New disc up for funding on IndieGoGo

The new cd (Tragic Comedy) is in the works.  You can pre-order and help fund the record here: http://www.indiegogo.com/tragiccomedy

Featuring Richard Sellers on drums, Joey Carano and Jeff Miles on electric guitars, and Danny Weller on bass! We need your help getting the record out - I'm trying to raise money to get it pressed and pay copyright/licensing fees.

Cheers!
Ian

recording at Termite Studios

I had the pleasure of recording this weekend with drummer Nathan Hubbard; the band was Nazo Zakak on piano, Justin Grinnell on bass, and Lee Elderton on alto. The tracks were for some of Hubbard's various (and diverse) projects.

Termite is a studio setup in a large warehouse in San Marcos- actually a great sounding room.

When we're not recording, we're fighting fire...

I got to fill in for Gilbert Castellanos while he's on tour - had a great time with the house band!

jazz/bluegrass/acoustic podcast

In case you hadn't noticed, the PalmKeys blog is not active right now!

Just dropping in to let everyone know about the new podcast:

www.dirtythursdays.com

I'm hosting a weekly show featuring live performances and interviews with local San Diego artists.  The vibe is acoustic and intimate - soloists, duos, and trios playing their original music. We're featuring mostly jazz, as well as singer-songwriters, bluegrass, acoustic, indie, and, well, 'other'...

Tune in every Thursday for new episodes!

In other news:
My quartet (feat Joshua White, Rob Thorsen, and Brian McLaughlin) is playing at "Jazz at the Merc" in Temecula on April 7th. Drop in and have a listen!
