This Sunday I’m playing an improvised lap steel set as part of Sound Church. It’s a matinee show at @gracesplacect Meriden, CT hosted by and also playing @magik_press Baron Von Elsa with Nahadoth and Thom Uliasz.

This Thurs I’m collaborating with a whole bunch of CT songwriters to play on each others’ tunes as The CT Hope Collective at The Social in New London, CT to benefit the New London Homeless Hospitality Center. It’s going to be a really special show. When else will you see me do a glockenspiel solo?

Last night’s Halloween Hangover music and drag show at 33 Golden St. in New London hosted by Lucy Cigarettes was one to remember. The energy of the crowd was amazing. I went for a Frank Iero circa 2004 look, and I played a Les Paul Special instead of the Mustang. I liiiiiked it a lot.

Y’all…I have a free outdoor gig tonight with the full band in Cheshire, CT at Ball and Socket Arts. Bring a picnic and hang out in a parking lot with us? The Sawtelles, our forever ride-or-die pals open. I’m pretty sure there’s a pizza place nearby so pie picnic sounds pretty dang good.

No spoilers but if you want to see which vintage H Bar C shirt I wear to Sunday’s Gram Parsons tribute show come to Cafe Nine in New Haven, CT. Show starts at 4 pm with a cavalcade of cosmic stars…

To be clear: today's ruling doesn't make it less likely your child is trans, which is the whole objective of the anti-trans movement: fewer trans children by any means. It only makes it far less likely your child has access to lifesaving medical care if they're trans, which has never been a choice.
