The Wabash Cafe

I promised a little something from the shoot, and than only shared on Facebook. For anyone who doesn’t traverse “The Social Network”…

So that I don’t eat up the whole blog, I’ll put a link up later to the rest of the photos. As I’ve said before, and you’ll keep hearing me say it, Kymberlie Birkenkamp is simply amazing. Check out her blog at Misfit Hue Photography. Also, be sure to check out “blink – a closing reception”, where you can see some of Kymberlie’s work on display at Lotus Arts Studio. It’s April 1st, from 7-10pm at Lotus’ Cherokee location, and it will be a fun event. I’ll be playing two sets – one at 8:00pm and one at 9:00pm. Come out and see us.

I’ve been working on new stuff, trying to finish the songs I want for the album. I’ve got two new songs fully written – “Why Don’t We Dance?” and “This Land” – and I’m very happy with both. I think they both have a very good chance of landing on the album. I’ve also got lyrics and a melody for a song that will likely be called “Chalice”. It may be the first song I write with no guitar…I’m hearing drum/bass/horn, but we’ll see. And finally, I’ve written a song called “Happy Beltane”. It’s pretty much a festival only song, but I think it will be fun, and it will make it’s debut at the Beltane festival @ Wolvenwold – May 19-22. So, be sure you come down and see me (and some other amazing performers – Leo Starwind, the lovely Darwin Prophet, and our hosts, Spellsinger). Not only will you get to see at least one song debut, but if you come down on Thursday you can help a certain bard celebrate his birthday.

So, after a period of writers block, it seems I am emerging from the haze. I’ll try to get some of these down in rough versions for you when I can. In the meantime, I hope you’ll keep joining me here on the Cafe.

I’ll see ya’ down the road,
Brian
