Cancelled shows

Hey, everyone. I’ve been reluctant to cancel any shows and I feel like I’m letting you all down, but I’m having severe and debilitating abdominal pain without any real answers at the moment, and I don’t see any other choice but to call it and focus on my health right now. I’ve pulled out all shows I’d booked through the rest of year, but please show up and support the other bands. (P.S. – Fuck the American healthcare system.)

To The Front Fest

Super excited to be a part of To The Front Fest in Lexington, KY which is focused on “creating a platform for the inclusion and visibility of marginalized identities within the arts community.”

Carl Jacob and Sheri Lynn: Bootlegged at Butchertown Social

Jake Hellman approached me some time ago about co-writing some country songs, two things I hadn’t really done before. We had a lot of fun working together and formed a band for one show.

Thanks to Billy Lease, Austin Hellman, and Nick Hall for accompanying us, to Jeff Jobson for bootlegging the set, to Dave Chale at Dead Bird Studios for mastering it, and to Jake Miller for the artwork.

Live Video: Solo Set at Monnik

Señor Diablo of Belushi Speedball are some of the biggest promoters of the Louisville music scene. I played a secret show with them at Monnik and you can catch the set here:

Live at Odeon

Beau Kaelin (The Señor Diablo Show and Belushi Speedball) was kind enough to videotape our set from Odeon last night.

 

Poorcastle Festival 2019

We can officially spill the beans! My band is playing Poorcastle Festival which falls the weekend of the 4th of July this year!

Lead guitarist Mark Hamilton, bassist Josh Johnson, and I are playing with Zack Kennedy on drums now, if you haven’t heard.

More details TBA.

Live Set with Kate Wakefield

Here’s a snippet of my live set from my little lovesick-Valentine’s run with Kate Wakefield (Lung).

She was kind enough to accompany me on backing vocals and cello while playing her own solo set (which is amazing, if you haven’t checked it out).

There are a couple new songs here to make you weep.

 

“The Dance” Album Release and Opening

I composed the acapella piece for the title track of “The Dance” and voiced other poems which were produced by The Glass Eye Ensemble as part of their multimedia art installation which you can check out tonight at Tim Faulkner Gallery.

Doors at 6p, a brief live performance by me/Mark Hamilton and Ron Whitehead/Jae Grady at 8p. No cover.

Thanks to sonaBLAST! Records and Howard and Nancy Bruner-Wilson for supporting this release. You can stream the audio on major sites.

 

Carl Jacob and Sheri Lynn

Next Tuesday, Jake Hellman and I debut our little country side project, Carl Jacob and Sheri Lynn.
