January 2010 and the living is frigid (-10° as I type) and the music is busy. I need to do a 2009 recap as it was a great year.
I have the great honor of being the newest member of Cafe Accordion Orchestra I never really saw this opportunity coming, but it makes me really happy to say the least. Our big concert is January 9, 2010 at The Cedar, this band is so musical and diverse, it’s like traveling all over the world with some great friends and a guitar in my lap, but it’s… well, see the temp above.
Some exciting news from Nancy Harms, ‘In The Indigo’ made it onto the 2009 Best of List in the Star Tribune newspaper. It’s a pretty big deal as jazz on a list like that is a bit rare. I wrote and arranged lots of material on the CD and produced the album, but it’s all Nancy as far the rising star, I knew it from our first meeting almost a year ago now.
I will get to do some out of town shows with Simone Perrin she is so much fun to work with! Speaking of fun, BOMB with Lili’s Burlesque will be a great time, our third year and it always is a total sellout, get your tix soon! As usual, lots of shows this month including The Dakota, Fergus Falls, Winona, Gustavus Aldophus College, The Ritz Theater, check the performance tab and we’ll see you soon.
