Since 2008, I've been collaborating with composer/pedal
steel maniac Joel Pickard on an original score for a
new dance work by choreographer Emily
Johnson entitled The Thank-you
Bar. The world premiere ran in October 2009
at OutNorth Alaska, in Anchorage, followed by shows at
Bunnell St Gallery in Homer, AK. Joel and I are touring nationally with
the piece and performing our score live. Our next TYB shows will be part
of the New Genre Festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 5 & 6,
presented by Living
Arts Tulsa. We'll also be performing a series of companion
concerts as BLACKFISH -
improvised duet installations - in each city we tour the Thank-you Bar.
Our first such concert took place in Tallahassee in February, and we've
released it as our first CD: BLACKFISH 1:
Tallahassee. In Tulsa, our BLACKFISH concerts will take place
Sat March 6 and Sun March 7. At those shows we will celebrate the release
of our second CD, BLACKFISH 2: Homer, recorded during
our Alaska premiere tour last fall. Norway Twin, my new project with Ryan and Jessie from the Roma Di Luna band, is on yet another baby hiatus...oh well..

The Capture! dance film series continues with another CAPTURE!RAMA dance film mashup scheduled for Spring 2010 at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theatre. I co-host and co-curate Capture! with choreographer Emily Johnson from Catalyst dance. "CAPTURE!RAMA" is a new live performance/film hybrid format that we debuted in May 2007 to rave reviews. Five groups perform and shoot five short dance films on and around the BLBT stage, using one camera, one tape, and only in-camera edits. after all five films have been shot, we rewind the tape and view them all on the big screen, followed by panel discussion and Q & A. It is a good time. Interested participants can contact us through this site. All-Ages. 7:30pm doors 8pm show. My latest solo album, entitled PARADE, is available through the Firetrunk Records website or local independent record stores (Electric Fetus (easy online ordering), Cheapo, Know Name). Soon it will be available through most download sites. My sister Mary's debut album, Little Things, was released simultaneously, and is also available through Firetrunk.
