We’re All In This Together

Last night I saw a final cut screening of Call and Response. I’ve written about this movie before. You need to see it. It’s coming to theaters in October. My response was to write a song - Sell My Sister, which you’ll be able to hear soon.

My new pfriends at Digital Freedom put me in touch with Breakthru Radio yesterday. We were going to try and do an interview last night, but I was at the Call and Response screening. So DJ Latola and I spoke this morning at 7:30. Early, yes… but I’m really glad I had the opportunity to chat with him. We talked about digital rights, the state of the music industry, DIY methods, some of my favorite live shows of all time and the mystery of melody. Check it out. Should be up later today, I think. BTR and Digital Freedom are advocates of believers in music. Support them.

Tonight, we play our second show as a three piece at The Rock and Roll Hotel. I’ve never played there, but this will be a cool introduction. Some great DC bands are playing - Justin Jones and The Driving Rain, Olivia and The Housemates and Meredith Bragg.

Come on out, if you’re around.  I’m playing slide on Give All now, with the new band arrangement.  We’re doing a cover that I think you’ll enjoy as well. 

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.
