Greetings, Friends and Fans!

It's March, and you should know what that means: four or more shows a weekend for me all over the map- Boston, Maine, Providence, Holyoke... I'll cover everything in this mailing, but because your eyes will glaze over reading it all I will also send out a mid-month reminder.

To start, you can catch me on this month's cover of the Boston rock fanzine The Noise - it's a special online-only edition this month, so you can read the story as well.

I'm actually having to skip a couple of Gobshites shows this weekend due to day job needs (did we really need to move Daylight Savings Time?!), but there are plenty more, as well as ones with my other bands:

• Thursday March 1: Somerville MA - Los Hijos Unicos at PA's Lounge, 345 Somerville Ave (Union Sq). 18+ $7 Headlining ~11:30pm, also appearing: Brother/Sister, Sam Wheeler, Treehorn

• Friday March 30: Holyoke MA - The Gobshites at Paper City Brewery, 108 Cabot St, and then moving to Brennan's Place.

If you're not near any of these shows, you can hear me in other ways:

• There will be a new Gobshites CD out any day now - you can pre-order it here.
• Two instrumental pieces I've recorded with composer/pianist Sharon Crumrine can be heard on her MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/sharoncrumrinemusic
• The first song now playing on the Rev. Bob & the Darkness website player was remixed to include me and other new band members, and is included on a compilation CD just released by the Great Boston Burlesque Exposition.
• and I'll be working on more recordings later this month with band Big Amp Envy and composer Jeff Washer

As always, check the schedule on my website for the latest information (and probably more show dates before St. Patrick's weekend!)

Cheers,
