And on my baby-steps path to being a solo act, I’m starting a duo with my pal Lee. You may know him from such past MusicalSchizo musical experiences as “The Extractors” and “Roman Holiday”, and if you know him from there, you know he’s a drummer and singer.

But if you really knew him, you’d know he’s a guitarist, too! So Lee and I are starting a crazy duo that will have us playing various instruments (he guitar, percussion (cajon, etc), and singing…me guitar, bass, maybe some foot percussion and singing). We will have a relatively atypical but still very pop-oriented song selection (choosing songs people don’t tend to play). And we will bring the acoustic rock.

It should be a lot of fun once we get it off the ground, and I’m going to exploit some of my new contacts to book shows for this group in addition to the shows I’m planning on trying to get for the full Roman Holiday (because it’s been too damn long since that band’s been playing). Maybe since this is 2/3rds of Roman Holiday, we can call it “Tooth Herds” or something punny like that. I guess we’ll see.

GIG ALERT: ATM (Audio Time Machine) is playing on April 23rd and May 14th. So that’s nice. 🙂

And that’s the update. Have a happy St. Patrick’s Day!
