Anthony da Costa's May-&-A-Half 2010 E-Letter
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Hey Folks!
Now, I don't usually send out two emails in one month to this list, so I apologize for clogging up your inboxes! I just want to tell you about a couple of exciting shows coming up this month that got added after the last e-mailing.
First of all, I WILL be flying out to Ohio for a couple of shows this weekend (Columbus, Lakewood), including an opener for Lucy Kaplansky and a great show out near Cleveland the following night. See that info below. It's my first time in Ohio and if you live there or know people who do, I'd appreciate you spreading the word about these shows. You guys make all the difference!
ALSO, I have just added two NYC shows that I'm pretty pumped about. First, I will be making a guest appearance along with best bud and compatriot Emilyn Brodsky (www.emilynbrodsky.net) on Citizen Radio! Boasting such guests as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and our good friend and author DC Pierson, this is a wonderful show that you won't want to miss! This particular broadcast will be coming to you LIVE from the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre in NYC. We'll be interviewed and play a couple of songs. Should be fun! See info below.
NEXT, I'll be at the Living Room in NYC, one of my favorite venues to play, on SATURDAY, May 29th for a special full-band, album preview show! I'll have good friends Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) and Shawn Setaro (Alina Simone, Martin Bisi) on drums and bass, respectively! I'll also have Emilyn guesting on vocals and hopefully some other special guests. I'm way excited to be playing these songs out with the band, as this show will be a warm-up for when we go in the following week.
MY NEXT SOLO RECORD :) I'm excited to say that I'll be going into Headgear Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the beginning of June to make my new record. I'll be co-producing it with the wonderful James Frazee, who will be engineering the sessions as well. New sounds, new energy, I'm really feeling this one..can't wait to share it with you! Will be giving news updates on that as we progress.
Alright, again, sorry for the extra email, but PLEASE, tell people about these shows. Come out yourselves. It'll be fun, I promise!
Hope to see you out there!
Anthony
