BENEFIT FOR LUCINDA’S KIDS
BOWERY ELECTRIC - NYC
Last December, our close community of friends, musicians, and music lovers lost one of its own when Lucinda Gallagher took her own life. Lucinda was kind and generous, and would give anything she had to anyone in need. She loved music, her friends and family, but more than anything in this world, her two amazing children. The children, now in the care of Lucinda’s dear friend Jamie, both have their mother’s rock and roll spirit. Like her, they are bright and soulful, and have a deep appreciation for music. Young teenagers, both are gifted budding musicians.
This benefit will include live shows on April 29th and 30th at the Bowery Electric, as well as an auction and raffle that will raise money to be put in trust for Lucinda’s children. All artists and persons involved have generously donated their time and talents, as well as items for auction and raffle. With the advisement of Bob Benjamin of the Light of Day charity and Alan Ross of Samaritans, we will ensure that almost all of the proceeds are placed into a trust for the children, with the only exception being a smaller portion being donated to our friends at Samaritans Of New York, who operate NYC’s 24 hour suicide prevention hotline, public education and suicide survivor support services. They are in turn providing support and aid in operating our benefit concert/auction and raffle.

Hope to see you all. The show will be at 8p. That’s EIGHTp. All is right with the world.

Happy St. Martin’s Summer, Everyone!
Back to school, back to work, back to life, back to reality, back-to-back, ‘Back to Black’, back-to-basics or back-up-against-the-wall, I hope you all had a great September.
I’ve spent most of September in my cave. I’ve been working on a special CD for my upcoming Japan tour (details below), recording with Tracy Bonham (that stuff’s sounding GOOD), trying to finish my Live LP (more trying, less finishing), recording background vocals for albums by my friends Day One and Pete Donnelly (man, I have me some talented friends) and finding that there’s STILL things to discover lurking deep in the grooves of those Beatles’ records (prepping for White Album, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and more coming up with the Fab Faux).
Frankly, I’m ready to BUST OUT! So, I’m flying the coop (yes, I know I said it was a cave) and taking it on the road, which is to say, in the air, and traveling West and then so far West, it’s East.
Which is my way of saying . . .
RETURN TO LA!
WEDNESDAY, 10.19.11 - 8P
GENGHIS COHEN
LOS ANGELES, CA
Wow. LA, has it been two years? Well, you look good - been working out?
I’m putting together another shindig at Genghis Cohen. They’ve always been great shindigs - you have been the main reason why. I hope you’ll come out for another.
A lot of people may have forgotten about this, but October 21st is the REAL Apocalypse (not just a “spiritual” one like back in May), so this may not only be your last opportunity to come to one of my shows, it may be your last opportunity to go to ANY show.
Either way, hope to see you there.

FAB FAUX plays THE WHITE ALBUM
ORPHEUM
LOS ANGELES, CA
Okay, the rest of this email operates under the premise that the Apocalypse will NOT take place on October 21st. In the event of the Apocalypse, these shows will all be canceled or, at the very least, moved to different venues.
I’m joining the Fab Faux to perform the White Album in its entirety. This show finds me in my role as Faux #6 - Utility Infielder. I’ll be running around the stage playing acoustic and electric guitars (and left-handed 12-string electric guitar played upside-down), keyboard, bass, drums (oh yes, drums), percussion, singing and doing even crazier things on ‘Revolution 9′. Quite the spectacle.

I can’t believe I’m going back for my THIRD Japan tour in the last 12 months. Getting a chance to travel Japan and play has been a true gift. Thank you to all the wonderful people in Japan who have been coming out and making the shows such a success and enabling it to continue. I can’t wait to come back and see you all again!

This CD will be available at all the shows on the Fall tour.
