I posted my drawing from Willis Earl Beal’s showcase the other week at Joe’s Pub. It was a powerful performance. NPR is streaming the album and I strongly recommend giving it a listen… .
A rich and approachable encapsulation of Willis Earl Beal’s unpredictable sound, Nobody knows. opens with two full minutes of the singer’s unaccompanied voice before fanning out into a deft mix of spare blues confessionals and classic soul.

Joe’s Pub just posted this smoking video of my friends Dawn and Ray and Josh playing Dawn’s song Bodyguard. In addition to it just being a great performance, check out Josh’s monstrous guitar and pay close attention to the way Ray is multi-tasking on a bass keyboard, drums, harmonica and background vocals. Damn. Ray Rizzo is a one man backing band! OK, back to my drawing board.

I’m enjoying this odd trip through my video past. Here I am playing (and drawing) the male romantic lead in The Weepies Red Red Rose video. Showbiz!
