I have a show coming up on Dec 23rd! But NOT JUST ANY SHOW.
Check it out:
That's right, next Friday at the Ironwood I'll be stepping out from my typical role of bassist into the ever-so-glamorous role of songwriter/bandleader!
What makes this particularly exciting for me is that, somehow, the cosmic forces of the universe have aligned to allow me to secure my Dream Team of musicians from my years of playing music in Calgary. This is quite literally the DEADLIEST band I have ever assembled!
I've been crafting these tunes over the past 4 years and fine-tuning the arrangements with the help of Warren Tse, whose impressive resume includes collaborations with everyone from jazz trumpeter/vocalist Johnny Summers to Emmy-winning composer Dave Pierce. Also helping with horn arrangements is legendary bass trombonist Dan West, who now lives in London, England and has actually performed for Jonny Greenwood. Nuff said. Following the show, we'll be recording this brand-new collection of tunes at Warren's studio, which will of course be followed by the release of an EQUALLY DEADLY CD!
This, however, is your big chance to hear all these tunes for the Very First Time Ever!
Our special guest vocalist Amy Wood will open the show, to be followed by a feature set by the full 12-piece band. It promises to be an outstanding night of music, and I'd be thrilled to have you there! If you are so inclined, you can reserve a table at the Ironwood by calling (403)269-5581. You can also just show up at the door! Cover is $10.
Hope you can join us!
