Seasons Greetings,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends and food.

Speaking of food, my December 2nd show at Careme’s in Mays Landing, NJ is SOLD OUT.

It’s true. If you don’t already have tickets to this 4-course gourmet meal/concert combo, it’s too late. The kitchen is closed.

But please consider these other fine serving suggestions:

KENNETT FLASH
KENNETT SQUARE, PA

Definitely the last official Philly/NJ/NY show this year. Possibly the last for some time.

Definitely would love to see you. Possibly you’ll want to come.

SATURDAY, 12.12.09 - 8P
OPENING FOR SARAH BORGES AT INFINITY HALL
NORFOLK, CT

I don’t know much about this Sarah Borges, but she covers an NRBQ tune on her latest album, so I think I want to find out more. We can explore the mystery together at the beautiful Infinity Hall.

I’m driving up. It’s been a while. You may want to find an alternate form of transportation.

The Recap:
Saturday, 12.12.09 - 8p
JIM BOGGIA (opening for Sarah Borges)

Boggia in Brooklyn

0 Comments 15 November 2009

What Know, Hipsters?

It’s happened again. The rug has been pulled out from under us all and we’ve been plunged into afternoon darkness for months to come. All in the name of letting us plant our crops, or some such anachronistic nonsense. Seems some countries are actually considering entering into modern times and scrapping “standard” time altogether. I say let’s join them. Who’s with me? DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME RULES! YOU CAN’T MAKE PROGRESS BY FALLING BACK!

Well, if it has to be nighttime starting at 4p, I guess that gives us time to put on a few evening shows. Here’s what’s coming up:

TUESDAY, 11.24.09 - 8P
SOUTHPAW
BROOKLYN, NY

Hey, I hear what you’re saying: “Um, Brooklyn, Jim? Have you grown an ironic mustache that curls up at the edges? Did you buy a new pair of skinny jeans? Are you fronting a band and standing at the microphone playing a floor tom instead of guitar?” Well, as it turns out, the answer to each of these questions is “No”, which means I’m actually quite nervous about playing in Brooklyn being absolutely devoid of any hipster armor whatsoever.

Southpaw is actually a great room. It is also a BIG room. So, sincerely, if you can make it out and bring some folks or even send that performance artist friend you knew in college out to the show, I would be “geeked” or “stoked” or “?” - let’s go with truly appreciative.

The Recap:
Tuesday, 11.24.09 - 8p
JIM BOGGIA
Southpaw
125 Fifth Avenue - Brooklyn, NY
$10. 18+.

The monthly ‘Acoustically Related’ night hosted by Sari Schorr. Doors at 8p. Show at 8:30p. Leslie Mendelson and Benyaro open. More info here .

Back in the US

0 Comments 13 October 2009

Greetings World Travelers,

Just getting back from my Philly to Paris to London to Paris to Saint Etienne to Fribourg to Zurich to Paris to London to Amsterdam to Paris to Philly tour with (and without) Zach Djanikian.

It was a tremendous experience and we had a great time and played some wonderful shows. A big, huge thank you to everyone who came out to the shows, hosted us, help set up the gigs and assisted in putting the tour together. I hope to go back to a lot of the places in late Spring/early Summer next year.

But what about the US? Well, now that you mention it, I’ve barely had time to pet all the cats and now it’s time for a show here at home.

FRIDAY, 10.16.09 - 8:30P
STEEL CITY
PHOENIXVILLE, PA

No better place for a homecoming than Steel City. After playing in so many new places it will be a treat to come back to the comfort of a familiar place and familiar faces in the crowd. It will also be nice to play a show in clothes I haven’t worn 5 other times in the same week. Because of this, you don’t need to hesitate in trying to snag the front row seats (sorry, audience at the Tennessee Jazz Club in Paris - it wasn’t personal).

The Recap:
Friday, 10.16.09 - 8:30p
JIM BOGGIA
Steel City
203 Bridge St
Phoenixville, PA 19460-5408
(610) 933-4043

$18 Adv. / $20 DoS. ALL-AGES. BYOB.

Okay, really - I’m not fooling around. Watch this NOW. Big thanks to John Anthony for putting together a wonderful document of the 11-piece band at last year’s ‘Misadventures in Stereo’ record release party at World Cafe Live in Philly. Multi-cam video, multi-track audio. Why are you still reading this? Watch this NOW.
