Hey all,

So it's been a minute since I last thought to post on here. Haven't been doing much along the lines of public work in the music world. I've been just doing a lot of practicing lately. There are some really big shows/performances coming up really quickly that I need to be prepared for:

  1. As soon as the weather permits it, I will be covering an old Alton Ellis song with a friend. He recently hired me out to record the saxophone parts to the song "Rock Steady". For those of you (like me) who grew up listening to ska, this is a classic and simply a memorable piece. I haven't picked up a saxophone in some time so that's going to be a lot of fun. 
  2. Another event that I got hired out to do was a CD Release party for our good friends The Amboys. The party is going down on the 19th of this month and I honestly can't wait. Just from listening to the tracks they asked me to learn I can tell this album is going to do big things for them. If you're looking for something to do on a Friday night with some really cool people, this is the place to be. And if you're wondering where I mean by "this"... I'm talking about the Asbury Lanes!
  3. Though, these two are paled in importance when it comes to our own show on the February 20th. This is going to be my highlight of the month. Oh, and the final line-up has been officially decided:
    1. Foxes and Lions
    2. J'ac
    3. Midatlantic
    4. River City Extension
    5. Status Green!
So if you have no idea what to do with yourself next weekend... I can guarantee you will not regret coming out to either The Amboys' or Status Green's CD Release parties. Hope to see y'all there.

-Patrick
