Quick Update

Hey all, it's been a while! Wanted to give a quick update.

June and July have been pretty busy music wise for me. A trip to Boise for two nights, Organic Brewfest, The Goodfoot and Mountainstomp. This Wednesday the 7th we open the Crystal Ballroom for The Wailers! Do not miss this show!

About three weeks ago Lia was offered the job at North Mason High School in Belfaire Washington! After two long and stressful years of job searching, she had finally found her dream job. This does however, mean some large changes for myself. Most importantly, we will be moving north out of Portland. This will mean the end of my tenure with the Phunkestra for the time being, though I am still hoping to play with them off and on in the future.

I'm pretty bummed about it, but I feel as though we have reached a good point so far, and that some time spent focusing on my own musical goals will be good for me. What has me excited is the opportunity to set up shop in our new house, build a studio, and meet some great musicians out of Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia.

My last show here in town will be the 30th of July at Jimmy Mak's. I cannot think of a better place to play. For our shows in-between check out the Phunkestra Myspace page.
