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, ...

NOVEMBARK TOUR 2016: 11/23 & 11/24 Washington, DC Hey AllOne Family, As I initially started writing this I was preparing myself to head out to meet with Drent in Rhode Island and play a run of events in New England, and then I was preoccupied for a month and had to come back and finish this. My sincerest apologies...Happy New Year...but while on the subject of holidays, the day before Thanksgiving (Turkey-ve as they call it nowhere) I drove down to Washington, DC...here's a little about that adventure: A Lengthy Drive Rife with Entertainment and Tolls. So after a stint of shows back home on Long Island I was really fulfilled and excited bit of course also jittery and eager to get on the road!  Thanks to The help of organizer Joel Pomerantz at Electric Maid, who responded to my email to him (got his information through DoDIY.Org) I had an event set up at that community venue in Tacoma Park.  For those of you who don't know, or were like me and just didn't thi...

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 f...

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...

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...
