I recently got invited to take part in the new "Unplugged Tuesday" Series arranged by guitarists Marc Ribot & Marco Cappelli, together with the owner of Watty & Meg in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. I went to one of the nights and it's taking place at a suitable location in a cozy backroom, with very little external bar or street noise competing/blending with the acoustic proceedings. The concept is to allow 2 solo performances per night where the players are free to share "what you really want to play" - wonderful. I'm very happy to have been invited and embrace this occassion. I will delve into the acoustic 6-steel string guitar, and the Bohlin 11-nylon string and play a few of my pieces usually performed solo on the electric, plus a few classics dismembered by the muse and I in a wacky and serious manner. I have rarely played a solo acoustic show, usually I've done them on the electric the last few years, with some effect pedals (although not loops) for orchestrational purposes in the spirit of the overdubbed pieces on my soon upcoming recording "Ax to Grind".
Showtime Tuesday 12/28 10pm, Watty & Meg 248 Court Street (and Kane), Brooklyn, F & G-train to Bergen Street. $15 cover includes one drink. Double bill: Anders Nilsson from sweden and Juecho Herrera from Venezuela.
