Good Evening Folks,

We have a show coming up on Saturday January 3, 2026 at Young Ethel's in Brooklyn featuring MC Jack Silbert, James Bally Solo, Subskin Cables Duo, the RB Band, and all the way from Baltimore, The Majesties. The Majesties are performing the next night at the David Berman Tribute Show at the Bowery Ballroom. Come see them in an intimate space, Young Ethel's. Located in the South Slope.

They will be doing David Berman songs as well as their great original songs. We have some surprises in store, including MC Silbert singing a David Bowie song accompanied by James Bally. We are in the early slot, the music starts at 6:00pm and ends at 8:30pm.

The Season is upon us. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Winter Vibes. Until we meet again...

Yes, it’s been a while. After FB, IG, DMs and too many texts, I realized I missed posting on my blog. It is fun and relaxed way to communicate with the world. Lots of news...I'll get current and go back later on. I have a show with my HOT band this coming Saturday February 8 at Young Ethel's in Park Slope. We go on at 9pm. We meaning, Brad Kleiman on guitar/voice, James keyboard/voice, Kilian Winn bass/voice, and Craig Redmond on drums. Such fine sensitive musicians. It’s a special bill with 178 Product featuring the legendary Sal P singing and playing drums. Subskin Cables one of the best rock bands in the world, just great inventive, beautiful rock music, and the one & only Jack Silbert as the Master of Ceremonies.

Posting a couple of pictures of the Bally Family Band's most recent gig, 5/4/14 Bank Square Coffeehouse in Beacon NY has the nicest brick patio on the Eastern Seaboard. Most folks are inside, no outlets on the patio. For the audience who sat outside, we played an extra special set. Nick Burka on trumpet sat in and was terrrfic. Our opener/closer Jah Light (Augustus Pablo) was really nice and the song Bitter Love from my album Faker moved into another realm.

Nick Burka, James Bally, Ray Bally3, RB & my man, the most talented Brad Kleiman.

Dennis and I performed at the Nyack Village Theater Friday night 11/4/11. Sean "Huge Pupils" and Don put together a great night. Ken Timber, True Key and The Widdler performed excellent sets. The guitar improv duet came about over the past few years. When Dennis and I would rehearse our respective songs, we would always end with guitar jams. Lately, we focused only on the jams. Sean approached Dennis at the Blast Gallery and voila, performing here in this 18 minute video of our performance. One of the best things I've ever done.
