I know that I said that the solo show this past May (w/ Empty Country & Field Mouse) was my last before trotting out a new project/band/album/etc. but I’m doing a shortish one this Sunday, 9/18/22, as part of an awesome group show along w/ various friends’ bands, all in honoring our friend (and NJ legend) Tris McCall, who’ll also be performing solo.
This in turn, all part of the New Colossus Festival’s ongoing Summer Sunday outdoor series at 18th Ward Brewery in Williamsburg (300 Richardson St, Brooklyn, across the street from Brooklyn Steel).
My apologies that this is all sorta last-minute: this was planned months ago, then I bowed out for health stuff a few weeks ago, now I'm back in as of this past week (and thanks to everyone involved for putting up w/ all the back&forth hassles).
The lineup’s stellar & featuring:
One of my favorite bands, Overlord
Nicole Yun, she of the wonderful Eternal Summers, who's readying her own very awesome solo album (I heard it a week or two ago and dagnabbit - those songs & vocals!)
And a rare appearance by the band of the best songwriter who lives in our house*, my spouse Rachel’s band, Palomar
And Mike Flannery & His Feelings, who I don’t know but am listening to as I type this in a late effort to catch up
And Tris.
And me.
The show is outdoors, free and all-ages so will also mark the first time that our three youngsters have seen mommy and/or daddy perform live in any way. I don’t know what they’ll think but I’m not sure they really think of either of us as musicians, all prob. for the best - ha.
Set times below:
1pm Mike Flannery & His Feelings
2pm Tris McCall
3pm Overlord
4pm Charles Bissell
430pm Nicole Yun
530pm Palomar
