James Gedda (ALBUM OUT 11/21)

First attempt at coq au vin to celebrate my better half's new job. A $6 bottle of wine imparts a lot of flavor, it turns out. Also, these pearl onions fuck.

Psssst... if you'd like to review my album coming out in two weeks and I somehow missed you in my round of emails, let me know!

We're approaching the 50th anniversary of the story behind this song, so here's an old video of Jack Whittle and myself playing "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

TONIGHT: Shipwreck in Griffith, IN with Jack from 7-10

The South of Mars album cover was painted by the ceaselessly talented Sergijoe Villani and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! Make plans to get yourself a CD copy at the album release show on 11/22 at EAT in Hammond, IN!

TONIGHT: Aloft South Bend 8-10 (Eastern)

TONIGHT! Come join me at The Red Door in LaPorte from 6-8! This place has great food and killer cocktails. Perfect date night spot.

See y'all out there! Don't forget to pre-save the South of Mars album, out 11/21! Link in profile.

South of Mars, the first record from myself & The Big Breakfast, is out in ONE MONTH! Can't wait for y'all to get your hands on this one. You can pre-save it at the link in my profile. Release show is 11/22 at EAT in Hammond, IN!

You know, it recently occurred to me that when *you know who* kicks the bucket, that song I put out in February will probably get a bunch of streams I'll make a few bucks in royalties. So it'll be a good day all around.

No Kings

Gonna be a fun weekend!

TONIGHT: August Hill Winery Tasting Room in Utica, IL with The Big Breakfast from 6-9

SATURDAY: Zorn Brew Works in Michigan City, IN with a trio from 7:30-10:30

See y'all out there!

The people aren't ready for this truth, Chris.

For you, Bruce, I'd have made an exception.

A small thing I'm pretty proud of: I played a two day festival this past weekend. Two days of multiple sets a day totaling about 7 hours of playtime for the weekend, and I didn't repeat a single song. Hell, I still had material left over!

In case you didn't catch the news yesterday, I'M PUTTING A RECORD OUT! South of Mars will be available on 11/21. You can pre-save it at the link in my profile.

FRIDAY: August Hill Winery in Utica, IL w/ The Big Breakfast

SATURDAY: Zorn Brew Works in Michigan City, IN w/ a trio

There'll be CD's as well! A vinyl run wasn't feasible because of cost and the length of the record.

It's a good piece of work, can't wait for you to hear it!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
After 3 years of starts, stops, pauses, and delays, I'm proud to tell y'all that South of Mars, my very first full-band, full-length album, releases on 11/21! It was a labor of love and a community effort by a lot of people, and I can't wait for y'all to hear it!

Got some news coming...

"Thick As Thieves" has been out for a week, and it's currently sitting at under a hundred plays across all music platforms. Please give the song a listen, add it to your playlist, and let me know what you think!

PS: Got a big announcement coming next week.

Stallone is a Trumper so fuck Rocky as a whole. Rambo too.

Hey friends, quick reminder: that pedo scumbag in the White House isn't gonna see the fat jokes you make about him. The armed gestapo terrorizing cities aren't gonna see the fat jokes you make about them. But the bigger bodied people in your life probably will.

Have you listened to the new single "Thick As Thieves" yet? If not, there's no time like the present! Give it a spin and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the kind words, Art!
