It's the most classic spot for art and music and we're gearing the whole Pass the Drum group for magical evening of stellar SoKal living. Did any of you make the shows we played a few years back at the old location of the Artist Colony? Those shows were some of our best and I'm thinking that this new spot will have the same electricty. Can't wait!

8PM to 11PM Mundell is a living legend on the guitar and I'm so thrilled to share the stage with him and these other fine musos. I've only had the opportunity to play live with Mundell once and it was swinging of the charts. He's been in my studio lately and we got to thinking how great it would be to play a live show together. A few phone calls later and here we go. I hope you can make it out.

Friends, I trust that all goes well in your sphere. Last week we had some stellar music at the SD Folk Heritage Society concert. Fredrico played brilliantly and his version of “Malaguena” was off the Richter. Together we forged some sonic excursions that easily let me forget what year it was and how long I’ve been on walking this earth. Transcendental…

For this week we’re leaning into a trio gig at Ki’s and an evening of Bob Marley music—jazz style. Leonard thought this one up and it turns out Monday is Marley’s birthday. We’re gathering a group of stellar musos, some new ones to me too. Great singers— pals from Leonard’s church gig and a hardcore L.A. pianist Josh Nelson, round out the ensemble. I’ve stirred up some whack arrangements and today we’re rehearsing Marley samba, Marley straight ahead, Marley gospel, and of course Marley reggae! It’ll be a good one…

one love, Peter
