EMay Musika

Enjoy the delicious new video from Chai Baba, filmed by Andrew Obenreder of Eye to I productions. Look for some cameos! I wish they showed Dino baking the bread – it was so tasty!! Yum… time for lunch.

I really enjoyed talking with Mike from The Swerve magazine earlier this month — read the tell-all interview that includes  my earliest obsessions with music as well as a few details regarding why that solo album still isn’t out and my blunt opinion of the Pittsburgh music scene.

Name your price to download a new demo – some freshly mixed tracks that were recorded over the last year or so, as debut at last week’s Dar Williams show. Here’s a video from that show (and several more as shot by Neil Richmond), in case you missed it.

Thursday Night ~~ EMay & the Put-Together Band play the Thunderbird Cafe alongside Elliot Sussman and Slim Forsythe, 9:30pm show
Friday Night ~~ Steel Town Fire gets you pumped to make pumpkins at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, 7pm & 8pm (event runs 3-10p)
Saturday Night ~~ EMay sings at RPM’s for a cancer benefit show, 9pm
Sunday ~~ day of rest!
See you all this weekend

October marks the beginning of bread season around Casa D’Emay Ristorante. Also on the menu, casseroles galore, lots of hearty soups, and other things that keep the oven on all day. And this is my FAVORITE season, because it’s the one we just entered, and I love all seasons equally, I’ve just missed this one for longer than the rest…

There are so many *excellent* artists, venues, and activities involved with RAD days. RAD supports local initiatives, and this event showcases many of those supported over the course of three weeks. I’ll be performing early at the New Hazlett Theater  on Sunday, October 2nd, right before (and possibly with!) my friend Rob Gray (Several Conclusions). Check out the full listing of the activities, which kicks off this Saturday!

Join me as I open for Dar Williams, one of the most influential songwriters of our time (from such credible sources as Rolling Stone, Paste and Spin Magazine). RSVP on Facebook for your chance to win tickets! I used to babysit her nieces when I was a teenager back in Massachusetts, something is coming full circle here, I can feel it Get your tickets now!

Ohad Cadji took some excellent photos of Steel Town Fire  & our friends Dan (squared) at the WYEP Music Festival. View the whole lot at cadjblog.wordpress.com. (Ohad was the photographer on the Fire Arts story which appeared in the Original Magazine in Fall, 2010)

Tom Jefferson also took some nice shots, see his flicker stream for those.

Full Bloom at Kelly Strayhorn Theater was a dazzling success – see for yourself! This video was shot for the Tribune Review “Fanfare” Column by Kate Guerriero (Jasmine Goldmand photo/video)

Thanks to all the amazing musicians that came out to play at Club Cafe during last month’s EMay & Friends show. If you couldn’t make it, check it out here.
