US & UK tour dates comin' up
Hi all,
Writing to you from my cabin in Tofino, BC. Hope everyone's having a good fall. I've been chopping wood, practicing bass, teaching piano to little kids, surfing, mushroom picking & working out logistics for next month - see below!

2. I made my album Secret Admirer into a CD. I was on the fence about making CDs.... who even buys 'em? Isn't it wasteful? Do I really want to get these made, sell a handful and then schlep boxes of them around the rest of my life? Turns out yes, I do. Mariel Vandersteel designed it - highly recommend! Her company is called Sirkel Sirkel. The cover art is by Jeremy Herrmann; he makes such weird wonderful stuff.
If you'd like one, or ten (give to yr friends!) you can order it here.
3. I put up a couple videos on Youtube from a live-stream I did last spring in Victoria, at my high school sax teacher's house. I got Sam Tudor to edit these for me... thanks Sam! The songs are Firefly, from Secret Admirer, and this new song Light Under the Door which will be on my new album.
That's all for now, thanks for reading -- maybe see you out there?

p.s. Fans of the late great drummer Paul Motian - there is a new documentary out about his life, called Motian in Motion. It's on Vimeo. And this is so bizarre, but me 'n Taylor Ashton make a split second cameo in it - busking in Central Park! (I miss busking with you Taylor!)
p.p.s. interested in upright bass lessons? or getting some as a present for someone in your life? My bass course over on Peghead Nation is geared towards beginners. It goes through some simple country and folk songs, then gets into a few easy jazz standards. Also some Roches, Talking Heads and Mary Margaret O'Hara thrown in for good measure.
p.p.p.s. My musical alma mater, Della Mae, put out a new album recently, called Family Reunion. It's so good! it's grassy and driving and the lyrics are bright and alive and fun and heartbreaking... all the things.
