Back from San Francisco -- LIVE at The Fillmore!!

The Fillmore is probably the coolest, most alive venue that I've played. Not necessarily the prettiest, or most comfortable, or even the largest, but it is alive with all the musicians that have performed there in the past. I couldn't believe that I got to be on stage there with Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band. We filled out the horn section with Jeff Bordes on trumpet and Danny Sandoval on tenor sax. Both fantastic players with charisma for miles.

Shows with Josh Ritter...

What could be wrong about playing shows with an amazing songwriter and some of my best friends? Nothing. It was amazing. The Trocadero in Philly, the House of Blues in Boston, Terminal 5 in New York, and the 9:30 Club in D.C. An amazing trip. I'm posting a video from the Terminal 5 show of Kathleen. I wrote the horn arrangement for this tune, and took a rediculous little bari sax solo in the middle of it (not my own suggestion). The sound quality is not great, but you get the idea...

...and just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I'm off to San Francisco (along with my beautiful wife) to wrangle a horn section for Josh's sold out show at the Fillmore on Feb. 25th.
