Very First Live Stream!

Here's my very first "live stream" performance (now archived on youtube).  Jon Fried and I performed at a Zero Hour Records Reunion concert to benefit A Leg To Stand On.  We were excited by all the hearts and messages floating by as we performed!  The event was in the middle of stay-at-home lockdown, May 5, 2020.

Benefit For GlassRoots

Jon Fried and I were very proud to take part in an online benefit for GlassRoots.  We were supposed to perform live in  their studios, but covid-19 made us move the party online.  Here's archived version of the concert.

Dear Leader (lyric video)

"....Dear leader, if you could only speak the truth, then the truth would speak for you
we might believe you..."

"Love and Joy"

New holiday single from The Cucumbers released today! Written for a party, hoping to spread some high spirits during the holidays, Jon and Deena (from The Cucumbers) wrote “Love and Joy” specifically for The Hoboken Holiday All Star Band. The band features local heroes Julio Fernandez (lead guitar), Ed Fogarty (guitar), Gary Frazier (bass), Dave Stengel (drums), Bryan Beninghove (sax), and John Keim (keys) with Jon Fried (guitar and vocals) and Deena Shoshkes (vocals and percussion). This fine crew assembles annually at the fabulous annual Hoboken Holiday Banding bash. Jon and Deena wrote the song with this band, this crowd and this party in mind. After they debuted “Love and Joy” live in 2018, Jon and Deena brought the group into the studio to record it under the name The Cucumbers, a band they’ve led with various rhythm sections and other collaborators since forming in Hoboken in the early 1980s. All proceeds from downloads and streaming will be donated to the Community FoodBank of NJ.  Beautiful cover art by Ann Shoshkes.

The Mueller Report

I have piles of little home demos that I make just for fun, and rarely share. But I figured I'd share this one, just because... it has a shelf life of about a week.
