$3 Shows Benefiting Swan Songs

7/2/24
$3 SHOWS BENEFITING SWAN SONGS

Last year, I booked my first show with $3 Shows, but right before the event, for the first time, I finally got Covid and had to cancel that morning.
 
I am so grateful to $3 Shows for this opportunity to try this again. My first show will be August 17th at dadaLab in Austin, TX.
 
This is a benefit for a great organization called Swan Songs – Austin that organizes private concerts for individuals with a terminal illness or nearing the end of life.
 
I will also be doing some Pink Floyd covers with Psychedelic Breakfast. Plus Moonage Daydreams is playing some Bowie songs, Henry Invisible, Ben Buck, installations, an arts market and more! This looks like such an incredible event and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.
 
$3 tickets, plus VIP tickets, are on sale here: TICKETS.

It’s been a little over a year now that I have been playing with them and it has been filled with wonderful experiences and memories.

They have a lot more things in the works, so I hope you’ll follow them on whatever apps you like following bands on.

Here are the details for my last two shows with Dream 2 Dream:

Superdeterminism

6/14/24
SUPERDETERMINISM

I wrote and recorded this song.

It is called
SUPERDETERMINISM
💥

Did I decide to write it? Will you decide to listen to it or not? Is it possible that the feeling that I am making choices is just an illusion and all of our actions are actually caused by a series of predetermined variables?

HERE are the links to stream the song!

I am so happy to finally be able to share this! R3BEL has just released her debut single “Hurry, Hurry Up” and it is now out on the streaming apps you listen to music on. 🔊💥

The cover art and photo are by the incredibly talented Ismael Quintanilla III who I am also so grateful to for introducing us!

This song features some excellent lead guitar soloing by Brian Wolff, some fantastic harmonies from Noëlle Hampton of The Belle Sounds, the awesome mixing skills of Erik Wofford at Cacophony Recorders, and then Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering added the final touch with his mastering expertise. 🎶🎶🎶

I feel like we created something pretty cool here and it was such a fun experience getting to work with everyone involved.

By This River

9/9/22
BY THIS RIVER COVER

This is a cover of the song “By This River” from Brian Eno’s album Before and After Science, recorded and performed by me. Thank you Max Lorenzen for mastering this and formlessandforming for the artwork.
 
Here we are
Stuck by this river
You and I
Underneath a sky that’s ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came
I wonder why we came
You talk to me
As if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time
From another time

Listen here.

PLAINSONG COVER

My cover of “Plainsong” is now on the internet. I really enjoyed my time as a member of @perfectascatsss so much, performing all of those songs by @thecure, including some I had loved for years, and others that I had never heard before playing in this band, like “Plainsong.” I really love the awesome majestic sound of the keyboard parts and that inspired me to want to create this.

Thank you @lunar_gold, @mandolopez101, @julianchadwick, @joewiththenotes, @shawnpaulalvear, and @hamerzya_music for being such cool bandmates and letting me be a part of the band for the first few shows we played together, and thank you @ismaelquintanillaiii for the cover photo, and thank you @robertsmith and other band members for writing this wonderful song. You can hear my cover on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, YouTube, and I think most of the other streaming apps.
