Music at the Rhode Island Film Festival 2008

Today I received exciting news from director Michele Meek.

Her short film Red Sneakers, which I composed the music for, will be screened at the Rhode Island Film Festival this summer.

Here's a little taste of the MUSIC from the score if you're interested.

I composed this piece back in December of 2007. I imagined children skipping and playing on a gentle spring day to inspire the flow and melody of the music.

I am looking forward to Spring here in New England.

Thanks for listening!

Club d'Elf, Medeski and 10 years at the Lizard Lounge

Tonight is going to be exciting. I am excited anyway...

Mike Rivard's wonderful band Club d'Elf is celebrating a 10 year residency at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA. Tonight they are joined by John Medeski one of the warmest and most exciting keyboard players you will ever hear. The Lizard Lounge is an amazing location to listen to both Club d'Elf and Medeski as it is a very intimate venue. There aren't many clubs where you can stand right next to a musician like Medeski while he is playing. if you dared to, you could reach out and give him a pat on the back in appreciation. He does get pretty sweaty though, so I suggest a little self control.

I had the opportunity to mix the title track of Club d'Elf's recent studio release "Now I Understand" please check it out on the Club d'Elf merch page.

Thanks for listening!
