September 03, 2006

I've updated the audio page with some new material. There are currently ten tracks from demos, albums and live performances. Enjoy.


August 20, 2006

Well, it's been a long time.

I've spent more time on other people's websites in the past year or more and let mine grow old. Changes are minor, but the tourdates are going to be kept active for once. I also added some new pictures in the photo gallery.

What have I been up to you ask? Well for one Jess (my wonderful girlfriend) has kept me busy. She's been busy making all kinds of neat things to sell and we've been quite crazy developing the website. It's quite live and quite shoppable, so check it out. AtomicVeggie.com.

Kris Kehr and Stone Poets are back together and played their first show in almost 5 years just last night in Belvidere, NJ. Watch for some changes over at KrisKehr.com in the coming weeks. There are some shows coming up in State College and in Reading, please come out.

The Youngers are still playing with me occasionally on keys. I'll be in Reading with them again in September. Plans for a new album are in the works. More details to come.

Check out my tour dates page to find out where I'll be next.

Later.


September 18, 2004

It's been some time since the last update, so here we go.

During the last tour we had a great time roaming around south. Isaac's CD release was a fun night and our visit to Nashville was a long, wonderful experience. Couldn't have been happier with Adam's hard work and the fantastic engineering from Jeff. Not to mention Bucky and everyone else we met.

Right now I'm waiting for a flight to Myrtle Beach for a family reunion. The remnants of Hurricane Ivan cancelled my original flight and made a mess out of State College last night. At least I can still make it to the beach, even if it is a little later than I originally planned.

The rain, rain, rain. I haven't seen flooding like we saw last night since March of 1996. North Atherton Street was closed by flooding, East Branch Road was closed. Many others were barely passable. Should make for an interesting Football weekend. I got home after a long night and there was about four feet of water in my basement. Hopefully my clothes washer will survive, but I don't thing the Leslie 145 will. Alas. I'm afraid some other musical gear down there won't be salvageable either. I guess Monday will be the day to sort through that mess, no time today... I've got a plane to catch.

After my brief beach vacation we head south again. Then we're back in town ever so briefly before heading out on our first European tour. I'm excited, so is everyone else. For the first time the house will be empty for some days. Sasquatch fortunately will have a daily visitor, but Mick went to Ireland for a wedding. I'm pretty jealous, but I'll be there after he gets back.

More later.

We're gearing up to head out on the road again tomorrow. On Sunday we play Isaac Wardell's CD release party in Chattanooga, TN. Isaac came up here to PA a while ago to record the CD with Mason and myself. Bob Klotz mixed it. It should be a fun time.

We're also stopping over in Nashville to check out Bucky Baxter's recording studio with some folks we met from Allison Moorer's band. Sounds like it will be a great time.

We make our Athens, GA debut the next night and then head to Charlotte for what should be a great return to the Evening Muse.

It's been a wild change of events for my gig rig. I was using Wurly with Dawn, but trying to keep it in tune and less noisy I broke down and got some new gear. I decided to grab a Nord Electro. I've been extremely happy with it. Clavia makes such great gear that I also grabbed a Micro Modular for bass. If we ever get a bass player I'll have even more sounds for the arsenal.

Speaking of sounds, this tour marks the debut of a laptop as a sampler. I've loaded up some sounds in Kontakt and hopefully nothing will crash. So far it's pretty cool. I've been spending the day working out the kinks. I still think it's funny that the Hammond has only left the garage three times this year.

But that will change. Sometime this fall Todd Bartolo's CD will finally be released with a great band. I still haven't heard it, but a copy is on the way. In other recording news, Erin Condo's CD should be out soon and Isaac's is apparently going to be around Sunday.

That's what I've been up to. I also shaved off the goatee.

Ok, so it's not yet that dynamic, but here's the basic jist of the new site. There's plenty of work to be done. I need to find some new pictures for one. I shaved off that goatee, so I look a bit different now.

In the next few days I should have the website design portion of the site finished. Stay tuned.
