We're very pleased to announce a special April residency at Pianos in NYC on the 4, 11, and 18. Each night we'll hit the stage around 9:30pm. All three shows will be comprised of an entirely different setlist featuring brand new songs, very old songs, covers, and all of our currents. The April 11 show will be a stripped-down / acoustic performance to benefit the New York Center For Autism. We hope to see you at one or all of them.
