Nerfa Recap!

November 24th, 2008

I’m still recovering from a weekend of musical debauchery. Nerfa 2008 was chock-full of great music, reunions, new friends and some nice surprises. Carolin, Craig, Joe H and I played our way through hotel rooms, hallways, lobbies and elevators. There is nothing more fun than charging into a room with this band, tearing up the place (musically speaking) and then running off to the next gig.

Thank you to everyone who spent some time with us – both getting to know us and also coming to see us play. There are so many names! So many people… John Platt, Tracey Delfino, Cheryl Kagan, Gene Shay, Tribes Hill, Michael Kornfeld, Kathy Sands Boehmer, Mary Ray, James O’Malley, Karen Finkenberg, Philly Folk Society. The list goes on and on and on!

I’m looking forward to a trip to Boston just after thanksgiving to hang out with some of the new friends made last weekend in the Catskills. Hopefully we can take the progress made at Nerfa and bring it to all of you in 2009. In addition to our performances, there were some wonderful artists that just knocked me over… Check them out. Here are my picks:

Jenee Halstead
Danielle Miraglia
Jacob Johnson
Larry Zarella
Betty Soo
Abi Tapia
Guy Mendilow Band
Gathering Time
The Ya Ya’s
Jeni & Billy
Anthony DaCosta

My darling friend Hillary Foxsong took some great photos over the weekend. You can see her photostream here.
