[Newsletter] Moving Away, Free Pittsburgh Show TONIGHT, July Band Tour

Dear friends!

Happy July to you! I hope your 4th was wonderful and full of fireworks, celebration, and relaxation. This month is an exciting one for me because it incudes a week-long tour with my band (yes!) and alot of transition. So I'm going to get right to it...

LEAVING PITTSBURGH

It's with a bit of sadness and a lot of anticipation and excitement that I announce that I will be moving to Philadelphia at the end of this Summer. The decision is one that took alot of time to make but it's something I decided a few months ago. There's alot to say - so much i am looking forward, but so much I will miss. I wrote a fairly lengthy blog about it so I hope you will read it and get a better idea of what the future looks like from my perspective. READ

If you are in Pittsburgh, I have two final shows that I really hope you will come to - to say goodbye and to celebrate new beginnings. Both are free and both are band shows!
TONIGHT: City of Asylum Street Concert in the Mexican War Streets (North Side)

AUG 21: Rodef Shalom Garden Party! (East End)

JULY TOUR WITH THE BAND!

I can't tell you how pumped I am for this upcoming trip. Peace will be joining me on percussion for July 11 and 12 and my band will be joining me for all remaining shows!! Touring is so much more fun when you can do it with other people! It will be fun to actually share with you all those extra sounds I hear in my head when I'm playing solo :)
