ontario

     The AllOnederlust tour brought me to Canada, and I'd been yearning to return since my family and I took a week long touristy trip there six years ago!  I say "The AllOnederlust Tour brought me to Canada" but really it was Jon and Jeremy, literally and figuratively.  Shortly after "The Inevitable Effort" came out, Jeremy stumbled over my music on the internet and he really enjoyed it so he reached out to me and we spoke for a while.  He ended up getting a tattoo inspired by "What's Your Problem?" that has a broken light bulb and the words "have a little perspective" which totally blew me away! Last year he and his friend and musical partner Jon came to see Alexa and I perform at Corktown Studios.  They were both really supportive of me and invited me to their hometown of Windsor, Ontario whenever I'd like and they'd work to set up shows!  I increasing liked who they were and appreciated their music over the year or so that ...

Onederlust tour Chicago 6/23-6/25 Reacquainting with Windy City

Monday 6/23      Performing in an inspiring Safe Haven      My bus ride from Indianapolis to Chicago was relatively short. I read and listened to More Than Skies'   EP “The Liar The Puppet The Fox” . It's a lovely acoustic album, Adam Tomlinson, whose the mastermind behind the project, is releasing a double album of similar new and old music soon so look out for that. I had a lot of time before my performance at Beauty Bar , I walked through the brutal heat of Chicago dragging my suitcase. I was nervously anticipating my performance there. The theme for the S ALONATHON LEXICA event was “How We Heal” and I had decided earlier in the week to perform a piece about my Poppy, and I realized that I didn't want it to be written so as to maintain the sincerity and vulnerability of it. As I walked for about an hour to find the venue, I improvised aloud, speaking to myself about things and reminiscing about my grandfather and times we had together ...
