We're officially in the home stretch for 2025! I've got a lot of exciting stuff happening in the next couple of months that I'm excited to tell you about.
Repeal Day Party
One of my favorite parties of the year is always the Annual Repeal Day Celebration where we toast the passing of the 21st Amendment and the end of Prohibition in the US on December 5!
This year is 10th year for the annual party and we're going big! We're moving venues to Parker and Quinn in Midtown, we have a new sponsor, Privateer Rum, I'll have a 7 piece band with Jon-Erik Kellso, Will Anderson, Sam Chess, Peter Yarin, Tal Ronen, and Andrew Millar joining me. DeWitt Fleming Jr. will be MCing, and we'll have burlesque with Dandy Dillinger, Dominant Jeane, and Qualms Galore. Get your tickets NOW! There's a couple of publications that it looks like will be running articles about The Songbook Sessions this month that will mention this party; |  |
I think when they do it's going to sell out fast. I want all my friends and fans to be able to get tickets before we have a rush on them! Here's the Eventbrite ticket link!
I know there's already some folks planning to come into town for this weekend, I highly encourage it!
Thursday 12/4: I'll be playing a trio set Thursday night at the monthly Green Fairy Absinthe Tasting.
Friday 12/5: Repeal Day Party
Saturday 12/6: I play brunch at Peck Slip Social 1-4pm
Sunday 12/7: I'll be playing 2 shows with my pal Alex Mendham's 11-piece orchestra at Swing 46. Early Show Tix, Late Show Tix
It's a great chance to hear a ton of wonderful music from two of the world's leading vintage-style band leaders, all packed into one weekend!
New Venue: Winnie's!
We're starting some gigs at Winnie's Jazz Bar! For those of you who have been asking me about places to hear us that are more of a listening room, this is going to be a great spot for you! And they've recently acquired a nice baby grand piano!
Come check out our first show there this Sunday if you can!
