Flying solo, tech stuff and SHACKLETON teaser at Joe’s Pub

October 16, 2009 – 2:45 pm

I have to say, I feel rather triumphant, after my first-ever totally solo gig, doing a 25-minute presentation of ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME at Joe’s Pub as part of the Public Theater’s Music Theater Initiative.
My trip started out pretty ignominiously, as I arrived at the airport in St. Louis without my driver’s license…apparently I had [...]

This demo consists of Brendan singing and playing fake banjo, fake violin, and fake everything, but the live performance [...]

Less gritty, more beautiful

January 28, 2009 – 1:32 pm

It’s been a whirlwind month, eventful for all of us to say the least. After returning from California to the rude shock of the frigid Brooklyn winter, we warmed our fingers and our hearts at the wonderful Zipper Factory Theatre in Manhattan, where we did seven performances of STRIKING 12 in concert, and filmed 3 [...]
