Happy National Kazoo Day

02.14.13

Happy National Kazoo Day!

Full disclosure: National Kazoo Day was back in January, but since 2013 began I’ve been furiously writing some new material and booking up some great events for the coming year.  So happy belated Kazoo Day! Head over to the AW Store and pick up a kazoo – or a CD – and give it to someone you love. (You have to love someone today, it’s the law.)

PLUS, coming this year: the return of The Bent Compass Party (Austin), The No Brainer Benefit Concert (Philly), The Brooklyn BBQ Block Party (NYC), and much more!!

Stay connected with FACEBOOK & TWITTER,
check out what i’m listening to on SPOTIFY,
listen to me on PANDORA,
watch me on YOUTUBE,
host a HOUSE CONCERT,
or just leave a comment and tell me where I should play next.

And, of course, let’s see each other in person. Because the world looks so much better when it’s not behind a screen.
