Hey everyone,

Just making these 2 things known.

I’ve recently been offered to play at a Starbucks in Lexington on a farely regular basis.  I’ll be doing both guitar/piano vocal things, as well as full nights of just piano solos there.  The only dowside is they don’t have their own PA system so I need to invest in one.  If anyone hears about a great deal on PA or has a friend selling/giving one away, be sure to let me know!

Also, wanted to make it known that I’d love to form a band again.  Playing with Edgewood Box a few years ago was an amazing experience and I was spoiled in getting the opportunity to share my music with such a talented group of guys.  I would like to have the chance to do that again.  Ideally, I’d like to get a 4 or 5 piece acoustic rock group together.  The obvious Bass/Drums and my rhythm instrument…but in addition 1 or 2 “lead instruments” such as guitar, sax, etc.  So, if you or anyone you know of would be interested and is in the Boston area, be sure to drop me a line.

Take care,

Jon

Was a great night last night.

Lot of friends, family, and other random people there to show their support.  Was very awesome to play for over and hour and a half and look up to see alot of familiar faces.

The people that opened for me…Chris Lizzi and Rick Macomber, also did a tremendous job.  Big thanks to them.

And of course a big thanks to Jeff and Justin who got there early, helped set up, and allowed me to use all of their stuff for the show, as well as my roomate Greg for helping me lug everything out there and back home.  Incredible people.

All in all, an amazing time. 

Catch ya soon,

Jon
