Words:

i am going to pretend that i sent this email late because today is my 2 year sober anniversary and i wanted to celebrate that. it is a lie- i was just busy/forgot. but, as a survivor of addiction (an every day survivor) i just wanted to shout out all those who suffer, all those in recovery, all those who have died, all those that will never recover. addiction is a fucker

My Music:

My two out-of-town performances- New London CT & Providence RI-were overwhelming successes. The Warehouse 3 scene in NL was inspiring- so many thoughtful and creative people there. The Providence show was perhaps the first Jo Bled performance in a "bar"- and I got to see 3 drummers who I admire at the same time/place (Ed Wilcox, Mackenzie Kourie & Michael Larrocca)

Coming up in BTV, I have a show at Community of Sound in Burlington on 4/15 (see below). I am playing a Jo Bled washboard set, as well as premiering a new project (Gun Name) with long-time collaborator Jay Blanchard.
