So I'm back after a social media break
I was snoozing on my twitter posts, but now i'm tweet awake
I spaced out off of my facebook; I've reattached the book to face
And most importantly, the Barsh report is back in place!
Its a new year and new things are going down
I'm on tour in Europe now, then I'm back in NY town
With a slew of concerts you should come out to (I know you wanna)
Highlighted by a trio show reuniting me and Mark Guiliana
I also have some new music to share, Sam Barsh Live Vol. ii!
It will be released soon for free download, and I'll be sending the link straight to you
I have some filling-in to do, so call me the rhyming dentist
Time to spread the good word 'bout my last couple months, like a 7th-Day Adventist
November was a jump-around of tri-coastality
NY-LA-NY-EU was my reality
The Barsh Band show at the Blue Note was a hot event for sure
After which an entire night awake my body did endure
For i flew to LA the next day, at 6 oclock in the morn
I felt more out of wack than a duo of Johns: Elton and Zorn
Spent some good time in LA working, playing and writing
I stayed with Jesse P at her new WeHo digs, and we got some hella exciting
News, we got our first placement from our original EP!
The Webbie awards licensed our optimist-anthem "Happy"
Mark your calendars Chicago people, we've secured a place
For our rescheduled big show, March 23 in Evanston at the SPACE!
After that I did 2 weeks in europe rocking keys for Robin McKelle
Which included thanksgiving in rural France, so no turkey this year..oh well
December brought some sideman gigs, I spent Christmas out of town
Also produced a remix of "The Connection" by Maurice Brown
Now the new year's here, and you know i'll come correct
Thus, this week I'm doing a few shows with Rick Parker and Hernan Hecht
Hernan rocks with Latin pop stars, his drum grooves are super trusty
Rick is a slide-wielding Brooklyn beast, and his trombone is never rusty
And at the end of next week on saturday Jan 29
The Sam Barsh Band takes on the feel of a fine wine
By presenting a finely-aged musical combination
That has benefitted from both time apart and musical saturation
My band will feature Mark Guiliana on drums, my longtime collaborator
And new alliance Aidan Carroll on the bass, chomping grooves like a hungry alligator
I have some new tunes that will really feature
These 2 sicknasty musical creatures
The gig info is here, also on barshmusic.com
So come hang out this week, and DEF hit saturday at Drom
Mucho love, and more rhymes soon
-Your favorite Chi-born musical loon
