ROCKWOOD MUSIC HALL SEA OF CLOUDS SOLO ALBUM RELEASE SHOW,
17 AUGUST 2009

192kbps (gap-free) mp3s from my Sea of Clouds solo album release show at Rockwood Music Hall on 17 August 2009... not sure exactly what got into me, but I was particularly chatty... I've made sure to isolate all of the songs onto their own tracks so you need not put up with this chatty chap if you wish not to.

Guests include Brian Collazo of Live Society on "Get Yourself Together," and Dave Pittenger playing piano on "Hide in Me."
