This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of performing at Studio 27.28 for the September opening of artists Cassandra Warren and Eric DeJesus. This marked a new genre of performance for me, utilizing a Roland SP-555 sampler to build dynamic samples and to improvise instrumentals. For some reason, my new MacBook crashed twice, which really sucked! But, I’m sure with some tweaks I can get it performing properly next time.

Melissa took some photos of the event as well, of course!

I almost didn’t get to Studio 27.28 that night due to a horrific car accident that Melissa and I witnessed on the drive over. At the intersection of 16th & Broad, we watched in perfect site a Cadillac Escalade come barreling down the WRONG lane of traffic and slam into another SUV in the middle of the intersection! The white Escalade then ricocheted off of the other SUV and crashed into a traffic-light pole. Suddenly, a young looking man got out of the Escalade and ran away down Girard Avenue. The woman in the other SUV, who had what looked like a 2-year-old in the back seat, luckily did not attain any injuries. Then, the traffic light pole came crashing down into the street.

On Saturday, September 6th, I will be performing at Studio 27.28 in Philadelphia, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., doing up my new one-man show act and providing the background ambience.

Studio 27.28 is run by artist / photographer Jonathan Slinguff, and has been a hot new gallery in the northern North Star region of town.

The featured artists of this event are Eric De Jesus of Virginville, PA and Cassandra Warren of Portsmouth, NH. Come down and check it out!
