Pic of Winter Hours Tribute Gig #1

We had a wonderful time opening the show for the Winter Hours' 1st Tribute Gig. I believe there were 10 groups that performed that afternoon, and they were all so amazing. We all played our song from the Winter Hours' tribute album, "A Few Uneven Rhymes." The gig was at a lovely gallery, 1978 Maplewood Arts Center, Maplewood NJ, that was filled to standing room only during the performances. Jeff Raspe did a wonderful job of creating and being the inspiration for the album & was really touching as the MC. Below is a picture from him of Jack Brag performing "She Waits." Deena Shoshkes (from The Cucumbers) joined us to perform the song from the album "Hyacinth Girl."

Gig with Deena

We had a wonderful time with Deena at the gig in Hoboken at the Goldhawk. Though it was very snowy that day, many people braved the weather to come out to support Deena. We were playing on what is possibly the smallest stage ever, but we made it work (ok, so some of us had to be off the stage, but we all kind of fit). Here's a picture of us playing "Hyacinth Girl" with Deena joining us on stage:Deena was terrific, as she is always, & we were really proud to participate in her CD launch party. Go buy her album!
