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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

January 12th through the 23rd I’ll be playing [...]

Eldridge Goins is the drummer on these songs with Wendy and also the [...]

I’m playing on KVRX 91.7 FM tonight with Suzanna Choffel as part of Local Live. We play from 10 - 11 PM. I think there will be an archive of the show online if you miss it. You can also listen live online via Real Player (STREAM) at the KVRX website. I love playing with [...]

Things 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 [...]
