So, I’ll be in Austin, TX this weekend for the South-by-Southwest festival, playing two shows:

Sat Mar 20 @ 9 p.m. — The Hideout (617 Congress Ave)
Sun Mar 21 @ 5 p.m. — Okay Mountain (1312 East Cesar Chavez Ste B)

Really excited for these shows, as I’m playing w/some pretty awsome folks: Corey Fogel on drums (Cryptacize, Mae Shi, Gowns), Davin Givhan on bass (Saul Williams, Lauryn Hill) and Nick Hennies on vibes (Weird Weeds)

hope to see you in Austin!
