Kicking off 2006

Mamacita, what a loco month for music. Thanks to all who rolled through the inconvenience of the transit strike in NYC and joined us for a great night of music at Irving Plaza. We sold out the room and the energy surrounding the release of the CD was ovewhelmingly positive. I was on top of the world sharing the stage with State Radio, Pete Francis, Braddigan, Stephen Kellogg and Kate Voegele - so much great music to be heard. All told there were over 1000 in attendance and we raised over $25,000 towards the relief project and our NPO partners. We also collected over 2000 pounds of food for NYC Chair. Braddigan and I are in the process of putting together one or two more shows this year in Chicago, DC, and or Philly so check out thereliefproject.org for more details and to purchase your copy of The Relief Project, Vol. 1.

Last week I finished up the final tracks on my upcoming CD release, The General Store. I am really proud of the writing and production and certainly can't wait to share it with you very soon. I am in the process of booking prep schools, colleges, and venues for the spring so if you have a place I should check out, by all means please drop me a line and let me know. For more information on shows and the release date please check out jeborgenmusic.com. Next week you'll be able to pre order your copy.

Be well and in good spirits.
