Video Performance 02.13.10 Lowell MA and upcoming series at Outpost



Hi folks,

I'll be doing video improvisations at 119 Gallery (my favorite 
perfomance space) with two of my favorite musicians, the duet of 
Kevin Frenette, guitar and Forbes Graham, trumpet. Here is what Kevin 
has to say about the duet.
