Recently, local Indie Rock band, Dubious Ranger, asked me to record the vocals for their version of "The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunnymen.  I had a great time working with these guys and the final version is pretty damn good.

Bhi Bhiman: local strummer making the big moves
Bhi Bhiman has a one-of-a-kind name. No, literally. He’s the only person on the planet with this name. But that’s not too terribly unique in a family where all the men are named in similar fashion. For example, his brother’s name is Arj Arjunan, dad is Ramesh Ramesvara, etc.

Born of Sri Lankan Tamil parents in a mid-western wonderland we like to call St. Louis, Bhiman traveled across the country to our finer parts at the tender age of 17. It wasn’t until 2007 that he really began to gain some exposure dominating the café circuit with his witty lyrics and toe-tapping acoustic sets.  His debut album, The Cookbook, is filled with heart-wrenching, serious ballads mixed right in with sarcastic and satirical social commentaries. His strikingly vibrant tenor octave resonates loud and powerful from any stage with as much recognition as his name.

Bhiman is currently working on his sophomore album, set to release in early summer all while keeping busy headlining bigger venues like The Red Devil Lounge, Slim’s, Café du Nord and even Joshua Tree Music Festival. In times like these, it’s music like Bhiman’s light-hearted melodies that gets people through. A good laugh and a big smile is practically guaranteed with every show.

Zigaboo Modeliste, master drummer and founding member of New Orleans innovators The Meters, has asked me to open for his birthday show on December 27th!!!  Zigaboo's wife, Kathy, approached me this summer at The Great American Music Hall when I was opening for Charlie Hunter.  She came up me after my set and said that her husband had really enjoyed my performance.  After Charlie's set, I headed down to the dressing rooms to hang out.  Zigaboo was there and gave me some pretty amazing praise.  He told me, "Don't stop, you've really got something."  It was a satisfying compliment to say the least.  This man has played with giants!!--Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Keith Richards, Professor Longhair(!!!), Aaron Neville, the Meters, not to mention being sampled on slews of legendary hip hop hits.  Anyways, Zig is having his Birthday Bash at Cafe Du Nord (Saturday, December 27th) and he's asked me to play.  I am honored and humbled to share a stage with one of the greatest, most legendary drummers of all time.

If you haven't heard of The Moondoggies yet, you will soon enough.  They're seriously the best band I have heard in my recent memory and they'll be touring the West coast promoting their debut record "Don't Be a Stranger" in October.  On 10/18 we'll both be playing at Slim's, along with The Stone Foxes, so be sure to come out and catch them before you have to pay festival prices to see these guys play.
