Tonight, I am performing for the 200th time this year! I’ll be at the White Horse Tavern with Phil Hirschi on cello, and we’ll perform completely acoustic, no amps or mics.

This is one of the coolest little hidden bars in Seattle, it has a very relaxed old English tavern vibe. I’m going to be celebrating a bit, this is by far the most often I’ve ever performed in a year, and all of the work has been very good for my music, performance ability, and overall well-being.
See you tonight!

We have a special semi-full band show tonight at the Rolling Log Tavern in Issaquah WA, with Carey Sorrell sitting in on drums and Phil Hirschi collecting souls with his rock-and-roll cello!

I’m performing a show with Phil Hirschi (cello) at Hattie’s Hat in Ballard, Seattle, Sunday October 26 at 8PM. We’ll also have a full band backing us up, including an upright bass, mandolin, saw, and drums.
Hattie’s Hat is a great listening room, we’re going to have a super fun night!
See you soon!

Hi! It’s been a very active year so far. I’ve performed over 170 (probably more!) shows, released a CD, met thousands of cool folks, finally made some cool merch, and there’s still a bunch left to do before 2015.
Oh! And then a few days ago I went to a show in Seattle and got to meet and hang out with one of my music heroes, Mike Mills from R.E.M.:
Also pictured, Phil Hirschi, my rock-and-roll cello wizard. I don’t usually take selfies, but for Mike Mills I could only partially resist.
I’m working on a bunch more stuff and auditioning members for a full live band, I’ll post more soon!
Love,
SJ
Phil Hirschi and I had a fun rehearsal last night, we’re working on cello parts for one of my newer songs, ‘ Suite: Maid of the Guillotine’. Since I don’t write music notes, this is often my view of Phil as he tries to make sense of what I’m looking for while I’m singing smatterings of melodies and using nonsensical words to describe how it should sound. Fortunately, Phil is very clever, and can find the notes and styles I’m trying to communicate and comes up with great suggestions.
We’ll be performing ‘Suite: Maid Of The Guillotine’ soon, it has a neat feel, we hope you’ll dig it.
Best,
SJ
Lovers, Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
I’m excited to bring a heavy dose of live alt-folk-rock-rhythm-&-blues to the Mix in Georgetown, Seattle, on Sunday March 2nd. Come get some, it’ll be a fun evening!
Phil Hirschi (Mahavishnu Orchestra) will join me with some rock-and-roll cello, it’s going to be a rad show, I personally guarantee it.
