thanks to the lovely quinn strassel my song “papa don’t worry” will be on npr today! i played the newport folk festival earlier this month and quinn introduced me to the team of npr folks that stationed themselves by the mid sized tent to watch jakob dylan, she and him, jim james, cat power and more.

i basically stationed myself there as well! it was a great line up! it started to rain in the middle of she and him and it made the show that much better. when i say rain.. i mean pouring rain.. people were soaked! it was great!

so we are going to drive up to newport tonight for the folk festival… we are borrowing our friend’s van which is HUGE so it should be a nice ride! last time we all piled into a van it was so tiny that people were stuck in one position for 3 hours because if they moved it would have been disastrous. we have been working on some new songs for the last little while and are excited to play them tomorrow. we are playing at 11:30 on the waterside stage.

just to let you know.. we are about half way done with a new album… i’m not sure exactly when it will be released but there will be some new music up on my ourstage and myspace pages so you should check it out! ill keep you posted on any other updates! take care

i spent the day in central park first at a section that reminded me of the tuileries then i ventured through making random lefts and rights until i came across the children’s zoo. i stayed there for an hour or so until i continued my way through the park. i decided to pick up a salted pretzel and then while i was walking with my delicious pretzel i stumbled across a woman playing with puppets crowded around by 20 or so kids. i took my seat among them and watched a ballerina dance and a magician pull flowers out of his miniature hat. it was magnificent. after the amazing entertainment i walked a little further until i sat on a park bench where a man was playing fairy tale and children’s songs on the accordion…

be well!!! it is spring time!!! finally!!! it’s been really beautiful here in new york!

so we just got back this morning from baltimore! we had so much fun playing with kaki king.. it started wednesday night at the bowery ballroom, then we rented a van and drove to philadelphia where we played at the world cafe live, slept in a really dirty motel (i mean really dirty… won’t go into details), drove to baltimore to play at the 8X10 and then drove back to new york. we arrived in baltimore a few hours before sound check so we walked around and came across a magic store.. we had to go in! we hung out with the owner and his son who performs the magic! it was awesome!!

so for now we have two more gigs this month at the rockwood music hall this thursday and next thursday at 8!! i love this venue so i am really excited about it! maybe see some of you guys there!
