Kamikazes in Brooklyn!  Only 4 months since the last gig – unheard of…

Love Labs, 58 N 6th St, Brooklyn, New York.   8.30pm, Jan. 27th, 2024.

Opening set from Frank London Quartet, 7pm.

It’s been a long time – pre-Covid, I think – since I did a “singing” gig, and even longer since this quartet played.  Lethe is the perfect place for this – intimate, warm, great piano, great vibe….

GL, vox, piano, bari uke, accordion;  Doug Wieselman, clarinets, guitar; Charlie Burnham, violin; Marika Hughes, cello

I’m thrilled to have my music played on the island by these exceptional players, Nov. 17-20.  Two performances in the Teatro Principal in Mahon, a jewel of an opera house (the first ever built in Spain, in 1829), and two in the Teatro des Born in Ciutadella.  Based very loosely on the book by Angela Carter, I adapted parts of my original full orchestral score for nine of the OCIM players – a small ensemble as they shared the stage with a trapeze artist and a clown with a giant wheel and several ladders! (Hotel Iocandi, fabulous performers)..It’s been a joy working with them all.

another year…

The “annual” reunion this year will be at Lethe Lounge, at 618 W 113th St on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Thursday Sept 7th at 8pm. It’ll be a tight fit, but great acoustics and a great hang. Some old music, some new music, some deep listening… Looking forward to seeing y’all…
