Sidebar, 3-20 wrap-up.

with Entertainment System,
Pieness,
Scout,
and
Markitect.
It was one of those nights where I might have had too long to hang around, resulting in a very “balls-to the wall” sort of effort that can only happen when you’re musically backed-up are really hyped up to perform.

Markitect opened the show playing with a guitar/laptop one man band set-up, a la Atom and His Package, and had a very professorly way about him as he explained his songs and responded to the crowd (or to the dumb comments I made). Pieness’ video game based solo act was a big hit, a great lead-in for the Entertainment System, who really rocked this evening. I really felt like there was a good fit here, with fans who truly grasped the esoterics of the video-gaming world. Scout played with great energy and seemed to win a number of fans from those assembled, even though this was the only non-electronic or video-game related act of the night.

My act was an attempt to move forward in the land of Davey G. I tried out some new things, played with two keyboards and did five songs I’d never before played live. It was a little bit of a curveball for me, and I think that was good. I might not want to scream so much next time, but it worked for this show.
I couldn’t find my bag with the lotion in it for that bit, but I started playing anyway while everyone hunched down in that “searching” position to look for it, to much unplanned amusement. Matty found it and the result of the search was the satisfying conclusion to a great show of 2008.

All in all, it was a good bill of many worthy champions of the Baltimore music machine, and I was proud to have helped put it together. I am thankful to everyone who came out for this, and as always, a big thanks to the Sidebar for having me.

See you next time!

Something Very Special for Tonight.



Although the scheduled release date for the new Davezine #13 is not until March 31, for a limited (and I mean very limited) few, I have made advance copies, which will be available tonight at the Davey G and the Keyboard show at the Sidebar.

So if you are thinking about coming out, and need another reason, put availability of Davezine #13, The Rise of the Collective on your list.

See you there!

After St. Patty's Day...



Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

After this day is done (I work at an Irish Pub, so I will be glad when the busiest days of the year are over!) and you’ve had a few days to recover, I invite you to check out a great show: my first of 2008, and my first with my new dual-keyboard set-up.
This Thursday, Sidebar Tavern, 218 E. Lexington Street in Baltimore!

Davey G and the Keyboard, Entertainment System, Pieness, Scout, and Markitect.


Hope to see you there!

10 reasons why you should see the next Davey G and the Keyboard show




1. You haven’t seen me since November.
2. I’m going to be playing 5 songs that I have never before done live.
3. It’s your chance to see a grown man covering himself in lotion.
4. All the accompanying acts are great, hand-picked by Davey G!
5. You loved the new CD, but you missed the CD release.
6. You never got the new CD, and you really want it.
7. It’s on a Thursday, so if it sucks, at least you’ve still got the weekend (joke stolen from the late Richard Jeni)
8. The Cosby show has been off the air for years, so your Thursday should be free.
9. Speaking of TV…maybe somebody can TIVO “Lost” and we can make a party out of it the next night.
10. If you’ve never seen me before, then this would be a great chance. If you’ve never seen me before, man, where’ve you been?


Next Thursday at the Sidebar, 8 p.m. See you there!
