Hey everybody, I'm back for a spell
Hope that you're keeping cool, because its hot as hell
And it's gonna get worse; but for now I'll stop grunting
And tell you about a gig with a new group I'm fronting
It's happening next weekend, August 4 and 5
The first time in a while that I've played my music live-
The vibe will be groovy, ambient and hardcore
With an overcoat of Barshness, need I say more?
We're playing at a new club, called the River Room of Harlem
And there is no cover charge, so you got no excuses, darlin'
the info is below
hope to see you at the show!

Im in Paris now, and its 4 AM
I decided it was time for another Barsh Report, so, ahem......

Things are good these days, all my travels have been fine
Ive been back and forth to Europe like a Carnival cruise line.
Though Im gettin kinda homesick, I dont miss the New York summers
But its been 90 degrees Fahrenheit (38 C) here in Paris - kind of a bummer.

Since the last Report, I did clinics for a week at a school in Detroit, which was truly inspirational
And the Avishai Cohen Trio got slightly more international
Playing in Slovakia and Japan for the first time, and though it seems irrational
We did one tour from Philly to Vancouver to Minneapolis to LA to Spain
Then Scotland, then home, but the shows were worth the pain.

My big news is a couple things, first off Ive got a new band!
Were doing a weekend at a new club in NYC, so come check it if you can
The place is called the River Room, the infos on the site
The music will be groovaliscious, and the players are mad tight.
Well be playing some new music, as Ive been flowing with creative juices
And the River Room has no cover, so you all have no excuses.

Secondly, Im moving to a new crib, so all my friends in NYC
Will soon receive an invite to a housewarming party
I might acually have a couple parties, cuz the place is not that big
And I want all my friends to be there to check out the new digs.

Alright, enjoy your summers, or if youre south of the equator
Have a mild and pleasant winter! Talk to yall later-

Barsh
