Playing shows with Yuki

I started playing in a new band on a fairly regular basis this year. My friend Yuki is a singer-songwriter that has been working on a new album and ask me and some of our other friends to play in her back-up band.

We started regular rehearsals early this year and went into the studio to record six tracks with a full band in addition to four solo tracks that Yuki recorded. The record will come out some time later this year or early next. In the meantime we are playing a couple of shows as a full band this year. We already played one back in September at a really cool block party thrown by Russian Recording celebrating their 20th anniversary, and we have another show coming up November 11 here in Bloomington at the I Fell Gallery. Here's an image of the flyer that I designed for the show in November.

It feels really nice to be playing music again. It was such a huge part of my life from the time I was a teenager until about 10 years ago, so it's very fulfilling to be back at it, even if it's only for a while.
