[Newsletter] World Cafe Live, Chicago, Midwest + More!

*Ahem*

Can i just say that fall is becoming one of my favorite times of the year?! This has nothing to do with The Fall Song. Or does it? I dunno. I'm so confused all of a sudden :)

Well, I just want to welcome all you new subscribers to this not-so-frequent newsletter. Thank you for signing up at a recent show or via the interwebs :) I've had a really exhausting but encouraging few weeks and you can check out some of the most recent "All or Nothing" blogs (left sidebar) for recaps and ponderings. Other than that, there's plenty to share...

WORLD CAFE LIVE - THIS SATURDAY!

This weekend, the band and I will be doing a big show at World Cafe Live in Wilmington, DE. If you're in Wilmington, Philadelphia, or surrounding, we really hope you'll make a night of it. Joining will be Jason Rafalak (upright bass), Ryan Socrates (drums), Peace Ike (hand percussion), Ian Rafalak (guitar), and then there's me :) // details

NOV 8 HOUSE SHOW? (Chicago or nearby)

I'll be on a week-long trip thru the midwest in just a few weeks. I still have one teeny tiny hole to fill in or near Chicago. You bring the friends, I'll bring the music. If interested, just let me know! Here's a house show FAQ.

NEW T-SHIRT - PICK YOUR FAVORITE LYRICS!

It feels like it's about time to print some new T-shirts. So I'm asking you to share with me your favorite lyrics from any of my song. If you have a line or phrase that you think needs to be on a T-shirt, tell me!!! If your set of lyrics get's printed, you'll get a FREE shirt!

These T-shirts will come out for the Christmas season. Hooray!

Hit reply to this email and let me know what you'd like to see on your chest! p.s. I Like Ike tees are still here to stay :)
