With The Chris Cyanide Bass Solo Project, 7Finesse, Serpentones, The Michael G Potter Experience, Tiny Pinecones, Jezo & The Element, Frank Wood & His NYC All Stars and The Mercury Agenda. Despite dodging and early afternoon rainfall and then another one in the early evening, Caranival 23 was a huge success. The band sounded fantastic blasting away in the secluded wooded property bordering Lake Ontario. I have to say this was the best we sounded of the three times we’ve played there. So much fun.

The Parkside Lounge
Crazy Mary’s 25th Anniversary
NY, NY
With The Cynz, Sea Monster, Tiny Pinecones, Rew Starr with Billy Ficca, Bill Popp, Gypsy Funk Squad and The David Peel Memorial Band. This show, which was part of The David Peel 420 Celebration was Crazy Mary’s actual 25th anniversary. Emma returned from Australia joining Zandrina and the boys for this and a series of shows celebrating the band’s anniversary. Hard to believe The Parkside Lounge a few blocks east of where we played our very first gig exactly 25 years earlier at Meow Mix but that’s where the similarity ends. Last night was a packed Thursday while 25 years ago we played to an empty room on a late Monday evening. Last night I saw friends so many people that we’ve met solely as a result of playing in Crazy Mary. Also it was a treat to play with friends’ bands that we’ve shared the stage with so many times before. A very special evening indeed.
