In October 2020 I did a 6 date tour of the west coast to promote my album 'End Of The Night'. I recruited three of the people who played on the album: Lori Goldston on cello, Luther Gray on drums and Greg Kelley on trumpet, and asked Dave Abramson to join on drums too (I'd asked both Luther and Dave if they could tour, figuring one would say no...they both said yes... I immediately thought: BOTH). The shows were a blast, I felt elated and so lucky to work with such a cool band. We had amazing people on the bills with us every night, the whole thing was momentous. 'End Of The Night' is in some ways about leaving the west and so returning and performing the album felt heady. I'm greatly indebted to the other 4 players for helping all this take form. // All songs are from EOTN except 'Into The Woods' and 'The Appetites' which are from GAMBLER'S ECSTASY and 'Bathhouse' which is from RED CITIES. Thanks to Mickey Darius for recording, Emily Hobson for band photo, David Michael Curry for transfer, everyone who came to the shows, you for listening.

The depth of the songs and sonics is profound, throughout this. I happened to run into Chris in Vermont and he humbly didn't mention what he'd been up to. Extremely happy I went on my own and found this brand new release; a GEM. David Fenichel
