TOBLJ East Coast Tour/Road Trip

This past week I was on what we like to call "A Tour In Theory, Road Trip In Practice," with my spiritual advisor, Dani.  We drove from Montreal to Boston, and met up with folks there for a meal and a jam.  We crashed Generoso's Bovine Ska and Rocksteady radio show on WMBR, where we listened to an amazing reggae version of the Adams Family theme.  Click the above link, and you can listen to us on air (wed march 18 midnight).

Next stop was Brooklyn, where we played at Goodbye Blue Monday with Alan and Dina.  We played some Gospel inspired originals by Dani and Alan.  Dani played Mandolin, Alan the guitar, Dina drums, and I played piano and an organ they had called a "Fun Machine," at a 90 degree angle to the piano.  

Next we stopped in Philly for lunch, and then headed onto Baltimore to meet up with old friends.  I stopped in to see the Dolphin, who is working on a Hendrix mash up album.  We made it out to Thurmont, Maryland for a bluegrass inspired farm party.  
It was an excellent Tour In Theory, Road Trip in Practice, and I am happily refreshed to return to Montreal.  I will be playing with Kalmunity tomorrow night at Sablo Cafe, and some more gigs lined up for the rest of the week.  I will try to keep my myspace page updated with those dates.
