Please take a minute and read about this amazing organization.

Cedric Burnside sat in with Lubriphonic at Downtown After Five in Asheville, NC The language of music is universal!

We had a blast!

Chicago show at The Double Door April 1st 2011

We just finished the first leg of our Winter tour-- a Thursday through Saturday run across the snowy Northeast.  We started at the Brooklyn Bowl in NYC.  The city was literally buried in snow, with cars and trucks slolemning down the streets bordered by 5-foot tall snowbanks.  It was some white-knuckle driving, for sure.  But we made it, and got down with some awesomely undeterred Brooklynites.
Next was the Thunderbird in Pittsburgh on Friday.  I love this place.  It's such a good buzz in there.  Oh yeah... and it snowed all day.  But, we still got down with some awesomely undeterred Yinzers.
Finally, the Beachland Ballroom Tavern in Cleveland.  Also small, but with a great vibe (and a home-cooked meal for the band!).  Oh yeah.... and it snowed all day.  But, we got down with still another group of awesomely undeterred folk.  Cleveland rocks!
That's all I got, for now.  Next stop is Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo MI.... where it snows all the time.

So, we've traversed the trickiness of The Holidays.  We've vaulted over New Year's Eve.  And, we have survived the doldrums of early January.  It's time for 2011 to begin.
Actually, we in Lubriphonic had two great Chicago shows this Winter season. December 29 we had a fantastic time playing a show at the Metro with New Mastersounds (www.newmastersounds.com)  for an Umphrey's after-party.  Then, just about a week later, we had the honor of opening for Buddy Guy at his club (www.buddyguys.com)  on January 7.   Both shows made the frozen tundra just a little warmer. But it's time to leave home again.
The Lubriphonic winter tour of 2011 will soon be underway.  At the end of this month, we'll be playing Kalamazoo MI, Brooklyn NY, Pittsburgh PA, and Cleveland OH.  Then, in February we will start in the Midwest and move to the warmer climes of the Southeast, ending on Feb. 26 at Tipitina's in New Orleans opening for Anders Osbourne and George Porter.  Between January 21 and February 26, we will play 26 shows in 37 days, in 14 states.  And I ain't even got into March yet. 
Check online (our site, facebook, myspace, etc...) for more details.  We are coming to your town sometime in 2011 and we'd love to see you.

In 2010… I swam in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans; crossed the Sierra Nevada, Rocky, Appalachian, Blue Ridge, and Smokey Mountain Ranges; almost fell off a mountain in Durango; came up 315 mph short of the land speed record on the salt flats; heard Maceo Parker say my band’s name over the microphone in Denver; saw Jeff Beck play some of the best guitar ever at Jazz Fest in New Orleans; left my heart in San Francisco twice; saw THE penthouse of NYC; rode in a cab in LA with a Russian mobster; played a show atop a school bus in Iowa City; got my Mom and Dad to come see me at a hippie fest. Imma lucky s.o.b.

Lubriphonic is playing a cd release show at Double Door Saturday night! Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band is also playing on the show.

Get some Lube!

The band has had a crazy touring schedule taking us all over the country.  Our booking agent Dan at Progressive Global is rocking!  We have been grabbing a couple days in the studio in between legs of the tour to get the tracks down for the new album.  I am glad to say it is almost finished!  With only one more session planned we are on to the artwork phase.  Ivan Nevilles contribution is really cool.  Nice to have him & Andrew both playing keys!
