This past Saturday, I opened my show at the Vagabond Cafe with “Just One,” off of Glutton’s Dozen. It hadn’t been in the sets for a while, and had popped out during a practice last week, so out it came. It went well, and will probably show up some more, so I wanna talk about…
…So if you didn’t stumble across my facebook posts this past Friday, go check them out for the full effect, but in bite-size form, what happened is I took a Megabus with a truly remarkable person, whom I found out about because his habits were so strange as to be facebook-worthy. I took snipe-shots of…
Have you ever wanted to see me play for a half-hour, five years ago? YOU CAN.
This is a placeholder post, because I have a lot more that I want to say on the subject of this song, but if you are coming to this page because you’re at the Misophonia conference in Mesa, AZ, you’ll want to be directly linked to the song, available at the following URL: http://paultab.bandcamp.com/track/misophone Thanks!…
The Scratcher Bar is a quaint Irish pub, and a place that I wanted to get in on early on in my time in NYC, back when I was overzealous and up everybody’s wahoos all the time about playing everywhere all the time. I asked Brendan for a gig kind of not expecting to hear…
I understand now why people do the 25-ticket buy to do the big-stage shows: Because they are fucking awesome. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt a half hour breeze by as quickly as the one that I got to play for last night did, but it was amazing. The soundguys were true professionals, the…
These last few weeks of being a ticket-selling machine have been weird for me — few things feel further from what I like doing with my music than hounding people for money (I know it’s going to be worth it, I’m just saying) — so it was nice last night to be able to just…
I’m opening for Rusted Root on January 1st , at Stage 48! I have a lot of intimate involvement with this group, to the point that I tend to think of them more as friends and peers than as Big Honkin’ Rock Stars, so it’s going to be great to start the year off with…
I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be playing at the National Underground a week from this Wednesday from 7:00-9:00 pm. The National Underground, owned by Gavin and Joey DeGraw, was the first club to give me a weekly spot when I moved here in 2008. It was a magical thing to have had a Saturday…
One of my favorite treats at a show or open mic is a good, heartfelt cover. Ryan Morgan springs immediately to mind, as he tends to cover people we both know, and every time he does it it’s disarming and awesome. When I first met him, Niall Connolly used to do an awesome cover of…
