I just returned from a long weekend in Anaheim at the NAMM show. I met up with my pals at Telefunken Elektroakustik and Gorilla Ears, I and made a few new connections.
All good stuff. Here’s to 2015.

New Year’s Eve Jazz at the Mirage
I’m a little late with this post but I’ve been traveling.
On New Year’s Eve the Las Vegas Jazz Trio featuring Kai Brant played the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. We were in the High Limit Lounge, where customers tip you in poker chips.
The ride there was an adventure, as we had a rare high-desert snowstorm.

Dweebalicious CD-Release Party, with Jaelyn Denise
On Sunday, December 14, we held a CD-release party to celebrate Jaelyn Denise‘s Dweebalicious. We performed the record in its entirety at the E-String in Henderson, Nevada. Jaelyn is a seriously talented singer-songwriter. She’s an amazing vocalist, and I always enjoy playing her songs. Michael Cremean produced Dweebalicious for Sevensmokes Music. We recorded with engineer Josh Connolly at Audio Mix House—formerly Odds On Recording—also in Henderson.
