Hey, how's it going?

So you may have heard I have a new CD out called Welcome to the Fellowship.  And now it's time to throw a party and you are invited...

It's going down this Tuesday, November 20th, at Evangeline's Bistro and Music House in St. Louis!  Music starts at 7pm with COCOMOFO from NYC.  And then I will be hitting the stage at 845pm.  And I have a few special guests that will be there with me!

We are doing the songs live - NO TRACKS!  I'll be on the piano and my man Steve Lord will be on the drums.  Chela Mancuso from Crystal Lady will be there to perform The Mess Around with me.  Trumpet great Jim Manley will be in the house to sit in on a few tunes.  And I just confirmed that Russ Mohr (Co-founder of my old band LP Outsiders) will be in the building!  He'll be sitting in and we are bringing back some LPO classics! This is the first time we have performed together in years and for sure the first time we have played these songs together since the LPO days!

This is going to be epic. You don't want to miss it!

Hope to see you there!
