This will be my 6th or 7th consecutive year opening the Fireside concert series at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica. I love playing this venue. It’s a beautiful, old, amazing sounding theater with raked seating as well as comfy couches which surround the band who is situated in front of a crackling yule. This night I’ll be there with my 9-piece collective but will also break down the evening with a short set of original compositions in the style of Brazilian choro; think J. S. Bach if he were a samba musician. Doors open at 7:30, $10.
