Hello all,
I’ve got a lot of news to tell you, a lot of really exciting things are coming up. The sneaking Fall weather has slowly crept over to my part of the country, and I must say that I couldn’t be happier. Something about the combination of crisp air, nutmeg infused items in my grocery store, and piles of pumpkins strewn about set me at peace. Could be a Pavlovian response to dressing up as a Ninja (my costume three years in a row growing up) and everyone on my block giving away free candy and sketchy looking apples. That’s enough to get the giddies going.
I used to listen to Pachebel’s Cannon in D with headphones on trying to picture a place in New England with Falling leaves the size of small cars strewn about the ground. Most of my daydreaming places that I picture in my mind are somehow always Fall colors. It relaxes me to no end. So needless to say this is my favorite time of year. It’s a good time to be playing shows and meeting new people, which is what I have planned oddly enough! More on that Later, but I wanted to tell you about the show last week in San Diego that was such a great time, we have video of it that can be found on youtube,
Here are some links to your favorite songs, as well as a new as-of-yet-unreleased tune called, “
Love Shouldn’t be this Hard” click
HERE to see it, Justin Glasco helped out by doing his, “I can play everything better than you can, but no big whoop” routine that makes him a certified badass.
Now! Back to what I was telling you about more shows. Here are some dates coming up, a couple in places that I’ve never played before, which will give a few of you an opportunity to see me.
November 4
th-
Seattle, WA- Seattle University, Student Center Hearth 8PM
November 12
th-
Los Angeles, CA- The Hotel Café 8PM- FULL BAND! (Sharing the bill with Jason Reeves)
So this is where I need a little help from my friends ;) if you are in either the Seattle or Corvallis area or know people there and would like to help with the Jake Newton street team your help would be greatly appreciated, there’s free CD’s in it for you. Yes I know, I’ve stooped to bribery, but it’s always worked on ME like a charm. Send an email to
streetteam@jakenewton.com and I’ll send you the promo material and pertinent info.
That is all for now my friends, I’m going to go listen to AA Bondy’s new record while carving pumpkins and drinking cider. Be warm and well,
J
