Happy New Year

Jan
Did I mention that yet? I s’pose not. So there you go. New stuff is coming in February, including two shows: a late-nite set February 3 in New York City, and Valentine’s Day at (where else?) Valentine’s in Albany. Both very different, but very cool gigs. The kind of themed, mix-it-up gig I really dig […]
The Business Review

From the Oct. 17 edition: It’s hard to imagine an artist more prepared for the evolving nature of the music industry than Bryan Thomas. The singer, songwriter, who works for New York State United Teachers by day, has used a variety of talents, from online business savvy to his design skills creating Web sites, and […]

Did someone at Metroland hear my whining about not having a pic (again!) on the Hidden City web site? Now I feel stupid. From this week’s Metroland. Photo Credit: Chris Shields. FASHION ROCKS.

Tess gets the last word in today’s Times Union: [Tess] Collins, the refreshingly blunt owner of Tess’ Lark Tavern in Albany, cares deeply for her customers; she loves to make them happy with food and drink.

That’s right. SPY LOVE BOX gets an official release July 30. Really. I’ll elaborate here in the coming weeks about why I’ve given up on the concept of “online-only” (for this record, anyway). For now, let’s just say that I’ve found a way to do both. A happy compromise. So be at the Lark on […]
