Performing Saturday night at Otto’s Shrunken Head

It’s been a little while since I’ve performed at a club. You can find me performing Saturday night, July 2nd, at Otto’s Shrunken Head in the East Village NYC. I’ll be playing percussion with Willie and the Wolves. (So I guess that makes me a wolf). It’s the release party for the album I recorded with the group. You can hear some of it on Reverbnation.

Willie (William Beaufort) is using Kickstarter to fund the production of the album. The album is made up of old and new original compositions with all NYC based musicians. Please consider contributing.

Otto’s Shrunken Head
Saturday, July 2nd, 7:30 PM
538 East 14th Street, New York, NY

Willie and the Wolves combine steamy Latin grooves, red hot R&B, jumpin’ jivin’ swing and (yes) a side order of waving-riding surf rock into a entertaining mix sure to delight (dazzle, even)

I’ll be playing drums tomorrow night with Katie Petterle at the Metropolitan Room.

Katie Petterle debuts with a brand new show! Singing the greatest pop rock songs from the last 50 years, Katie and her accompanist, Greg Schlotthauer, sing favorites from the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley, Carol King and more!

Kate Petterle grew up performing in theatres all over the Sacramento area. She attended The Boston Conservatory on a merit scholarship and moved to New York after graduating in 2001. She has been heard on TV singing the theme

song for the Saturday morning cartoon “Fighting Foodons” and on promotional ads for FOX’s Saturday morning cartoon lineup. Kate has also lent her voice to a number of characters on “Pokemon”. She is most proud of singing with The Boston Pops conducted by Keith Lockhart and recording music in Paris with popular jazz pianist Franc Monbaylet. Recently she was lucky enough to perform on California’s Central Coast with the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts. Favorite roles included Marta in “Company”, Hattie in “Kiss Me Kate” and various characters in “Urinetown”

Played drums for the reading of Plagued last night

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 | Posted In Performances • Theater

Last night at the Kirk Theater in Theater Row, I played drums for the reading of the musical Plagued or How to Escape Persecution at the Hands of an Angry Mob.

View Program

Book and lyrics by Daniel John Kelley

Music by Nick Moore

Music Director & Accompanist: Matt Vinson

Director: Peter James Cook

From the book and lyrics writer’s website:

So…the reading of PLAGUED happened Monday night, and boy howdy, was I proud. The show is in great shape- there’s still work to be done, but it’s a giant leap from where we were back in July. We had a great turn out, and the cast gave it all they had, and now we proceed onwards.
