Hey There!

How are you?

Things are great here. We’ve been trucking along with the new Fitted Shirt album. It’s sounded great. I start tracking my drum and guitar tracks on Sunday. Wahoo!

2 Shows coming up.

The first is on Thursday at Tupelo Musical Hall in Londonderry. We’re playing the open mic night again. Hopefully we won’t get picked 23g24524523th to play. We’re hoping for an earlier slot since a few of us are lucky enough to still have full time jobs. At practice last night, we decided that I’ll be sneaking behind Dan to play his electric guitar while he does the rapping part in the Billy Idol tune. This will be AWESOME, look for a vid on youtube after the event!

The 2nd show is at Life Alive in Lowell, MA on Friday, April 17th. Show starts at 7 and we’ll be playing from 9-9:45. In this 30 min set we’ll also squeeze in Life In Circles, which is my favorite Vigor tune to play live! You can RSVP on facebook. This should be a great show! Life Alive has incredible food so come early to grab a bite to eat with us!

I love meeting and being around creative people. It fills me with such joy. These people are so exciting to talk to. Very refreshing. When I’m around them it feels as if no breath is wasted and no action is left unfelt.

I’m heading down to the cape to hang out with my dad and step mom Friday. Also to woop my dad in NBA Live 09, since he’s too old to play me in real basketball :) . On Saturday I get to see Providence as I’ll be going to visit a new friend. Lots of people have told me that Providence is beautiful so I’m very excited to see the area!

Practice, Practice, and a mini Vigor set

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Heya,

Things have been great here. Practice for the two Fitted Shirt shows have been going great so far. Playing bass has been ripping up my fingers, which is GOOD because I haven’t been playing enough stringed instruments lately! I asked Dan if I could play a few Vigor songs at the upcoming acoustic show and he said “sure”. The two of us practiced “Life In Circles”, “Patient Persistence“, and “Sketching Perfection“. He wrote some new parts and sang some new back ups and these songs are sounding AMAZING! It’s SO much fun to be playing again.

Speaking of how much fun it’s been to be playing shows again…

Playing shows again feels incredibly relieving. Music is what I was made to do, so why did I let myself not fully be a musicians for so many years? Well, many reasons I suppose, but any way you want to look at it, I’m back %100 and it feels natural. I love seeing the looks on people when I play. You know, that one person in the crowd that is really enjoying themselves. I LOVE that. It makes me feel perfect.

When I play live I try to have as much fun as humanly possible and I think it shows by watching this video(after the break). It’s the way I enjoy to see shows, so it’s the way I perform shows. Give the best show possible!

In awesome news, my best friend Janelle is back from the Air National Guard for a month! I just picked her up at Logan this afternoon. Steph is having a bday thang for me tonight and we will be heading over there later ! Wahoooooooooo!!!!!!
