yikes it happened again!! 3 months between newsletters hehe whoopsie 🙂 on the bright side it means i actually have a few things to fill you in on, let’s get into it
first and most important: we put out an album! Subject to Change came out in early September and i still think it rocks, so that feels important to mention. usually by the time new music comes out i’m kinda… over it, like i’ve written another dozen songs and i’m ready to move on. this time i DO have another dozen songs written already but i’m still really into this record. spotify link here (sorry that’s what i use, if you have apple or tidal or whatever you’ll just have to find it yourself) It got some nice reviews too, from Nippertown, NYS Music, RadioRadioX, plus a mention from WEXT.
Albany: December 5th
Alright album release is great and all but also kinda old hat at this point. what i really wanted to tell you about in this newsletter is our next show. Thursday, December 5th we will be at The Linda in Albany as part of the Live & Local series put on by WEXT and WAMC! Sabrina Trueheart will be sharing the stage with us, and it’s a nice seated type of venue which we haven’t done in a while. i’m going to be test driving some of the new songs i mentioned earlier which is also something i don’t normally do.
Get tickets here, they’re cheaper ahead of time!
part 3, in which i yap endlessly
I recently had the immense pleasure of joining Andy Scullin on his podcast Unsigned518. i admit i still don’t really fully understand why people allow me to just blab on their shows but hey! i’m not complaining! it was a joy to get to dive into some things that i don’t usually get a chance to talk about, namely my stance on music theory for children (spoiler: i think we need more of it). check it out, and if you’re based around the capital region, give them a follow wherever you listen to podcasts.
and just a couple more parting thoughts
i don’t know how much i can really add to the conversation beyond what has been said many times and much more eloquently than what i can contribute, but i can’t not mention the election. Trump being elected totally fcking sucks, like this really blows, but we will not let despair win. all we can do is continue taking care of each other and trying to be good in our interpersonal relationships, continue to question the status quo and be critical of those with power over others. this comes as no surprise to anyone who has been paying any attention to the reality of life in the united states, or anyone who is honest about the history of this genocidal empire. it was bound to happen at some point. it’s scary and alarming and things are going to get real dicey, so find a way to make life better for people around you, and resist the urge to be a martyr or self-flagellate or blame your neighbors. marx was right, that’s all. and protect your trans friends.
okay that’s all i got for now, i love you bye !
PS i’m on bluesky now, add me. seems way more fun than threads so far.
