February 18, 2014 with Pierce and Alex Reynolds
The Reynolds brothers were my special guests this evening.

February 4, 2014 with Joe Wisniewski
Joe Wisniewski is one of the DJs behind Berkeley’s long-running monthly Britpop/shoegaze dance party, Happy Endings, and I was lucky that he chose to spend his birthday eve celebrating with me behind the turntables. The night covered a lot of ground, from psych to soul, from the Black Angels to the Carpenters. Check out the […]

2014 in the forest kicked off with the triumphant return of Dan Austin, aka DJ Hairy Nilsson, who once again brought only the good stuff – top shelf soul and funk platters. But that’s not even close to all – Ian Lee Lamb also performed a very special solo set with his silky pipes, which […]

December 10, 2013 with Ben Luckett
Ben Luckett made his long awaited debut as a guest in the forest, and it was worth the wait. Awesome feel-good grooves all night, with honky tonk, rock’n’roll and NOLA R&B tunes abound. We both brought a copy of the Meters “They All Ask’d for You” on 45, if that tells you anything. Check it […]
November 26, 2013 with Adam Stanfel (Pizzagiving)
For the past three years, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at the Loving Touch has become the fast-growing holiday of Pizzagiving, an all-pizza potluck. This year’s party was the biggest yet, and I was lucky to have the always amazing Adam Stanfel at my side for a fantastic night of r&b, popcorn and rock and roll […]
November 12, 2013 with Remnose
Local band Remnose made their forest debut, bringing their favorite records to play and also performing a live set that impressed many with their tight brother-led harmonies and Neutral-Milk-Hotel-esque sensibilities.
