BBQ
The MMNY Block Party is Here!
The Make Music New York Solstice Celebration continues into the evening with the Sixth Annual Make Music NY Williamsburgers & Wieners BBQ Block Party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The party, hosted by Avi Wisnia, features musical performances and special collaborations from an eclectic array of NYC artists and friends. The event is held in the garden patio of Cyn Lounge, so that the music spills out onto the sidewalk, and the dancing onto the street. FREE Burgers & Dogs are available (while supplies last), with drink specials all day long (21+, at the inside bar).
Avi Wisnia performs at 6:00pm.

SxSW Shows 2012
It’s time again for thousands of bands from around the world to descend upon Austin, TX and eat the town out of all its amazing BBQ. I’ll be returning for the fun this year, doing a couple of shows, including putting together The Bent Compass Party. If you know anyone in the music industry, send them my way – I’ll be handing out free music everywhere and searching for my favorite SxSW Brownie.

Summer Time Tour: California, Connecticut and Back
Happy America! Even if you are not American, I hope you take some time today to go eat a Hamburger. I’m very glad that summer is here. It means pools, fireworks, and a little time off to write some new songs. Of course, i’m not going off duty for very long. Next week, I’m getting back in my car to start a whole string of shows in Connecticut, California, and then back to my tri-state area for some huge shows (starting with a kick-off show as part of The Android Plus Festival at The Blockley in sunny Philadelphia on Saturday, July 9).
Check out the full tour schedule for July as new tour dates are still being added! In August, get ready for a headlining show at Webster Hall in NYC, Hard Rock Cafe in Philadelphia, The Sculpture Gardens in Hamilton NJ, and a performance on one of the main stages at Musikfest in Bethlehem PA alongside artists like Steely Dan, Allison Krauss and Maroon 5.
I would also like to tell you that I’m putting on a Super Secret Surprise Show TONIGHT, to celebrate this fine country, on a rooftop in Brooklyn, complete with Fireworks! (Thank you, Macy’s.) If you are in the NYC area for July 4th, reply in the next few hours, and I’ll tell you where to go.

The FREE party features musical performances and special collaborations from local bands and artists. The event is held in the garden patio of the bar, so that the music spills out onto the sidewalk, and the dancing onto the street. Burgers & Dogs are free, with drink specials all day long.
