Help For A Brother Orphan!

Those of you who caught the Blackstone show on 10/24 or who have listened to the studio recording of "Parisian Cafe Princess" have been privy to the bass playing groove machine that is Ron Pacheco. For a peek at what else Ron is up to swing by and drop him a line at www.pachecobass.com where you can check out some of his solo recordings and keep up with his endeavors with Octopus Triangle.
Be Well,

Cloud 9

I'm not even sure where else I can start describing the events of this evening other than with the phrase, "Holy crap." The Blackstone show tonight was perhaps one of the most sublime and outstanding moments in my musical existence. If I had to use one word to describe the whole experience it would have to be "Honest." I'm not sure playing anything has ever felt as right as tonight did and that's likely because I wasn't trying to be anything at all; I was just playing some songs I'd written as myself. Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure all the material would gel as a three-piece, let alone end up being as well received as it was (right down to discussing rebooking while we were packing up). It really was an honor to play once more with Chambo on 2 and 4 (read: Adam Chamberlain on drums) and Ron Pacheco on his tasty 7 string bass. I'm not even sure I will sleep at all tonight after the tasty grooves, improvised solos, and heartfelt energy that went into the gig but it is my hope that should I actually get some shut-eye that I might get a glimpse at something new to work on that may or may not take shape before our next show at Cafe Zog in Providence on November 13. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us but if you didn't make it we'll see you next time.
Peace and Music,
Kev

Come on out this weekend!

Join me for an evening of "Hello, goodbye" this Saturday, October 24 as I premiere my adventures in songwriting with the Invisible Orphans behind me instead of playing solo this weekend at the Blackstone in Pawtucket, RI. Tevellus will take the stage thereafter and will feature dancing by the lovely Ms. Fury (yeah, the same one from the song). This is slated to be my last performance on the bass with Hemlok as well so don't miss it.
