Here is a clip from the Cutting Room on Jan. 27th in NY. Matt played a small sold out solo show a couple of days before the MSG show. Aaron, Lyle and myself left our killer dinner a little early to go sit in with Matt on a couple of songs since there was some backline (amps, drums) at the club. It was our first time playing out with Lyle Molzan on drums. I think he did a great job.
Ladies and Gentlemen…I present Car Crash.
I’m home for a few days with some shows with Suzanna Choffel and some recording with Tenlons Fort before I head to L.A. to finish up Matt Nathanson’s record. I’m super psyched to get started this batch of songs since Jason McGerr from Death Cab for Cutie will be the drummer on the session. His beats are always so creative and I know he will bring a lot to Matt’s songs.
Here are the dates I’m playing with Brett Dennen.

I played Madison Square Garden tonight with Matt Nathanson. We opened for O.A.R with Gomez. It was sold out and O.A.R. taped a live DVD. I thought we killed it. We also had a new drummer named Lyle Molzan. He’s a Canuck from Toronto and plays with Jann Arden. He is a total bad ass and the band has NEVER sounded so good. I’ll post some more pictures later. What a great experience!
So much has been happening lately. I’ve been recording the new Tenlons Fort record with Jack Gibson. I’ve also been busy playing local shows with Suzanna Choffel, Erin Condo, Sarah Glynn, Craig Marshall, Jade Day and Dave Madden but I’m about to hit the road again. January 12th through the 23rd I’ll be playing bass with a fantastic singer/songwriter named Brett Dennen. He is a mix of Dylan, Paul Simon and Jack Johnson. He opened for the last leg of Matt Nathanson’s tour last year. I finish out this month in NY with Matt and we are playing a show at the world famous Madison Square Garden opening up for O.A.R. and Gomez.
We finish Matt’s record in L.A. in February and then I jump back on Brett’s tour in Lexington, KY on the 19th and I’m with him until March 18th in Dallas. We’ll be playing some shows during SXSW and I’ll get to be on tour and sleep in my own bed at the same time. That’s the way it should always be.
Go listen to Brett (iTunes) and check out his MySpace.
