I’M PERFORMING WITH BENI @ SCION AV TONIGHT (JANUARY 24th) IN NYC

Tonight I’m going to be making an appearance in the House of Beni, performing our song “Someone Just Like You” live.  It’s a Scion AV party and it’s at White Rabbit (145 E Houston).  I think it’s free?  I don’t know if you gotta RSVP or not, I’ll try and find out more and update this…

By the way, for those of y’all who never heard it, here’s the track we did.  Hope you enjoy!

I’M PLAYING A SHOW TUESDAY JANUARY 17!!!

So after several months working on the new live show I’m finally gonna be playing my first show with my new live band.  Excited doesn’t even begin to describe the feeling.  If you’re in NYC next Tuesday come out and support!  You can get tickets on the door or here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4221535

PLAYING 2 SHOWS

For anyone who might not be following me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/mattiesafer) seemed like it was past due to make note of the fact that I will be playing 2 shows in the next week here in NYC.

Both shows are at Dominion NY.  I’ve been rehearsing with my new live band for a couple of months now and while we’re not quite ready for the big thing this show is a little different.  Islands (the main act) are presenting their new album in a small, intimate seated theater and offered me the chance to open up, present some of my own new material and “set the mood.” 

So in the spirit of the evening, my performance is going to be pretty laid back, featuring just myself singing, piano and guitar.  It’s been a lot of fun preparing for the show and it should be a beautiful night of music.  I have the privilege of playing with some talented individuals and I am happy to have an opportunity to present a show for y’all.

If you have a CMJ Badge entry is free this Saturday night, otherwise you can get advance tickets directly from the venue (http://www.dominionny.com/).  I’m not so sure on the details for next Saturday yet but I know I will be on fairly early this Saturday (7 pm) so try and make it early!

Thanks and hope you can make it out!

PHOTOS FROM LA CITA (LOS ANGELES)

Back on the east coast now with no shows for a bit, so I’ve got to time to put some photos up now.  These are from the show I did at Dance Right! at La Cita in downtown Los Angeles. 

It was a great show, probably my favorite of the whole trip.  Great crowd, great music, great atmosphere!  Big thanks to Matt Goldman, Paul Devro & the rest of the crew for having me!  And as usual, a big thanks to my lovely fiancee Vivian for the photos (check her “field trips” blog out at http://vivijean.wordpress.com).

Enjoy!

PARIS WAS A BLAST.  We were there for just under a week.  I got to do so much cool sh*t and see so many wonderful things, see friends, play a concert at the beautiful Social Club, do a performance on the radio… It was the best.  Truly a wonderful time and I’m so thankful for the opportunity.  I’ll be back!  Below are some videos from the gig at Social Club…

AND HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS… around Montmartre, at the Louvre, at Social Club, at the Eiffel Tower… A little bit of everything, all photos as usual taken by my beautiful fiancee, Vivian Corado…
