The Dog Days
7.20.07 - Well, it's high time for an update here. We finally got the CD out, and everybody seems to like it. Marvelous! We aim to please. I (Jake) am in New York these days, checking the scene out. I'll always be a Bostonian, but hey, this town has some decent food. Everyone here my age is from somewhere else anyway, and besides, I enjoy causing a stir when I wear my Red Sox hat. We'll be playing around town quite a bit over the next month, with shows in Manhattan, Brooklyn and even out on - as they say around here - Lon Gylund. We'll be playing songs from the new disc, along with a few brand new ones I'm pretty excited about. Come on out, or send your favorite New York friend our way. Check the gigs page for listings. Thanks!
