New & Upcoming Work
WELL. A whole lot of life has happened (moving, separation, job changes, family stuff) and I haven't been great about updating this site.
Shows coming up, music:
Solo sets at State & Lake Tavern, November 30; W City Center, December 10; State & Lake again, December 14.
The Unswept at Des Plaines Theater, January 14.
The Baguettes at Aloft Holiday Market, December 15, and the Burlington Bar, January 17.
Shows coming up, not music:
I'm joining the hilarious folks of Redacted for staged readings of The Muppet Christmas Carol, November 25 and December 10, at the Music Box Lounge.
Current Projects
The Baguettes are still recording; the albums are still Posthistoric and a twangier companion EP, Backroads.
I continue to work on the Arctic writing. I've finally finished the ghost story/essay. There are poems to revise, and I don't have the first clue how to approach that work. Some photos remain on the blog.
There's a fair bit of nonfiction I want to write—much of it about books and reading—and I may just do it on the blog here. Would anyone be into that?
Visual art has been a haven this year. I've been going to the Grotesque Burlesque figure drawing sessions at Wayward Arts, and I'm starting to think about another illustration project. I learned some basic screen printing this summer, too, and turned that into band T-shirts (many of which are still available).
Recent Stuff
I played another set on bass for Brad Bru & the Crowd Goes Wild, this time at the Montrose Saloon.
I played in the pit band for the Factory Theater's production of Stabbed in the Heart, a new teen-slasher musical.
Wayward Arts put up an Exquisite Corpse exhibit for the Ravenswood Art Walk, and I was very excited to have a painting in it.
