Atlanta

We were nearly mesmerized as we drove into Atlanta on Friday afternoon. It was hot and the traffic was lined up for miles heading out of the city... But as the skyline neared we realized how long it'd been since we last saw the great city of Atlanta. I can't believe we've stayed away for so long.

And that sentiment was really only driven home by the tremendous graciousness of the Eddie's Attic staff... Eddie's Attic is one of the best listening rooms we've encountered, and it's certainly become legendary in the US -- for good reason. Such a great environment for intimate music, such great owners/staff, amazing food, and amazing regulars/music supporters. It was a gift to spend an evening there--

Not to mention that during our show I was able to play a real upright piano (which definitely doesn't happen often), we were opening for the very fantastic Ellis Paul, and we were graced with a wonderful wonderful crowd. Thanks so much to Bob, Bruce, Shalom, Tommy, and everyone at Eddie's for a truly great night --
And thank you to the Ellery friends/fans who came to the show, and to the Ellis friends/fans who gave us a first listen. Such a gift to play for you --

We'll be returning next month with Chris Trapper... We're already looking forward to making our way back.
