Working on a brand new tune with @cyrus.nabipoor. You can hear the finished product 2/28 at the @jacklondonrevue, with Cyrus, @jackradsliff on guitar, @instagrarrett on bass and @mortola_ on drums. I’m doing a show of my original African inspired tunes plus some of my favorite South African covers by artists like Abdullah Ibrahim, Dudu Pukwana, and Hugh Masekela. (Ticket link in bio). This band is going into the studio next week to record all those original songs (very excited about that, first album under my name since 2012), so we’ll be sounding extra tight at the show. Hope you can make it out!
