Next, check out this youtube video caught by an audience member at the Tribes Hill “River Songs” concert on October 25th. An amazing group of artists came together to honor the Quadricentennial of Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Hudson River. There’s actually a professional video of the whole event coming out, but I’m caught here on fan-video performing the song “Old North River”, which I wrote for the event so you don’t have to wait.

First, WFUV’s John Platt has nominated me to be part of the Suzi Wollenberg DJ Showcase that kicks off this year’s NERFA conference on Thursday night, Nov. 12. NERFA is the big North East Regional Folk Alliance Conference. It attracts artists and venues from all over and is critical to our growing in the region.

Each Folk-DJ nominates only one artist (and I believe one alternate) to perform. John has been a huge supporter this year and I’m incredibly grateful to him. Please continue to support WFUV and listener-funded stations like it. Folk DJ’s are the singers of our songs and the believers in our dreams, and we couldn’t do this without them.

Next, I was also selected by a panel of judges to perform a NERFA Tricentric Showcase – one of only 30 artists from throughout the U.S. and Canada invited to do so. The NERFA Tricentric alumni-list is filled with some of the best names in Folk, Roots and Americana. It’s a joy and a huge honor to be part of it!

Lastly, I know I told y’all that Michael Kornfeld, PR strategist and the creator of AcousticMusicScene.com, is now my manager. But, what you don’t know is that Trespass Music, a Massachusetts-based agency headed by Tracey Delfino — which also represents such artists as Danielle Miraglia and Les Sampou — has signed me to its roster and is now helping me to secure more gigs across the Northeast and beyond.

Tracey has been a friend for the last year. I’m so excited to have her as part of my team, and I’m grateful to join a roster that has been growing quickly and getting a lot of attention this past year.

This appearance will also help to promote the Tribes Hill River Songs concert, taking place on Oct 25th at the Beczak Environmental Education Center in Yonkers, NY. Please visit www.tribeshill.com for more details about that show.

Beczak Environmental Education Center is a non-profit organization that presents exhibits and programs for all ages to raise environmental awareness and to encourage informed stewardship of rivers.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation calls Beczaks rehabilitated property an environmental recovery success story. Located on the banks of the Hudson in the City of Yonkers, at River Mile 18, this spacious interpretive center is an adaptive reuse of the former social club for Habirshaw Cable & Wire Co.

Marty’s Flux Capacitor

I know that there are some folks out there who like what I’m doing in concept, but might not really be interested in a new CD for their collection. These are the one’s who believe in supporting dreams and also folks who might be working on a tight budget and can only give a little bit. That’s ok! Everyone’s welcome here!

My wife has a friend named Marty who had the idea of a micro-donation. So I’ve created “Marty’s Flux Capacitor” so you can donate as much or as little as you’re able.

Music promoter Peter Holmstedt, proprietor of Firma Hemifrån, has been hired to promote the Joe Iadanza/Jenee Halstead current releases and upcoming European tour. He has been receiving shipments of CDs from us over the last couple of weeks, and we’re already starting to see a bunch of plays on international radio and some nice reviews too.

Hemifrån has worked with some wonderful artists including Jackson Brown, James Taylor, and fellow up-and-comers like Abi Tapia and Amy Speace. You can find out more about Hemifrån at http://www.hemifran.com

This nicely rounds out our overseas team, along with the Netherlands-based Blues-n-Roots agency who has been helping out with the booking. Check them out at http://bluesnroots.nl
