Greetings!

Thanks for coming out to our most recent Rockwood show in NYC! That might have been one of the best shows we've had there and you guys turning out was a very big part of that so once again, thanks! We really appreciate it. Did any of you stick around for Norah Jones' other band afterward? I had no idea she played electric... :-)

Coming up this June we'll be playing a few gigs in the NYC area, starting with Tavern on the Green on June 21st at 2 pm - that's part of Make Music New York, where hundreds of musicians put on free shows all across New York City. The very next day we'll be up in The Bronx, my home borough for Bronx Weekand a short performance on their outdoor stage. On June 28th we'll be back at the New York Book Festival which is held right near the Naumburg Band Shell in Central Park. Hope to see you at one or all of these!

REVERIE is continuing to receive FM and internet radio airplay as well as press, most recently WKSU (Kent State University, Ohio) and folkalley.com added "Give in to This Life". Offthebeat-n-track.com (which is also syndicated on a few terrestrial FM stations in WI, KY, CT and NY) has added "Doing Time" and the record was recently reviewed by media in Israel & Brazil.

UK + Germany Tour Dates:

This July I will be touring the UK for the first time then touring in Germany where I will be playing in some new cities as well! UK dates include 2 shows in London as well as numerous dates in the West Midlands. I'd really appreciate it if you could spread the word to your friends and colleagues in the UK since it's my first venture over there and could certainly use the support! Friends and family in Germany, I will be coming back to Hamburg and Berlin as well as shows in Oldenburg, Cottbus and hopefully Cologne. Accompanying me on some of these will be Mario Waschinski on bass (who played in my first band there in high school!) as well as the band Stylblyten from Berlin.

Concert at Sellersville Theater with Annie Haslam

Please mark your calendars for a very special event this fall at the Sellersville Theater in Sellersville, PA. The band and I will be doing a show there with special guest Annie Haslam, lead singer of the band Renaissance. Tickets are on sale now for this event that will take place on Saturday, September 20th at 8 PM. You can find out more about the talented Annie Haslam at her web site, and purchase tickets at theSellersville Theater web site!

Until I leave town I will be checking out events in NYC that my friends are involved in and am letting you know about some of them so you can see if you might be interested. As many of you know I love dance and performance art so I'm going to be checking out my bud Yoel Cassell (who has been nominated for a Tony!!) in a show put on by our friend Pavel Zuštiak called "Blind Spot". The show runs June 11-15 at Performance Space 22. More info at palissimo.com.

Cheers!
