About a week ago, I finished working on some web graphics and flyers to promote some upcoming shows by my good friend, singer-songwriter Christian Beach. Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to post them here or on MySpace so they haven’t been put to good promotional use yet.
Well, I am hoping to rectify that with the following posts.

Hello, all! This is just a quick post to say that I have just returned from a brief vacation in Texas. My girlfriend and I spent an extended weekend in the San Antonio and Austin areas. We were able to take in some of Fiesta, which began last weekend in San Antonio and runs through April 27. Also, we were able to spend a day in Austin, where we went on a tour of the Texas State Capitol, watched hundreds of thousands of bats fly out — a nightly ritual — from their summer home under the Congress Street Bridge, and saw Mike Doughty’s Band at Antone’s on 5th Street.
I’ll have some photos and videos from the trip on the ol’ blog for you at some point in the near future.
However, now that I am back in New Jersey, I would also like to share some news about my good friend, singer-songwriter Christian Beach. Christian is playing the Writers in Raritan Showcase tonight at DeCicco’s (10 Anderson St., Raritan, NJ 08869, Map). He will be taking the stage around 9:25 p.m.
But that’s not all! Christian has a bevy of shows coming up over the next few weeks. Here is a listing:

Finally, here is video of Christian and his ad-hoc backing band performing David Bowie’s “Five Years” at the Main Man Records Showcase/Record Release Party for “Hero: The Main Man Records Tribute to David Bowie” held at The Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ, on March 28, 2008 (because of potential setup problems with the 1970s Yamaha organ Christian usually brings to the gigs, I instead played a cheesy organ sound on my Alesis QS 6.1 synthesizer for this show). Enjoy!
So I just realized the fun that is YouTube playlists…yeah, I know…a little late for a geek like me to figure that out. Anyway, here is a playlist of every performance by my friend, singer-songwriter Christian Beach, that can be found on YouTube. Enjoy!
Just a quick announcement…I will be playing organ and tambourine as part of Christian Beach’s backing band when he plays a four-song set at The Brighton Bar (121 Brighton Ave.) in Long Branch, N.J., this Friday night, March 28. The performance is part of Main Man Records’ CD release party for “Hero: The Main Man Records Tribute to David Bowie.” Christian recorded a cover of Bowie’s “Five Years” for the 2-CD set.
Actually, if you check out Main Man’s MySpace site, Christian’s “Five Years” (listed as “5 Years”) can be found on their music player so give it a listen.
Again, here is the info:

Here’s another video from Christian Beach’s Feb. 2 performance at Paul’s Tavern in Lake Como, N.J. This is “Song for Matthew” and — although unseen — I am playing tambourine and organ on this one.
I am playing accordion in this video of Christian Beach’s performance of “Open Spaces” at Paul’s Tavern in Lake Como, N.J., on Feb. 2, 2008.
Christian Beach – “Poet of the Great Plains” (Live at Paul’s Tavern, 2/2/08)
Found this video of “Poet of the Great Plains” from Christian Beach’s 2/2/08 show at Paul’s Tavern in Lake Como (formerly S. Belmar), NJ. I am rockin’ the tambourine and organ in this one (you won’t see me until about 1:03 into the clip).
