Pics have been UPDATED from yesterday's show at The Norwalk Oyster Festival! BIG THANK YOU to Fred Gillen, Jr., Chris Corbalis, and Jonathan Lloyd for coming together on short notice to put together one rockin' acoustic band. We played 7 of the tunes from my forthcoming disc, as well as 2 of my favorites from Fred's catalogue: "Sing, Sing" and "Devil's Bluff." Once again, we were surrounded by our friends and family: Mom, Dad, Philip, Veronica, Scully, Dee, Noah, Frank, and so many others I'm forgetting at the moment. These shows just keep getting better! I am definitely "feelin' the love" these days.
I also need to mention here for you to please check out my good friend, Joe Rufrano's, photography exhibit in lovely Long Island City. His PICS are hanging at the Art-o-mat, a super cool artist spot on Vernon Blvd in Queens, NY. You can find it thru my LINKS. I had the absolute pleasure of playing a few tunes with the talented Colin McCarthy at Joe's opening. What a blast. Following the gallery, we all adjourned to the infamous McLoughlin's in Astoria, where were set up shop once again for an impromptu set of classic covers and bar room favorites. It was a long night, but one of the most fun in recent recollection.
Finally, on another amazing note, I need to say "THANK YOU" to all of my Japanese family!!! It is only the 2nd week of September, but there have already been over 2,000 hits on juliecorbalis.com from Japan alone...WOW! Unbelievable. As if that wasn't crazy enough, for some reason CANADA is a close second in hits this month so far... GO CANADA! We love and miss you! Nothing would make me happier than to split my time between touring Canada and Japan...hmmm...that could be a plan! :) I'll have to discuss it with Sculls and get back to you.
Have a great week,
Jules
