Diva's Coffee Gig With Thayne Whiting

Arrangements have been finalized for another collaboration with visual artist Thayne Whiting in the greenhouse at Diva's Coffee. We will start around 7:30 pm and finish at 10, Friday, March 27 at 1560 East, 3300 South. Expect a set of lush, dubby, global tracks.

In the Works: Diva's Cupcakes & Coffee

I feel that it's near enough fruition to mention another collaboration with visual artist Thayne Whiting is in the works at an intriguing location: The greenhouse dome at Diva's Cupcakes & Coffee. Gordon Wilkins has converted the kooky building on 33rd a few blocks above Highland Dr into an inviting cafe with fantastic drinks and gourmet desserts. The dome is a lush, relaxing oasis on these crisp winter days, and the patio promises to be a favorite once warmer weather arrives. On top of all this, those of us who live in the Canyon Rim area now have good, local coffee shop option with reasonable evening and weekend hours. Expect a audio visual gig near the start of February.

2009 Sundance Film Festival, 100 Club Party

January 22, I will be presenting a selection of music for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 100 Club party. This event is not open to the public and I will only be presenting a pre-recorded set. Nonetheless, I'm thrill to be involved.

Thayne Whiting's Project Pared no. 1

I'm very excited to be providing music for Thayne Whiting's visual art presentation, "Project Pared no. 1" this Friday, December 5 from 6 to 9 pm. This will be an outdoor projection event on the plaza at 160 East, 300 South, in conjunction with the December Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. Cold but clear weather is forecast. Dress warm and stop by as you visit the neighboring galleries on Broadway. 

Correction: Blue Star Gig Time

The two June gigs at Blue Star Cafe will 7:30 to 9:30 PM, Friday 13, and Friday 27.

Blue Star Cafe June Gigs

I'm very excited to announce two June gigs at Blue Star Cafe. 8-10 PM, Friday 13, and Friday 27. These will be outside on the back patio. More details to follow.

May 8 Gig Cancelled

I'll be traveling to California to race the 24 Hours Of Lemons next week, so Thursday the 8th I won't be playing. Stop by on the 22nd instead.

While The City Sleeps

I just finished pulling a stash of excessively relaxed tracks for tomorrow night's ... um, tonight's set. Very mellow. Look forward to a full 2 hour set combining 20 years of ambient, global, and dub.

Regular Gig

It's official that I now have a regular gig at Sugarhouse Coffee. I'll be playing every second and fourth Thursday of each month. So my next three gigs will be:

• Thursday, March 27.
• Thursday, April 10.
• Thursday, April 24.

I usually show up with some demos to give away, so say hi and take a CD. Hope to see you there.

Another Gig tomorrow, Thursday 13th at Sugarhouse Coffee. I'm planning a set of global-dub.

It's looking like Stroud is going to hand me the reigns for the recurring Sugarhouse Coffee gigs and I'll probably try to arrange to play every first and third Thursday of each month. I'll confirm details as they develop.

Change To Gig Schedule

I've had to drop the gig scheduled for the 28th. I'm still playing this Thursday, the 21st at Sugarhouse Coffee.

More Sugarhouse Coffee Gigs (Corrected)

I'm playing at Sugarhouse Coffee again this Thursday (Feb 21) from 7 to 9.

The following week [canceled] (Feb 28) I'm playing from 8 to 9 [canceled]. An acquaintance who is a musician with some very interesting ideas about music will be playing the 7 to 8 set. I'm interested to hear his set.

Set Time Change

Please note that my set this Thursday has been moved to 7pm.

Stroud was told he was too loud last week so I'm going to have some very mellow and ambient selections ready.

There is much I want to have ready for Thursday. I've been preparing possible selections for the set, getting familiar with Stroud's Pioneer rig, and scrambling to record some demos to hand out. Besides that I'm catching a cold, but plan to play no matter my health.

I'm looking forward to the set even though it will be mellow and low profile. I don't want the set to intrude as people go about their business, but if one or two people enjoy the listening experience I'll be glad. I hope to discuss music with a few people and hand out some demos.

Coffee Shop Gig (Updated)

I have a 1 hour set at 7 PM, Thursday February 7, 2008, at Sugarhouse Coffee. I'll be playing a gallery set of ambient dub, lounge, and other chilled selections. Many thanks to DJ Birdman for offering me the time slot. I'm not sure what other DJ's he has lined up but I'm guessing some fresh local talent will play some innovative sets.

(Sugarhouse Coffee has moved about a block west and across the street from their old location. The new location was formerly Millcreek Coffee.)
