Cal Robbins benefit auction
Cal Robbins just turned 2, a milestone age for a kid with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
I am auctioning off a cello arrangement of a song of the winner's choice, as part of a series of birthday auctions for Cal (including some pretty serious indie-rock stuff, like the rare Shellac "Futurist" album).

On Vox: two benefit shows rocked...
This past weekend I played a second benefit show for Cal Robbins, and I just realized I never posted pictures from the first one.
The Funky Buddha Lounge in Boca Raton was gracious enough to host both shows, and both were a blast. The first show was held on June 16, and five acts played -- we raised over $500 to split between the SMA Foundation and ( Read more... ) -

In the meantime, eight songs are completed for the benefit album, and with ( Read more... )
