Delfest this weekend!
/Heading to Delfest tomorrow. 4 days of bluegrass in my hometown, including 2 sets from my hero, Trey Anastasio! Gonna really focus on how great pickers keep such good time and apply it to my playing.

Saw this at the Hornell gig:
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. - Albert Einstein
New Toy
/So much fun for me, so not fun for my neighbors!
Takin' it to the streets
/Some of the PitchBlak crew busking in Harlem last Sunday. Gotta raise some funds for our summer tour! Check me out awkwardly trying to fix my broken drum throne in the opening shot.

I had a FANTASTIC weekend of music making with PitchBlak. The Balkan Shout Out gig was absolutely off the hook. I don't think the audience stopped jumping once during our hour set. They really knew how to get down! The crowd at Littlefield was equally as awesome, and I really enjoyed watching BatalaNYC do their thing. It was very inspiring!
Additionally, the first round of mixes for our forthcoming album, You See Us, just hit my inbox and my God is it sounding fresh! Aaron Nevezie is the man!

1st Annual PitchBleezy Recital

Getting nervous/excited for the recital I'm playing Saturday. It's been awhile since I performed solo classical pieces! Check out this short clip of me, Alaina (tb), and Melinda (p) shedding Stephen Rush's Inner Rebellion. More info on the event can be found here.
Just Announced: PitchBlak at Brooklyn Bowl 3/24
/Brooklyn Bowl is seriously my favorite venue in NYC. Maybe everywhere. I've seen many great shows there (particularly great was Joe Russo's Almost Dead) and had the pleasure of playing there with PitchBlak about this time last year. Great hospitality, brew, and unbeatable food.
So stoked to return Sunday night! Click to buy tickets.
Drum Cam: It's All Good
/Here's a little solo clip from Dante's this past weekend. Sorry the quality isn't better, but it was tough to get a good shot on stage. Enjoy and please comment!
