Well, anyone who saw me perform in 2009 or the first part of this new year has seen/will see my friend and live-show collaborator “Cars & Trains” (aka Tom Filepp) in action as my backing band on stage. He has scored himself a killer record deal with “Fake Four” and is heading off on tour here in a month or so to promote his new record, “The Roots, The Leaves” which comes out THIS TUESDAY!!! (1/26/2010)

I’ve had a wonderful time playing with him and have learned a lot about how to translate my music into the live-show format as a result of having him on the project this past year. He’s amazing. You still have a couple chances to see us do our thing: Berbati’s in Portland TOMORROW NIGHT (1/23) and again at Holocene in Portland on February 2nd for “The Rumble” with “Jaguar Love”.

Be sure to pick up the new “Cars & Trains” record next week when it hits and watch the video for the first single, “Intimidated By Silence” just below:

I’ll be opening for “Jaguar Love” at Holocene on Tuesday, February 2nd (2010) for “The Rumble: Portland“, a FREE SHOW put on by the folks at “Future Sounds”, “Cravedog, Inc.” and “Pampelmoose.com”!!! It is gonna be a CRAZY night.

Here’s the poster:

See you this weekend at Berbati’s…then again next month at Holocene! So fun.
