Today is the launch date for a new online cultural magazine, The Curator (a pulication of International Arts Movement), for which I am a contributing editor.
My first piece is about the great Les Paul. Check it out!
Here's a video of Jake Armerding and me performing together on the Acoustic Long Island podcast. (Full podcast here)
Because of the overwhelming outpouring of love on my birthday (my 29th), I will repay all by playing the best shows of my life ever by a gamillion times a thousand and one in July and August!
Or, I will at least give it my best effort.
Jake Armerding has invited me once again to join him on stage at several upcoming shows.
Dear People Who Fear Not the Devil's Horn,
If there is one quality that every living room must have to maintain its status as such... it is living. Without living it would simply be called room. And we can all imagine what it would be like to say "hey, thanks for coming over. How are the kids...? And your Mom...? Awww, that's wonderful, wonderful. What's that honey? Oh, silly me, I must have left my manners on the porch. Please, have a seat in our... room."
Here's where you come in. Here's where you can make a difference and give a room back its name.
I will once again be on stage with the fully alive and lively Jake Armerding as we bring our music Live to the Living Room.
But we can't keep the life flowing without you. With your help we can continue to keep the Living Room... well, living.
Tuesday June 10 at 10:00 PM
Living Room
154 Ludlow St. (between Stanton and Rivington)
($5 suggested tip, and there's a one drink min.)
We hope to see you there.
And remember, "you can't spell LIVING without Y - O - U!" (hmmm, i guess you can. well, come to the show anyway.)
May your rooms be filled with living,
Kevin
For two years I have been writing poetry as an act of creative inspiration to foster that part of my creativity that goes to sleep after hours of overtones, long tones, scales and other highly dangerous and geeky saxophone practice techniques.
Of course, over those two years people I know and that know me started to find out about this little experiment in creative writing and became fond of my work and told other people who told others and so on and so forth, yada yada, etc....
All that has led to an upcoming performance by me of my work at the Bowery Poetry Club as a part of Zoae Arts Zoae Series. And, the infamous organizer of the event has asked me collaborate with good friend and acclaimed vocalist/actor Kevin Massey.
So, Kevin and I have met and worked out what is sure to be an entertaining and we hope artistically and aesthetically satisfying experience for all. Thankfully, Kevin will be making up for my yet developing poetry with his absolutely terrific voice.
Whew... To read some of my work go to The Versery.
