Coming Soon: A Really BIG Show!!!

Very excited about my next show!

It’s in a couple weeks at Public Assembly (May 30 to be exact) playing along with 2 of my favorite artists Hussle Club and Kimberly Nichole and one of my favorite DJs (and my DJ when I play without the band) Yamez.

It’s the first of what will hopefully be many shows in a monthly residency I will be doing where I present new music of my own and also try and put on other exciting new (or new-ish) artists and give them a forum to do the same.

Please come out and support live music!

Live Performances By:

HUSSLE CLUB
KIMBERLY NICHOLE
MATTIE SAFER

And Music Selection ALL NIGHT By YAMEZ

On To The NEXT One…

Last night’s show at Rock Paper Soul with Sy Smith was incredibly fun and incredibly dope.  Thank you to everyone who came out.  The shows and the music keep rolling on!  My next performance is Thursday May 10 at Piano’s (158 Ludlow St).  Once again I’ll be performing with the full band and once again I’m excited and expecting to have a great time!  Hope that you can join me… Tickets are available HERE

The NEXT Next Show…

So on May 3rd I will be back at my new favorite spot DROM (85 Avenue A btwn 5th & 6th) performing with the full band and sharing the bill with a couple of other great singers, Domijo (@JeSuis_Domijo) and Paul Rivers Bailey (@riversbailey).  It is an early show being presented by ROCK PAPER SOUL (@ROCKPAPERSOUL) who put on great monthly indie soul events all over the city and I am honored that they are putting me on!

The show is early (it runs from 6:30-8:30) perfect to come by after work, have a drink and hear some good music.  I’m also excited to say that the show is sort of a “pre-show” for the Sy Smith & Zo! (@syberspace) show that ROCK PAPER SOUL is presenting immediately after my show.  For those of y’all who ain’t familiar, this is Sy Smith:

They are running a special deal where you can get into both shows for only $20 if you buy advance tickets HERE.

But of course you can also just buy tickets for my show, they are $10 and you can get ‘em HERE:

ANY WHICH WAY this should be a seriously fun show and I hope that you can make it out!  Hit up the Facebook Event Page and let me know if you’re coming!

MY NEXT COUPLE SHOWS…

I’m happy to say that I have more than a few exciting shows coming up over the next month or so… First, I’m very happy that Maggie asked me to perform at this benefit she’s putting together at DROM on April 17.  It’s the Switchboard 1 year anniversary party and I’ll be sharing the bill/stage with some very talented folks… Party Supplies, Nick Catchdubs, Autobot of Flosstradamus, DJ Wonder, Musa and of course TELEPHONED.  Should be a blast it’s only $5 to get in and it’s for a good cause (to read more about it go here: http://www.active.com/donate/kona12nyc/Maggiehorn).

This is also the first show I’m gonna be doing with my new DJ, the highly talented DJ Yamez.  I don’t know many (or any) who can do what he does as far as bringing both talent, skills and selection so I’m excited to be working with him.  You should definitely check him out: http://soundcloud.com/djyamez1

I’m also happy to say that I will be back at DROM again 2 weeks later on May 3rd in a slightly different context… Still ironing out a few details (which I will fill in here later) but what I CAN tell you is that it’s an early/afterwork show, I will be performing with the full 5 piece band and that it’s gonna be great!

Should be a blast, I hope you can make it out to one or both of these shows!

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!
