Color Me Weasel.
This Thursday evening, I'll be part of the opening act at Colorway's album release party at New City Brewery in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Get your tickets HERE. Colorway is a truly excellent band, featuring the songs of F. Alex Johnson, who also happens to be one of my favorite guitar players, local or elsewhere. The rhythm section features Riley Godleski behind the kit, and Matthew Clegg on bass. These guys ROCK.
"So what's this opening act?' you ask. Easy Weasel is a fun new project featuring yours truly, along with Brad Thayer from Glad Machine, and Chris Collingwood aka Look Park, that came together primarily for this Colorway shindig, but we're already booked for another show in July (details to follow). Perhaps there will be more, but for now, all you need to know is that this show on Thursday is sure to be a lot of fun. It's gonna be the first day of Summer. If you can be there, BE THERE.

Alone.
I'll be playing a rare solo show during the 7-8pm slot at Luthiers Co-Op in Easthampton on Friday, May 25th. I might stand up. I might sit down. I might bring an acoustic, or I might go solo electric. Haven't decided yet. But there will be songs, so show up and I'll sing them at you.

The Prestons - April Gig.
The Prestons play the 7-8pm slot at Luthiers Co-Op in Easthampton, Massachusetts on Saturday, April 28th. The music continues with ReBelle from 8-9:30, and then Larry Dulong and Random Sighting from 9:30-11pm. Luthiers is a fantastic venue within a guitar shop. How cool is that? We love it there.

A New Release From The Prestons.
On November 24th, The Prestons launched their latest collection of songs as a free download on their Bandcamp page. Beautiful Rain is a six-song record, featuring three each from Bill and Rick (or Liam and Chard, if you will). Plans are afoot to release a physical CD sometime next year, very likely come Spring when the duo starts playing shows again.
Okay, so much for the third-person press release style stuff. You'll note that I've made some changes over there in the right-hand column. In addition to the links to my solo albums, there are now links to all three albums by The Prestons. I've listed everything in reverse chronological order, with the latest offering on top. Much in the way the blog posts themselves are arranged, come to think of it.
Just click on any of the album covers to pop over and download whatever suits your pleasure. My solo releases each have a nominal charge attached, but everything by The Prestons is free. Bill and I never connected the page with any payments account, so we decided to continue along that same altruistic path with Beautiful Rain.
In the meantime, stay warm through the next few months, and enjoy the Winter holidays. We'll see you in the Spring.

The Advocate Session.
The Valley Advocate, a widely-read local weekly, has been taping a series of in-office music videos, much in the same vein as NPR's Tiny Desk concerts. Expertly filmed by staff from Northampton Community Television, and with audio captured by Signature Sounds, the videos are all top-shelf productions of intimate performances in a very cool setting.
I recently taped an Advocate Session, and it is now online. CLICK HERE. There's an interview clip, and another of my five-song set.
