*Tremont After Party*
Not actually an after-party, but since Ryan is headlining Nightfall (he won
the road to nightfall competition) and I produced his most recent album,
I'm totally glomming onto his much-deserved success.

*Art of the Singer/Songwriter Alumni Showcase*
Over the last year or so, Trish Wileman and I have been shaping fledgling
songwriters in our "Art of the Singer/Songwriter" workshops. These have
ranged from true professionals who just need a little brushing up to people
who have never written a song before. It is our great privilege to show off
the sometimes hidden talent that this  town has.

In the late 90's to the mid-2000's I lived in Philadelphia with another
folk singer named Adam Brodsky. While not necessarily soul mates we were
kindred spirits who learned the art of the Singer/Songwriter together. Yet,
despite working the same circuit for nearly a decade we never toured
together. Well, now we are. Not in the Northeast dive bars, coffee shops
and listening rooms where we cut our teeth, learned our craft, and
eventually built a following. But in the midwest, where none of those
things happened ever.

Adam is a true iconoclast; fearless and one of a kind, and anything I
learned about holding an audience I learned from him. He's brash, fearless
and irreverent to anything you (or he) holds sacred. But he's also
charming, thoughtful, wise, and funny as hell. Adam Brodsky is one of the
most natural entertainers I've ever met. Period. He writes amazing songs
and holds a Guinness World Record (50 shows, 50 states in 50 days).

It's weird we never toured together before, but considering we spent 8
years in a crappy South Philly apartment trying to make each other laugh,
these are gonna be shows you don't want to miss.

P.S. That dark Thursday makes my OCD go off the charts, so if there's
anyone out there who wants to put together a house concert in Indiana,
Southeastern Illinois or Ohio, please get in touch with us.

Those shows again…
