New Years Surprises

Man, did we have a killer time at the Brink Lounge on New Years Eve! First off, the place was packed. I think there was something like a 25-table waiting list the morning of the 31st. Thank you to everyone who came out and partied with us--the energy was incredible! Also, a HUGE thank you to Mike Massey for stepping in at the last minute to cover for my ailing partner. Mike was cool, calm, and collected for the whole show and really rocked the crowd. Francie Phelps was also on call for the evening and stepped in to sing a handful of tunes as the night progressed. Incidentally, make sure you check out Mike and Francie's new project, Stop the Clock. They're working on an album of originals, some of which you can check out on YouTube.

January is going to be a busy, busy month for holiday parties and the like. I'll be appearing solo next at Plan B on the 10th (8pm-12am), and PianoFondue will be in Madison at the Brink Lounge on the 13th (9pm-1am).

Say Hello to My Little Friend

My new baby makes her debut tonight at Plan B on Willy Street. I picked up a Roland Fantom G8 from my good friends over at Full Compass last week, and I can't wait to use it in a gig. It also has a lot of sweet recording functions that should make it much easier to lay down new tracks for this website. I think the first tunes to tackle will be a new version of "Ninja" and a new song that should sound wonderful with a little synth--"Come to Me"

Once the next couple weeks of holiday craziness are over, I should be able to sit down for some quality time with the keyboard. I'm looking forward to letting you hear what I come up with :)

Just a reminder: If you are planning on coming to the Brink Lounge for New Year's Eve, make sure you give them a call and reserve a table. It's cheaper and easier than just showing up, so why not do it now? 608-661-8599

Holidays in Iron Mountain

Big thanks to BOSS Snowplows and System Controls for having us up to play their Christmas Parties this week in Iron Mountain, Michigan. We had a blast with you guys both at the parties and at the subsequent after-bars! Thanks for making us feel so welcome--I can't wait til the next time :)

Back up north...

So the weekend in Minnesota was a ton of fun, although honestly, I think we had more fun on the drives than at the casino/hotel! The show was great, and the multiple organizations represented there all had a blast :) Hopefully that'll translate to some good corporate work in '12. Anyhoo, I'm back in Madison for a couple days before heading out for yet another corporate holiday party. This one's a double for BOSS Snow Plows up in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Cross your fingers for another worry-free drive!

I'll be back performing in Madison on Tuesday, December 27, at Plan B on Willy Street. I'll be on from 8pm til midnight, so come sing along! (2-for-1 drinks, too!)

Don't forget that PianoFondue will be at the Brink Lounge for New Year's Eve. It was off the hook last year, so get your table reservations in soon! Give the Brink a call at 608-661-8599

"No-Men's" Land!

PianoFondue is on the road again. We're heading out today for Saturday's show in Mahnomen, MN. Holy crap is that way up there! Luckily, it looks like the weather won't be too bad--a little chilly perhaps, but not bad. Looking forward to New Year's Eve at the Brink Lounge. Give 'em a call and get your table reserved now! Have a great weekend, everyone :)

This weekend (Dec 9, 2012)

Fun weekend for PianoFondue! After a wonderful and surprising awards ceremony held by the Marinette County Special Olympics, we're heading to our Dells home, Monk's at the Wilderness, for a public show on Friday from 9pm-1am. Next, Chris and I will head over to Appleton to perform for Keller Construction's holiday party on Saturday. Then back to Madison on Sunday to relax for a couple days!

My next solo show is on Tuesday, Dec 13 at Plan B on Willy Street in Madison. I'm playing from 8pm-midnight.

Have a great weekend. Good night from Marinette, WI!

Thanksgiving Eve at the Hollywood

Prepare to be rocked, Joliet! PianoFondue is playing the Hollywood Casino this evening, and it should be a good time :)

I'm going to try getting some writing done while in the hotel here. I've been slacking off as of late, and I want to get up to the 10-12 new songs for next year's album before January. Here we go...
