Jared's summer gig list!

Hi All

Here's a picture from the Dave Robbins Electric Band playing at the Kozmik Zoo a few weeks (photo by Tom Arntzen).  It was a great night of intense and energetic music with lots of musicians and students in attendance.  We'll be at the Cellar on Wednesday, May 30.

A pretty busy summer music season is getting started for me on Monday. Looking over the list of things coming up, I feel really blessed to be working with so many amazing musicians on such creative and original projects. Some of these bands are doing studio recordings during this period too so I'll be playing a lot for the next little while.  I hope to see some of my loyal blog readers and friends out at these gigs!
