2020 - NEW BLOG
Boy it's been a long time. And it's been a very difficult time. Over three months with the pandemic, all gigs cancelled bar my online church gig (thankfully!} Briefly - 'Butterfly Wings' with grand jazz vocalist Charmin Michelle has been out for about one month. I consider it my finest collaborative work with her, and amonst my best recordings ever. Also a new guitar duo record on Unseen Rain NYC - 'So Many Roads w/Jack DeSalvo. A very inspired session that I'm extremely proud of. The Nooners w/Pete Hennig banjo, is now "Twin Town Strings. AS outdoor gigs return, we have a few on the books. It's a great high energy duo, please look for us at Waldmann's Brewing and JS Bean Factory, both in St. Paul MN. Hope YOU are OK and surviving the decidedly hard and sad time. We'll get through, and music leads the way. All my best - Joel Shapira
