Montalvo – CSUB – Royal T

Some pics below from recent Empty Cage Quartet sightings at the Montalvo Arts Center (we took over the composition studios for four days to develop two sets of brand new material), our workshop with jazz studies students at CSU Bakersfield, and a long overdue return to Los Angeles with a performance at Royal T sponsored by Angel City Arts:

Psychic Temple

I am very proud to be part of Chris Schlarb‘s upcoming release on Asthmatic Kitty Records, Psychic Temple. The 29-member orchestra featured on this record includes legendary Minutemen bassist Mike Watt, steel guitarist Dave Easley, keyboardist Mick Rossi (of the Phillip Glass Ensemble), bass guitarist Steuart Liebig, and many others. You can download an excerpt from the opening track by clicking here.

The album will be released digitally on November 23. But here’s a better way to get ahold of it: donate now to help fund a limited edition pressing of the album on 180 gram vinyl. $25 gets you a full album download and a copy of the LP when it comes out. Check out the Kickstarter spiel below for more info…
