The Sora Ocean Music Festival was a great success! Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Below are a few pictures from the event.

After an amazing year long adventure in Japan, I’ve made it safely back to Brooklyn. I’m playing a couple shows this weekend in New York with some great musicians. Saturday July 10th I’ll be playing with Automatic Children, NolenNiu-de-Ossi, Athena Reich, Kristi Martel and more at Crash Mansion (199 Bowery, LES, Manhattan).  Music starts around 9:00 pm, I’ll take the stage around 10:30 pm. The following day (Sunday July 11th) NolenNiu-de-Ossi and I will be playing again at Sidewalk Cafe (94 Avenue A, East Village, Manhattan) at 9:00 pm. See you there!
