We just confirmed a date at the Rogue & Peasant in Fremont, a lovely neighbourhood of Seattle. The Rogue & Peasant is brand new and we think it’s pretty darn cool.
I’ll be joined by the mesmerizing talents of Messrs Dustin Schmidt and Jeff Ferrell.
Saturday, 24 March. This show is going to feel good, I know it.
Come on out and join us.
I’m ok with going to war, as long as everybody agrees to use water squirt guns.
This Wednesday at the Stepping Stone in Ballard, we’ll have some really great local Seattle talent: Fredd Luongo, Dustin Schmidt, and Jeremy Serwer.
And then there will also be me!
8PM-midnight
FREE
These nights keep getting better, and one of the local music sites gave us a nice little write-up:
Puget Playlist: Showcasing Seattle’s Best
See you Wednesday!
Cheers,

I played a few songs last night here in Seattle. I borrowed a guitar, an electric guitar specifically, and played it though a distorted little amp and was joined by a cool local girl who sat in on drums. I think the thin gritty distortion of the guitar immediately put me into punk/distorted/garage band mode and I didn’t even play any of my own songs and instead just went into a medley of thrashed garage band standards.
It was liberating and felt dirty at the same time. I have no idea what kind of impression I made on the audience, but I guess it seemed to go over well enough.
If you’re one of those people in the audience and are now surprised to have landed on my web page to hear the music I typically make, I hope you’re pleasantly surprised, or at least not terribly disappointed that I’m not the next Kurt Cobain.
Love,
SJ
I’ve been talking a bit about Johnny Cash in my shows lately, and today is his birthday, so I figured I’d dig up a performance of his you’ve probably never seen. Johnny Cash used to have a great show on TV where the best music artists would come on and perform and often duet with him. This is a great performance of him from that show with another of my favourite artists, Gordon Lightfoot:
I’d hate to think of what music would be like if Johnny Cash hadn’t ever lived. So I won’t.
Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash, and thanks for showing us how it’s done.
Love,
SJ
