Very excited to announce that a new CARL tape will be coming out on Astral Spirits June 14th! CARL is my free jazz/doom metal band with Andrew Durham, and this release will feature Damon Smith as well. Big thanks to Nate Cross at Astral Spirits for making it all possible!

Pre order will be May 20th, and we will have tapes available for pre order at the Brotzmann/Leigh show at SpaceHL May 25th!

I’m taking a break from booking shows until late May, but around that time I will be hosting two shows that will be absolutely amazing: Peter Brotzmann/Heather Leigh on May 25th at SpaceHL, and Chris Pitsiokos on June 3rd at Khon’s (in a brand new space!). Both of these shows are going to be really special and something you don’t want to miss… Houston area saxophonists, I’m looking at you! Check out more:
