Sneak Peek: The Album Cover.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Rickwash.

Saturday night with Pugwash was pretty great. I played six songs solo to open the show, and then Tosh, Joe, and Shaun (l-r in the video) joined me for a seventh, final tune: a simple rock shuffle take on my song Holiday Road (the studio version of which was this year's Summer Single, you may recall). The very excellent guitarist and songwriter F. Alex Johnson shot the video. Cheers, kind sir!

The Irish Are Coming.

In fact, they're here as of today. One of my favorite bands ever, the four lads in Pugwash have embarked on their first US tour. Chris introduced me to them around the time we were starting work on my Wednesday Child album. Long story short, we've all become mutual friends via email, social media, and tossing CDs back and forth across the briny.

The first date on the tour is in Hamden, Connecticut, a mere hour and a half down the highway. I'll be there. A few days later, my wife and I will see them in Portland, Maine. And two days after that, I'm opening for them in Northampton, an 8pm show at The Basement on October 11th. You can imagine how chuffed I am about this.

Good Show.

Had a blast playing to a great crowd last night at Luthier's Co-Op.

Greater Boston's wonderful Belinda Rawlins hosts Bubbles In The Think Tank ("It's not a blog, it's a radio show"), and I am happy to report that Wednesday Child has made her list of not-to-be-missed musical highlights from 2012.

“‘Maybe the Girl’ was a fabulous track!”

Rick Murnane – Wednesday Child (Buttonshop)  When Bubbles in the Think Tank favorite Ray Mason heard this disc, he got in touch with Rick and told him to mail it to Belinda immediately. I’m so glad he did. So bright, so poppy, this disc spent many spins making food with me.  It all tasted better for it.

Concert Pics.

Photos: Ivan Oransky

This morning I found two pictures that our friend Ivan took during that online concert thing a few weeks back.

I especially like the top one because it makes me look quite a bit taller than I really am.

I'm only five-six, and was standing next to someone who is six-four. The lower pic is somewhat more accurate, obviously.

A lot of you have asked whether the event was archived, but that wasn't an option at the time (at least not through Stageit). If anyone recorded it somehow, let us know.

See you 'round.
