192kbps (gap-free) mp3s from my Sea of Clouds solo album release show at Rockwood Music Hall on 17 August 2009... not sure exactly what got into me, but I was particularly chatty... I've made sure to isolate all of the songs onto their own tracks so you need not put up with this chatty chap if you wish not to.

Guests include Brian Collazo of Live Society on "Get Yourself Together," and Dave Pittenger playing piano on "Hide in Me."

Bitter End 12 January 2009

192kbps (and gap-free no-less!) mp3s from our show at the Bitter End on 12 January 2009, with guests galore!... Mart on acoustic and vocals, Craig Meyer on the drums, Brian Killeen on bass (and backing vocals!), Eric Katerle on electric guitar, newest band member Chris Kuffner on electric guitar... as for the guests!: Ryan Vaughn sits in on percussion; Daniel Weiss sits in on organ/electric piano; Sir Chuck Hancock, saxophone on "Get Yourself Together" and "Glorious"; Kailin Garrity, Rachel Platten, and Dave Pittenger, guest vocalists on "Eclipse"; Sarah Versprille, guest vocalist on "North"; Kailin Garrity, guest vocalist on "Hope".

'Twas an awful lot of fun; we're real psyched to have Chris back on as a permanent member (when he's in town, of course :) ), and we're glad to say that both Ryan and Daniel will be back with us for our upcoming February 9 Bitter End show, when we appear together with the fantastic Jill Stevenson Band!
