Boston, Benefits, & Big Ideas
Myself & The Band will be performing at the annual Underpass Benefit Show. I figured I would allow Christine (Co-Owner of the Underpass) to give y'all a little background info on the nature of the benefit show. I copied this from a post off of The Underpass website:
This post goes out to Pop who asked the question about the benefit (and for anyone else who is new to us). My brother-in-law had the original vision for this bar and opened the doors 7 years ago. Sadly, he passed away 4 years ago however Ken and I, with alot of help from the amazing Joe Beets have kept the bar running. The $10 cover charge at the door is for Tommorrow Children's Fund. It is the organization that we had donations sent to when Paul passed away. It is a very worthy organization. The benefit is alot of fun so you should check it out. I'm glad to hear that there are new friends coming into our bar and we hope you and your friends continue to support us. Look forward to seeing you all at the benefit!!!
This year the benefit will take place on Sunday, November 21st. We perform at around 5PM, however, there are some great bands playing throughout the day so be sure to get there early!
Heading up to Boston next week to open a couple of shows for my friend and fellow songwriter James O'Brien (www.jamesobrien.cc). Some of you may remember James, as he opened up The Luna Stage gig for me back in October. Now I am heading up to return the favor. Just found out that after this stint I will return to Boston in February (22nd to be exact) to play Club Passim. Passim is a legendary venue, and it is certainly a thrill to be offered the gig.
I played the GEMS Music Conference this past Sunday. Playing music conferences is always a little odd because your performing mainly for other musicians. I did have a pretty good time playing, but I had a much better time hanging out in the back room. Myself, Jay, Alisa, George and friend Matty Z basically hijacked a room and spent the majority of our time laughing about different things. Guess you kinda had to be there. Anyway, there are a couple of very exciting things in the works as a result of the conference, so we'll have to see what happens!
Still getting lots of great response to the new album. Thank you all very much! Hey, if you get a chance and your so inclined, could you write a review of Further Down The Line at this website: http://cdbaby.com/cd/fitzpb4 Just scroll to the bottom of the page and post your thoughts, positive or negative. I would appreciate it very much, as it definitely helps to sell discs if there are some reviews on the page. And if you think a friend might be interested in my tunes, send 'em in the right direction for me. I want to be able to keep writing and recording songs for you all, but unfortunately it costs money, so it's important that I move as much product as possible. We've come this far together!
Thanks Everybody, and look forward to seeing you all real soon!
I am always appreciative!
