(more shows listed at the end)

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
