Hello Hello Hello!
So fast the summer does go go go,

I hope you all have caught your share of outdoor action
And that whatever projects you may be pursuing have gained some serious traction
I hope you beach people have gotten beach time
I hope you fruit eaters have gotten peach time
I hope you fly fishers have NOT gotten leech time
And I hope you educators have gotten a solid break from teach time

I myself have been enjoying myself immensely
Ive taken a couple weekend trips between working mad intensely
I'm producing 5 artists right now, living in the studio
And still touring, as I write you now from Toronto
A manageable load, maybe it's not
But I'm loving every minute of it, so i guess that's hot

(hey don't groan and close this page
I was saying that's hot WAY before Paris H)

So So So
I wanted to let you all know know know
That the Barsh Band will soon be performing in NYC Detroit and Chicago-go-go

The first of the 3 dates is a mere 2 weeks away
At the Blue Note in NYC, one of my favorite jointzzz to play
We will be closing the nite out after my old bandleader Avishai Cohen
The amazing bassist who has purveyed a musical mixture all his own
So dont miss it, its August 30 at midnite
The only way to start your Labor Day Weekend off right

And I'm very excited, you might say elated
To bring my band back to Chicago Sept 20, for a very belated
Chitown CD Release celebration event
(the CD's been out for a few months, my where the time went!)

We will also be in Detroit at a great club called Cilff Bells
Restored to its original 1930's decor, the vibe in there is swells (yes bad rhyme I know)

Though mired in production for other artists (which I truly adore)
I'm stoked to start performing my stuff some more
The fall 2008 will be dedicated to my band
After Chitown, Detroit and NYC I'm off to asian lands
To headline the Ambassador Club in the Chinese island of Macau
Where I'll be performing my tunes for 6 straight weeks, and eating plenty of kung pao

Speaking of kung pao, its time for me to eat.
But before I go, look for a feature on me in next month's Downbeat
Magazine,
available at Borders, B&N, or wherever large newsstands are seen

Heres the info on the shows, as always, Challlaaaaaaah atcha boyyyyy
