Cannons and Clouds featured in “The Bay Bridged”

Cannons and Clouds received some love this week from the Bay Bridged, one of the bigger local music blogs of the Bay Area.

I co-produced, engineered and played on their album, which came out this past August.

You can check them out at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco on Thursday Jan 20.

I spoke about the future of the music industry and the importance of community involvement .I also got to meet some very talented graduates and listen to some of the tracks they’ve produced over the past year. Cool stuff.

San Francisco Supervisor Candidates Forum

wpid-object002_2-2010-09-27-15-02.jpg
On Monday, Sep 27, The Recording Academy SF Chapter (of which I’m the President) and the California Music and Culture Association (CMAC) put on the San Francisco Supervisor Candidate Forum, a political discussion focused on issues related to music and nightlife in the city.

The SF Chapter’s advocacy committee put in many hours of hard work along with our friends at CMAC and Barbary Coast Consulting to pull off an event that drew over 200 people to Yoshi’s SF on a monday night.

Bevan Dufty, current district 8 supervisor and mayor hopeful gave an entertaining keynote and we were also fortunate to hear performances from Brad Hughes and Sean Hayes. The event was moderated by Priya David Clemens of KTVU.

I’m proud to have been a sponsor of this first-of-its-kind event and hope to help produce more of these types of events in the future.

Make sure to vote on Nov 2!

Recording Afro Cuban All Stars at Mondavi Winery

It was a warm July night and I had the pleasure of recording the Afro Cuban All Stars in Napa, CA at the Robert Mondavi Winery.

The leader of the group, Juan de Marcos Gonzalez was also a member of the Buena Vista Social and featured in the film of the same name. He was one of the warmest and friendliest artists I’ve ever met. The group is comprised many of his family members and even if you’re not related, he still treats you like family. It was a beautiful evening of great music in a beautiful setting.

It’s an all ages show. I’ll also be performing with Kate Burkart and Maya Dorn. We’re each going to be doing rotating 20 minute sets.

Here’s a tune I’ll be playing that night, recorded by my studio mate, Michael Romanowski.
