Uncommon Ground Residency, Elbo Room Banner, and Leopold Group Show

May was freaking awesome. No joke. With performances everywhere from Champaign to Madison (where we rocked out the World's Largest Johnsonville Brat Fest! Brat Fest Pics ), it was kicking to say the least. And now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast:

So I'm Uncommon Ground's resident artist for the month of June! (ALL SHOWS ALL AGES AND FREE)

Every Wednesday in June I'm playing at Uncommon Ground with friends of my choosing! I'm going to have some fun with it, and each night I'm going to play a differently themed set and with different guests. For a complete guide check out This Page. As a quick reminder, these nights are free admission, but once the room is full they don't let anyone else in :( The only way to technically guarantee a seat is to call them up and make reservations at (773)929-3680.

Remember this picture??? It was taken by Chris Petruniak at our Elbo Room show in March, and now Elbo Room has decided to put a gigantic banner outside (like 13 feet long) using it! So look for it next time you pass the Elbo Room! They're producing the banners as you read this very text.

Also, some new songs (and some original demos of old favorites) of mine were used in the new modern dance piece "Of Mind and Sky" by the Leopold Group. They rock, and you should come see the show June 27 or June 29! Just to entice you further, here's a link to get discount tickets: Leopold Group Show Discount Tickets.

The last bit of news is that GREEN EYES (my modern dance folk rock song-cycle goodness choreographed by Lizzie Leopold and directed by Jessica Redish with book by all three of us) was admitted into the New York International Fringe Festival this summer! More news on that soon as I'll have more to tell :)
