I almost never play “Don’t Stop Believin’” in the park. For me, the song will always be about the playoff chase in 2004, and the fact that college kids play it every night to close down the bars drives me gently up the wall. I’ve played the song only twice: once a snippet in the [...]

For those who don’t know, before working at Fenway I honed my Playing Music In Between Things skills at Improv Asylum for four years after working through their training center program. In the process I was involved with [...]
Last night Brick & Mortar didn’t have anyone booked for Spin The Bottle, so on a whim I decided to stop by and play a set kinda popup style; just show up, plug in, and play music very loud.

Are you listening? Because no shit I really have to sleep here in a second. So listen – one way to lower the flag to half mast is just to lower the flag.
There’s another way though. You can also just [...]
I got an email some number of weeks ago, along with no doubt several thousand others, that Louis CK was super excited about this standup set he had just seen Tig Notaro do. At the time I was pretty well slammed, and while I can’t recall the exact circumstances I remember reading the email on [...]
You may already be familiar with The Thing, a party ABV threw a couple weeks ago at the kickoff of the Boston Cocktail Summit. In sorting through photos late one night in the West Coast offices of Lush Life Productions, I found that we had fully fourteen photos of our friend
