What I Did On My Summer Vaction

Nothing worse than someone with a blog who never posts. But, man have I been busy. Here are some highlights from July and August.

Played the Prospect Park bandshell twice! First with The Sweet Divines:


And second with Naomi Shelton and The Gospel Queens:



Did some recording at Seaside Lounge with Cici James. Hopefully it will get released soon...but sometimes these things take a while I know. It was a blast do to -- we did all the takes live with minimal micing which really added to the excitement. JB Flatt, Al Street, and Brian Wolfe. What a band!


And then played a few fun Ambulance LTD shows:

Did a run of shows with Ali Hoffman:


and to top off the summer, played a triple bill with The Sweet Divines, Maxine Brown, and Otis Clay! It was all part of the Brooklyn Soul Fest:






Here's a vintage clip of Otis Clay doing "Trying To Live My Life Without You" on Soul Train, 1972 (which we also got to play at the Soul Fest).
