St. Louis with Stephanie Reese



Last weekend I played a lot of music and this week I made a TV show, this seems to be how my life is gonna be for a while.

I played a benefit show for a dancer who performed with me at Carnegie Hall, a super great dancer named Sergio


This is us after our show.

Then over to the amazing as always Rockwood Music for a show with Second Dan.

The next morning I headed to LGA with Bobby to meet up with Stephanie Reese and our Carnegie Hall group to fly out to St. Louis.


I've never been to St. Louis. I was really nice. We were there to play a concert in support of an amazing organization called Gawada Kalinga (which means To Give Care in Fillipino.) They raise money to build villages, schools, and other building in the Philippines.

We got to The Drury Inn that evening and wow, wow wow wow, what a great place! Free popcorn, a decent breakfast, but they also give you a card for three free drinks from 5:30 to 7pm at their evening dinner bar which had hot dogs, chili, baked potatoes, and chips and salsa. We hit the pool then the dinner bar, then went out to a local Indian restaurant to meet a few of the people who had sponsored our show. After that the boys and I closed down the hotel bar and hit the bed for some rest for the next days show.
Waking up in the amazingly comfortable Drury beds, they had three pillows, soft/medium/hard, totally three bears style. We had plenty of time before we had to get to the theatre for sound check so we hit up the breakfast bar and laid in bed watching tv until we had to get ready for the show.
We played the amazing Sheldon Concert Hall

We played a great show and celebrated late into the night around the "Landing" downtown, at the end of the night I actually stuck my feet into the Mississippi River, then we all went home and passed out. The trip back was uneventful, I poured myself into a cab and went back to Brooklyn.
