Thanks to everyone who came to hear Phil Angotti Band @ Martyrs the Friday after Thanksgiving (pictured above). It was a great show. I’ll have a couple video clips to post from the show soon.
Here are some upcoming events for me:
Friday Dec 14th Kirtan concert with Mike Cohen & Co. @ Bodhi Spiritual Center, 9pm. I’ll be contributing electric guitar lines & atmospherics along with some very talented instrumentalists (Alexander Duvel, Steve Emmerman & more). Chanting/singing en masse is powerful stuff & Bodhi is a wonderful place to experience it. This is recommended for ANYONE–all ages, regardless of previous musical experience. 😉

Also, I’m very excited to announce my Wishbone Residency in 2013. More details to follow soon, but essentially it’ll be 7 to 9pm the 3rd Sunday of each month and the shows are all-ages. My first guest Sunday Jan 20th (the eve of the Martin Luther King holiday) is the fabulously talented Marc Teamaker (click link to preview audio).
Marc is a recent transplant from the NYC/east coast area. He & I will both perform sets as well as perform with each other. Visit Marc on Facebook. Wishbone has amazing food & drink, a great staff, and a wonderful space for acoustic music with ample seating. The picture below is from a performance with Alaina Stacey; with Wishbone manager/host Miki Greenberg also pictured (right standing).
