Last week was super fun: playing with a miniaturized version of Mike Essoudry's Mash Potato Mashers for Tedd Robinson's R3 Dance project at the National Arts Centre, and, following the final show, literally running down the street to go sit in with Dan Mangan's band for the Ottawa portion of their Peculiar Travel Suggestions tour (got there just in time for the last few tunes).
This week, I'm looking forward to the Mike Essoudry's Mash Potato Mashers CD Release party on Friday night (the 5th)! It's happening at Irene's Pub, 885 Bank street in Ottawa, at 9:30pm. We recorded the CD this summer, and it sounds great. I'm very proud of my playing on this recording. So check it out! We'd love to see you at the party on Friday, but if you can't make it, consider purchasing the CD on CDBaby.
On Saturday the 6th, I'll be performing once again with Mr. Essoudry, playing some of his original charts with the Mike Essoudry Octet. This one's at the NAC 4th Stage, as part of the Ottawa Jazz Festival's Six-Concert Extravaganza, exclamation point. Be there at 7:30 to catch my wonderful friend Megan Jerome; she plays right before us.
Here's a video of the Mashers in action - you can expect more of the same at the CD release Friday night!
