Just finished two great teaching sessions. Congrats to all the students for completing WMAS at NYU!

Relived the J-Gro experience for a minute this past Saturday at Peanut Butter Blues Cafe in Allendale, NJ. I wasn’t expecting to perform, but I should’ve known better. When I go see Mike Clifford play I usually end up on stage with him. It was an easy sell this time since it had been so long since we last performed together and because it was at the place where it all started. Peanut Butter Blues Cafe is located where Beantowne used to be. I didn’t realize that until  I got there. Memories…

Thank you Charlie Feldman for inviting me to perform at BMI’s 7 World Trade Festival on July 1st. I was in the same showcase as Chris Barron (Spin Doctors) who went on two slots after me and played all his hits from the 90′s solo acoustic. He sounded great, just like his records. Very cool.

Ah, the silly faces I make when I sing...

Thanks to the lovely folks at Lola’s Tea House, one of my favorite intimate venues, for having The Kevin Haden Trio back this past June.

Thanks to all y’all that keep buying my music. I enjoy not starving to death

Volume II is rolling along. I’m trying to limit it to 12 tracks, but it’s so hard to choose.  My songs are like children. Been doing a lot of collaboration. In particular I’ve been working with a couple of great cowriters, Alex Forbes and Billy Seidman.

Thinking about booking a handful of performances before the year is out so stay tuned
