Sensitive Chaos CD In Stores In Atlanta + Performance News
The Sensitive Chaos CD is out and available in the Atlanta area at Decatur CD (on Ponce just east of Watershed), Criminal Records in Little 5 Points (across from Sevenanda), and Aurora Coffee in Virginia-Highlands. It’s also available online from CD Baby.
The music is instrumental with touches of jazz, world, and down-tempo chillout. It works really well as background music when you’re working, studying, cooking, cleaning, or having conversations. Two songs feature beautiful soprano sax solos ala Jan Garbarek/John Klemmer from my friend Brian Good.
Copies have been sent to reviewers and radio, and the first feedback I received was an email from at reviewer at an influential trade magazine. He said, “I gotta tell you, I’m WAY impressed. The last time I heard something like this which blew me away to this degree was [back in 2004].” So hopefully the formal reviews will be as kind.
Many of you know I share hosting duties with Brad Jones at the weekly Aurora Coffee Songwriters Series, held each Saturday night at the Virginia-Highlands Aurora Coffee. Not only do we get to perform on the nights we host, but we also get to showcase some of the area’s best musicians in a small and intimate venue. We have performers (both individuals and bands) of all genre’s including folk, rock, jazz, blues, electronic, and other. The shows are free.
I host next on September 9th (with Blake Guthrie and Brett Schieber), and then in October on the 7th (with The Sublimator and the Buck Buckley Band) and 14th (with Jen Woodhouse and John McNicholas), so come out and see me perform and watch the other great performances, too. Also check out Brad Jones on the other Saturdays. His guitar work is divine! More info can be found at www.criminal.com
My other band TouchXtone is performing a free outdoor show on Friday night, September 22 at Agnes Scott College in front of the Bradley Observatory (on the south side of the campus). The show starts at 8pm and is being billed at an evening of space music under the stars. It’s likely the Observatory telescope will be open for tours and peering into space. Grab your blankets and come out.
And, finally, if you or anyone you know will be in the Phoenix or Sedona, Arizona area on Saturday, September 16, I’m performing as part of the Different Skies 2006 electronic music festival concert being held in the Arcosanti Amphitheater, about an hour north of Phoenix and a half hour south of Sedona. The show includes a gourmet dinner in the Arcosanti dining hall, and I believe a tour of the Arcosanti facility. More info is at www.arcosanti.org
