I’ll cut to the chase. I haven’t been much for blogging these days but a lot has been happening musically and creatively and maybe at some point I’ll get to catch you all up on some recent projects I’ve been involved in as they take more shape. It’s been a fun, fruitful time but for now I’m gonna start where we are.
This week I couldn’t be more thrilled to be playing a handful of shows in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Chico with Sean Hayes, and sharing the bill is none other than the amazing Barr Brothers from Montreal, Quebec! This is very exciting for me as Andrew and Brad Barr of the Barr Brothers are some of my favorite musicians in the world and were undeniably some of the biggest musical influences of my adolescense (then seen in their now sporadically performing avant-rock trio “The Slip”).
As far as Sean Hayes, we had a great tour this September on the East and West Coasts and are all warmed up from recently spending a week tracking Sean’s forthcoming record. We will be playing newer and older songs alike in an energized trio performance with Sean, myself, and maestro Eric Kuhn (Silian Rail).
Sean Hayes with The Barr Brothers
Thursday November 3rd at the Independent in San Francisco, CA
Friday November 4th at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, CA
Saturday November 5th at the Origami Lounge in Chico, CA
Looking ahead, I am also excited to be playing with Kacey Johansing and her great band at the New Parish in Oakland on November 20th, opening for Mirah!
As well as a special Ponie’s show, a new band which is the brainchild of wonderful songwriters Heather Combs and Elliot Randall at the Hotel Utah in San Francisco on December 1st.
Hopefully sometime soon I can fill you in on more details about fun things that have happened, recording projects, great shows I may not have told you about etc. But for now there is so much information going around, sometimes I just need to let things happen and not worry about recording or promoting every moment for better or worse. Thanks for your continued support!
Love,
Ezra
