CD Release Shows!!

Posted in Uncategorized on 02/23/2010 12:54 am by admin

Hello hello!

So I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. Bad Jamie, bad bad bad. I promise to be better in the next few weeks/months. Anyway, I’ve got tons of great news/updates, but the most important of all involves the release of my debut album Neoteny. It’s going to be in my hands on March 4th, just in time for the first of three awesome CD Release shows! “Wait, CD Release shows you say?” Why yes, they’ve all been confirmed, and here they are…

Saturday March 6th, The Midway Café, Boston MA, 9:30pm
Friday April 2nd, A.P.E. Gallery, Northampton MA, 8pm
Saturday April 17th, The Bitter End, NYC, 8pm

These three shows are basically set to be the three most important shows I’ve ever played. With that in mind, I could truly use every bit of support from you all. I.e. if there was ever a show you were going to come to, please please make it one (or all) of these! The Boston show will be with another local band called Melodeego (they actually got me the gig). The Northampton show will involve live visual art in response to the band, and will also be a benefit show for the Northampton Education Foundation. Lastly, The Bitter End, well, is The Bitter End. One of NYC’s best clubs gave me a Saturday for this release, so let’s make it rock. All in all, each venue is giving me a huge opportunity and taking a (theoretical) risk on me, so let’s pack each place and show them we mean business.

I’ve also just been booking a ton of shows on top of these, so to get the whole rundown (or get directions to any venue), check out my Shows page.

After the Boston CD Release show on March 6th, the album will become available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, and well, all those good places. Pretty exciting, ey???

Lastly, I just got in some amazing hand silk screened t-shirts; if you’re in the Collective, expect one in the mail shortly, if not, let me know if you want one and we’ll make it happen (email is a great way to contact me)!

Thanks again to everyone for your support so far. It’s about to get really awesome. Ready?

Love,
Jamie

  1. well, i am reading your blog,and commmenting,even though no one else is – i am home sick (work at umass) – i see you will be there soon at 5 pm, but no location is given – where will you be? – i have yet to see you but may drop by the side street cafe, and most likely the ape gallery (i want a cd – i am an addict of music, local talent, up and coming talent, music,and did i say music?) – i watched a couple of your videos, and read other things you wrote on your web site – until i see you perform, i wont really know who and what you are – since i am a hell of a lot older than you are, i think i can get away with a small bit of advice – something i am rather good at it seems – and it would be, dont try too hard to be cool, kooky, or whatever – just be yourself – i know thats much easier to accomplish when you are singing and playing rather than writing, but just be you –
    dont know who all you might know around here, but i am a big fan of seth glier and also naia kete, and sonya kitchell, and not to forget susan angeletti – stewart james as well – not so local, i got turned on to barefoot truth thanks to naia’s giving me a copy of the ep she did with them – one of the best sound experiences i have had in a long time – my favorite type of music is blues, and i guess you would call it upbeat blues (danceable) – but i like most forms of music and have been getting fonder and fonder of sounds like yours – ah – another one, not local but not far, david berkeley,and also luke brindley (further away) – so much up and coming talent out there – i am assuming you will become another favorite of mine – hope you wind up at the iron horse – i live in hadley, 4 miles from the bridge, so am a frequent offender at the IH and also have been to pearl street, where i put on my college student hat of years ago, and felt right at home –
    i have given you enough to read – i look forward to hearing you and the cd!!!! congratulations on it

  2. i just joined the Collective – sorry my donation couldnt be larger – but i do what i can – i try to help too many people i guess! anyway, on rethinking it, my favorite songs of yours (the form asks for this) are actually Ama San and Bonofasitch, not Isabella, which is what i put on the form – i like all of your songs though – so its a tough choice –
    thought you might want to know
