Spring/Summer 2010
Posted date Add a comment
Happy Spring/Summer folks… at long last … & let’s pray that we’re past the ‘monsoon’ season!
Here’s a brief update on some stuff…
- – Recently I was back in the studio (Zippah) with the gifted singer/songwriter Jody Blackwell, adding more drums & percussion to her forthcoming album. Stay tuned for more news about this project. I must say that Brian Charles is once again doing an outstanding job recording this album. The tracks I’ve heard thus far sound tremendous!
- – I’m happy to report I’ll be playing a string of gigs this summer with guitar virtuoso Bobby Keyes in his trio (which also includes bass virtuoso Marty Ballou). I’m a lucky drummer! Check the gigs page for dates/times, etc.
- – In addition to our upcoming performance {1st time} @ Chanti on May 7th, the Tough Love Trio is also back at the beloved Acton Jazz Café on Saturday July 3rd.
- – For fans of the annual summer concert series {out on the back lawn of the ‘Great House’} at the Crane Estate/Castle Hill in Ipwich, I’ll be there again with Orville Giddings (with his extended ensemble) on September 2nd.
- – The ‘Wet Paint’ reunion concert is still in the works! All five original members are “in”, and the gig will be the 1st time we’ve all played together since 1991-ish. We’re still trying to secure a venue and sort out the various schedules, etc.
I do try my best to keep the gigs page updated on a [somewhat] regular basis… please check-in for more area performances.
~~~ Here’s wishing you all a wonderful summer! ~~~
Best…. Steve
