Rich Hinman tonight with Kevin Barry, Zach Hickman and John Sands tonight at 8 o'clock. Grab your tickets now on Eventbrite for $15 or at the door for $20 starting at 7 o'clock. Music starts at 8! See you there!...🦎

On his recent LP "Memorial," on Colorfield Records, multi-instrumentalist and composer Rich Hinman creates an arresting collage containing elements of electronica, psychedelia, and searching improvisation, with Hinman's pedal steel as the (mostly) primary voice. Here he debuts a new band of like-minded explorers featuring local heroes Kevin Barry (Jackson Browne, Rosanne Cash) on guitar and lap steel, Zachariah Hickman (Josh Ritter, Ray LaMontagne) on acoustic bass and John Sands (Aimee Mann) on drums.

Happiest birthday to @jennamoynihan who is the absolute best. ❤️🎻

Saw a @pedalsteelurbitch -posted video of Jimmy Capps and Curley Chalker playing Merle Haggard’s “Silver Wings” this morning and have been trying to play a solo version. I sometimes can’t believe how hard this instrument is and have been struggling with the challenge of playing in tune but not playing cautiously.

A couple shows this week:
Tuesday May 12: Matt Smith @clubpassim 30th anniversary show at @arrowstreetarts, playing in the house band - lots of great songwriters, check the link in my story
Wednesday, May 20: my band with Kevin Barry, Zack Hickman and John Sands back at the Lizard Lounge. Ticket link in bio.

Trying to write stuff every day. Would have played this again but I haven’t figured out how to do it without my left hand cramping up.

I loved playing at The Lizard Lounge last week with Kevin Barry, Zack Hickman and John Sands. We’re coming back Wednesday May 20 for our last show there until the fall. Advance tickets recommended, new ticket link in bio.
Didn’t get much video last week but I love this, the end of the night - you can’t see him, but you can hear @kevinbarryguitar’s lap steel soaring behind/in front of me.

Rich Hinman vs. Adam Levy

The brilliant musical alliance of Adam Levy & Rich Hinman has been a mainstay on our bandstand the last few years.But with guitarist Adam Levy’s recent west coast relocation, we have to get it while we can and here it is!! You don’t wanna miss it.

@richhinman ~ Pedal Steel
@adamlevyguitar ~ Guitar
@lightcapchris ~ Bass
@danrieser ~ Drums

***TWO SETS: 9PM & 10:15PM***
***$10 (CASH) SUGGESTED DONATION***
***LUNATICO HAS A FULL DINNER AND COCKTAIL MENU SO COME EARLY TO EAT!***

Individually, the members of this instrumental quartet have played with Sara Bareilles, Norah Jones, Amos Lee, k.d. lang, Rosanne Cash, Jim Lauderdale, Allen Toussaint, and other venerable artists. As a collective unit, they play soul music without words, country music without hats, and blues music without regrets.

Tomorrow (Saturday) night we’re getting the band back together. Rich Hinman vs @adamlevyguitar at @barlunatico in Brooklyn! Can’t wait. @lightcapchris on bass and @danrieser on drums. 2 sets starting at 9.

Got this Coodercaster from @waterslideguitars this week - just put slightly heavier (11.5-52) @stringjoy strings on it and I’ve been writing this etude for chords behind the slide.

- Wednesday 4/22 at the Lizard Lounge with Kevin Barry, Zachariah Hickman and John Sands (ticket link in bio)
- Saturday 4/25 at Bar Lunàtico in Brooklyn with Adam Levy, Chris Lightcap and Dan Rieser
*also*

If you want to hear about stuff in some other way, I have a newsletter - subscribe in the link in my bio - it goes out maybe once a month at most.
