Thanks to everyone who made it out to Largo last weekend. For everyone else, here’s a short re-cap. It was quite a special night beginning with the comedic balladeering of Dave “Gruber” Allen AKA Todd Carlin AKA the other troubadour on the Gilmore Girls. Dave warmed up the mic and got the house rolling as always. Fiddler Eric Gorfain joined me for much of the evening, which included a lot of new stuff that we had never played together. New and unreleased songs like “Buried Treasure”, “It Ain’t The Same Old Cold War Harry” and “Little Moon” have become mainstays in my set these days. Keyboardist Patrick Warren dropped in to lay some great piano on three new songs, one of which called “Winterglow” will be digitally released near the holiday. (More about that as the release date becomes finalized) Largo legend Jon Brion joined in on the piano for several songs, inspiring an impromptu cover of David Bowie’s “Quicksand” and a rollicking duet of our co-written barn-burner “Walking Through Walls”. A personal highlight for me, singer Sam Phillips stepped up to perform her beautifully haunting song, “Reflecting Light”. It was a night fueled on a grilled cheese and onions rings courtesy of Norms, just a block or two down from Largo. Note – this will be my last solo show of the year. December will be spent on the road with Aimee Mann’s 3rd Annual Christmas Show. (see tour dates www.aimeemann.com/tour)
