Listen Up! Brooklyn

It's been awhile, cuz it's been real nice out but I'm back with a very special show.  On this epsiode I've played a select few of the numerous great bands participating in this year's  Brooklyn New Music Festival.Info on the festival and all the bands I played on the show is available at Seeds and Bones.  The festival is from sept. 14-sept. 18th.  The shows are either cheap or free, and they are all free with CMJ passes, cuz the two have teamed up.  The Shank Bone Mystic project will be performing Sunday Sept. 18th at Trash Bar amidst a lineup of incredible bands.  So, if you're lucky enough to live in Brooklyn then you I'll see you at the show.  And if you accidentally chose to live somewhere else then you should still come.

A bit of a change of pace this week.  My band, The Shank Bone Mystic Project recently had the pleasure of playing an international music festival in Antigua , Guatemala.  This week's episode is a video podcast, in the form of a music video made using footage from the trip.  Enjoy!
