This Summer and Fall

Posted on by

1i16521somemadh_.jpgI had a great 3 1/2 month run helping out my friend Patrice Pike while she looked for a new bass player. (congrats Glenn!) I’m really going to miss playing with her, but it’s time to move one with the rest of the year and that all about “Some Mad Hope.” It hits the stores on August 14th and will be on Vanguard Records. The Fall tour is right around the corner and most of the dates are confirmed.

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.

Brett Dennen dates and recording in L.A.

Posted on by

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.

Madison Square Garden

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….

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.

Some live KUT shows

I hit the ground running once when I finished the tour with Matt Nathanson. (Obviously not updating my website.) I played on KUT with Brett Dennen my first day home. He opened up for us the last week of the tour. I am crazy about his music and he was touring without a bass player. So there you go.

Fall Tour with Matt Nathanson

matt_4c.jpgThings are gearing back up with Matt Nathanson. There have only been a few fly out shows this year with some recording in the spring. We have a gig opening for Train at The Greek Theater in Berkeley next week and then the tour starts up on September 15th with our show at the Austin City Limits Festival. Then there are a few days of rehearsing and the rock starts in L.A. at the Roxy as part of our co-headlining tour with Carbon Leaf. They have some great songs and I hear they are great live. It should be a blast and it will end sometime in November. More dates to come.
