Truly a night to remember… Philly area friends, please mark your calendars for our show at THE GRAPE ROOM in Philadelphia on Friday, Feb 24th, w/ Meg Wilkinson and The Workmen on the bill as well.

We’ve finally begun work on a documentary about immigration and music I’m co-producing with my publicist, Anne Leighton. It’s called “Becoming American.” Just did an interview with Jim Babjak of The Smithereens, there’s a pic from the shoot on my Facebook.

Finally, check out some videos from December’s full band show at Rockwood Stage 2 in NYC below…

See you on the road!!
