Michael Shrieve Quintet at Tost 6.25.07 & 7.2.07

Michael Shrieve at Tost Lounge Mondays

The last few mondays I have been checking out one of my favorite all time musicians Michael Shrieve's newest project evolve at the Tost Lounge. Michael has been exploring his vast catalog of incredible recorded music each with a wonderful cast of musicians. Each week Shrieve draws from past collaborations with the likes of Bill Frisell, Andy Summers, Wayne Horvitz, and more. If you are in Seattle it is not to be missed. It is a true honor and a privilege that I have been asked- for the next two weeks - to fill in for regular guitarist Danny Godinez (a monster of a player - u must check him out I love his style so much check out The Danny Godinez Band). The band includes John Fricke on Trumpet, Farko Daumov on Bass, and Joe Doria on Organ (both my buddies from SwampDweller -www.swampdweller.com and of course Joe from ASD). Anyways I spent a few hours last night talking with Michael - late night - about what he is looking for and am excited to work on some really wonderful compositions. Michael is a real artist. He has a very special outlook on music and how he likes to perform it. As I was leaving his apartment he mentioned how important it is to play a melody and to make it sing and how if you can do this people will realize when you perform they are a part of something special - that is what music is... It's true.
A conversation with Michael about music never reaches a dull moment, it is always an honor to spend time with him in any capacity. Check out also Tangle Town anther of his newer projects.

(and fyi, yes this is the same Michael Shrieve that played at woodstock with Santana, & I would encourage any readers to dig into Michael's cd catalog (during and post santana) - more info at AMG - all music guide on the web)

Kent Halverson in Sky Cries Mary

Just saw my buddy Kent Halverson in Sky Cries Mary at Neumo's last night!
www.skycriesmary.com

They performed their entire new album 'small town' during the first set.
It was a super sick show with old school visuals and an old school 'early 90's' feel.
I remember being 13 listening to the radio in Seattle before nodding off...
It was local music interviews with Kim Thayhil, Eddie Vedder (giving out his phone number), Lazy Suzan, Sage, or Sky Cries Mary. I would have never thought in a million years that 12 years later a buddy of mine would be in one of those bands (Halverson)...
Well, I never thought in a million years that my friend would become People magazine's 'Most Eligable Bachelors" either (Bshorty/Blake Lewis). Two more cases of 'it could happen to you'
so drink up your dream potions and cast your magic spells - or don't... - your choice.

Music First,
