A Charlie Brown Christmas / The Ventures' Christmas Album

 

2012 marks the fifth year Jeffrey Bützer and T.T. Mahoney present Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas, which has become an Atlanta tradition and institution.  I have attended every one of these magical performances, which enkindle my love and spirit for the Christmas season each year.  It has also been my honor to perform The Ventures' Christmas Album the previous two years, as I will this year with my group Chad Shivers and the Silent Knights.

At The Earl December 14 & 15, tickets at Ticket Alternative (which may also be purchased at Whole Foods, Criminal Records, and CD Warehouse).

At The Bottletree Cafe December 21, tickets at thebottletree.com.

Normally I would not post such personal items on this blog but I feel such a momentous occasion warrants archive.

Live recordings from first MOONBASE show

Moonbase first show!

Moonbase is an instrumental surf combo with progressive leanings formed in 2012 by George Asimakos (Blame Game, Gold Standard, Knaves Graves) on lead guitar, Eric Balint (Bicycle Eaters, Book of Colors) on bass guitar, Sonny Harding (Sorry no Ferrari, Treephort) on drums, and myself on second guitar.

We will be playing our first show at the Star Bar (437 Moreland Avenue Northeast  Atlanta, GA 30307)  Wednesday, June 20 with The Purkinje Shift, Lazer/Wulf, and Ghost Bikini.

After four fantastic shows in three weeks I feel it appropriate to announce that I am now the newest member of The Mystery Men?
