We’re All In This Together

This is costing me $7.95. If I didn’t have some extra time, I don’t think I would have paid.  But, I need to get some stuff done and I wanted to let you know how things are going.

I’m playing in Franklin, TN this Sunday, after coming back from Seattle (my flight leaves in 20 min). Then I head to the mid-west.  Looking forward to seeing you Missouri and Iowa folks again. It’s been too long.

IOTA with The Modern Skirts and The Brakes on Monday was a killer show.  We all had a great time. Thanks for coming out.

My very talented and gracious friend, Brad Wolf of SOTA took some great shots.  He made us look pretty cool. No? You can see more here.
 

T Bone Burnett developed a new sound technology called CODE.  Very interesting.  Thanks to my friend Will Gray for telling me about this.  Genius.

I’m speaking at a CMJ panel next week called ‘If I Only Had Funding‘. 

The Lay It Down EP will be on iTunes with an extra song, ‘Wear Your Summer Dress’ by mid-November.

D.C./VA folks…I’ve got a show at IOTA on OCT 27 with the band.  Modern Skirts and The Brakes are playing.  It’s gonna be a great night. 

Oh…Would you like to request songs every other week for me to post in videos on here?  Let me know..

I’m studying for tonight’s show at IOTA. 

I watched a documentary about Dark Side of the Moon when I got up. 

As write this, I’m watching Running Down a Dream. 

Next on the list…

The Last Waltz

maybe a little U2 at Slane

I’ll probably finish with The Verve’s set at Glastonbury this year. 

If I can find it, Gimme Shelter. 

I can not wait to play. 

You know, I have been playing guitar, writing songs, doing my thing for a while.  But not long, compared to my heroes. I still get excited making music.  I hope I never lose that. 

I hope to see you tonight, if you’re in the area. 

Cause we’re gonna have a good time.

I have been writing a lot lately…

Fall and Winter are typically when I write at this pace. 

Some of songs are recorded and mixed.  Others are just demos on my laptop. 

I am going to make them all available at the new www.andyzipf.com when its up.  So, stay tuned. 

I have some shows coming up with the band at IOTA and The Rock and Roll Hotel.  I am SO excited.  I actually have rehearsal tonight and I can’t wait. 

Also, I just got an offer to open for Joshua Radin and Alexa Wilkinson at The Birchmere at the end of this month.  Very cool.
