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.

Dear friends, I’ll be playing a show at the famous Crocodile in Seattle WA, 29 Dec, with some really cool local artists:

This is the spot where Pearl Jam, Nirvana, R.E.M. and a few other legends played, and I hear it’s a mandatory place for up-and-coming artist to perform in Seattle. We’re performing at the Back Bar, but maybe they’ll let us on the main stage next time!

The show starts at 8PM
$5

See you there!

Best,

SJ

Addict

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I am an addict. There is a cocktail of heavenly drugs released in my brain and body when I play music for an audience, and I am addicted to it. I crave it, I scheme for it, I obsess over it. I have people sending out emails and making calls so that I can get get my fix. The more people in the audience combined with the energy they give back magnifies the effects of the drugs. That momentary connection is more satisfying than any other drug on the market. Sometimes, the high lasts even for a day or two after a really good show.

There aren’t any headaches or nausea when I’m coming down from the high after a show, but I can definitely get a bit depressed if I don’t have another show coming up right away. Then I start jonesing. Fidgeting. Feel unloved. Sigh. And then I mope. It’s really kind of pathetic. I just sort of wander around and figure nobody wants to hear me play and it’s just a downward spiral from there. 

I want to play music for you every day. I have shows coming up, I’d love to see you and play some rock-and-roll music for you. Darling, what I’m really trying to say, is that I want you to be part of my next fix. And I want to be part of yours.
