New CD on the way

My new CD, "Catch the Squirrel" will be out this May. CD release parties will be scheduled for Bloomsburg and Danville in late May.

For the first time I will have full artwork, thanks to Adam Lunger who was selected from ten submissions of very talented artists from Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.

I'm very pleased with this collection of songs, and I think that fans will be too. It includes some of my best blues-influenced stuff, a cover from Tom Waits and some of my more topical material. It was loads of fun to record, and I think it shows.

Spectrum Magazine will be featuring the Bengal Assoc in their May issue, just in time for Noboborsho on May 6th at Bloomsburg Town Park.

In early March I had the privilege to work in BTE's space for a show with Tribe1 (as sound man). Great group and great vibe. Speaking of theatres, the BU Alumni cast is planning their next murder mystery. If you are a local community actor and would like to get involved, let us know.

A brief appearance with Tom Dennehy in February in Danville prompted us to do a show at Sakuntala where we could explore some things. Sadly, Bulu was unable to make it, but we had a lot of fun exploring Irish drinking songs at an Indian restaurant. There probably should be laws against what we did, but now it's done.

I've been busy with Jonah Walters and the cast of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at Greenwood Friends producing their cast recording. We'll mix most of the tracks this weekend, and go back for another session some time in April. Jonah is also working on some of his original stuff.

YouTube experiments continue. It's like MTV all over again. I'm hopeful for the Spring and some sun so I can get out to find some squirrels for what may be my first complete music video. More on that later.
