My friends know my history with the Alley Cat. Some of my first “shows” were playing at the Friday open mic nights. I remember the excitement I always had stepping onto that small stage tucked into a corner behind a sea of tables and flipping the switch on my latest circuit bent saxophone or keyboard. The PA was always shit, some of the people were annoyed at whatever noise I was generating out of my early suitcase set ups, but I was having fun. I met many of my long-term friends and fans during these nights. The Alley Cat’s business is now suffering from the ridiculous labyrinth of fences and new construction. Tonight I’m super excited to head back there to play a benefit show.
