Bio

1/11/10: FAWM #4. I can't believe I've done 4 of these!

Big changes for me this year: I moved to Philadelphia! New job, new city, new music scene (and what a scene it is!)

I've got the luxury of being the 'new kid in town' and having that particular perspective. I'm hoping to parlay that into some decent tunes for FAWM this year.

Oh... and I bought a drum machine! hee hee...

    John - I tried to locate an e-mail address for you, but I came up empty here and on myspace.
    I won't be able to come to Fergie's on Sunday night. My wife told me yesterday that she was leaving Sunday for a conference in Utah, and I've been scrambling to get someone to watch my kids for the night, but no luck so far. I apologize for letting you know so late.

    Be sure to put me on for a later slot on Sunday, not quite at the end but close to it, if possible.

    I'm sure Baltimore's lovely, haha, but unfortunately it rhymes with "for" and i'm reading a (dismal) book set there at the moment, so it sprang to mind. (You're now free to enjoy the song with a clear conscience big_smile)

    Hey John, thanks for the comment on my track and there do seem to be more ambient keyboard & synth artist, but it's my 1st time really taking it on and since I've been at a loss for lyrics... kind of works

    John,

    Just stopping in to say hi and good luck. Yeah, I might be crazy, but I'm giving this a try. The music will be easy. The lyrics not so much...
  •  Dusty Mason 1 month ago
    Hey John...cool cool.

    Look forward to meeting you in doylestown on the 29th. Great that you're working on getting a post-fawm event together. I'll attend if I can.
  •  Charlie Cheney 1 month ago
    Cool! OK, maybe I'll play two songs to open, then you can play 3-4, then Dusty's band will play, then I'll play a set after.

    Sure, there's a great pizza place nearby, Soho. E-mail me at aaron_nathans@yahoo.com and I'll send you my cell number. It may be on Sunday morning, since I'm leaving for my grandparents' place in Florida tomorrow, where there's no internet. Returning Saturday night.
  • Aaron Nathans 1 month ago
    I see Peter Mulvey and Jeffrey Foucoult are coming to the Tin Angel on Sunday 1/24. I'm thinking of heading in. If I go, care to join me?
  • Aaron Nathans 1 month ago
