December starts off with a couple midweek Open House sets. On Tuesday December 1st I'll be at Artistic Roots in Plymouth, playing a piano set from 6 to 8pm. And Thursday December 3rd is an Open House in Holderness at the Veggie Art Girl Boutique and Taylor Made Graphics. That one's from 5 to 8pm.
On Friday night (December 4) I'll be at Tony's Italian Grille & Pub in Thornton for a solo show. That one's from 6:30 to 9:30pm. I might be going back to Burlington next week for another dueling pianos show at Ri Ra; I'm awaiting confirmation on that one.
In other news, work on the CD is continuing. I've got it roughly half-done. Pop over to my Facebook page and you can preview a few tracks. Or listen to 'em right here on that fancy music playin' thingy on the right.

A long-overdue update.
Man. Has it been that long? I guess it has. Sorry for my apparent absence; it's been busy, and thank Goodness for it. October was a bleak month, but November is making up for it, thanks in large part to the dueling pianos show in Burlington every Thursday. I'm headed back tonight, in fact. Friday is a night off, and then Saturday I'm playing a benefit at the Littleton NH Elks Lodge with classic rockers No Limitz.
In other news, my novel is way behind schedule; I've simply had more important stuff to work on. But it is still an intriguing project to me, and I continue to give it the old college try.
In the studio, I have made improvements in my mixdown techniques, and I've got the new CD about half in the can. You may not be able to order it in time for Christmas, but it'll get done, by God.
And I'm starting to put ideas together to revamp my main web site (www.jimtyrrell.net). It's been sitting dormant for a while, with this blog getting what attentions I can pay these days. But I want jimtyrrell.net to be the hub for all my web doings, so I'm working that out.

Dueling Pianos.
I played an interesting show last Thursday. Having responded to an ad on Craigslist, I found myself in Burlington playing one half of a Dueling Pianos show at the Ri Ra Irish Pub. It went pretty well; in fact, I will be back there every Thursday for the next four weeks, and again the Wednesday after that. Ed McCarron is the other performer, and the guy is GOOD.In other news, I've got a crazy idea for a book for National Novel Writing Month. November is a pretty busy month for me, but I might try to squeeze in a 50,000 word novel in my spare time. We'll see. More details as/if the idea develops.

On the radio (and on the road).
Tomorrow (Friday) morning I'll be playing live on the local radio station. The fine folks at The Planet 100.1fm (WPNH) have invited me back to preview a track or two from the upcoming album on the Daily Planet Morning Show. It's gonna be an early one; I'll be on sometime between 6 and 7am.
At 8pm Friday night I'll be playing a solo show at Shooter's Tavern and Pizzaria in Belmont, NH. It's been a while since I've been down there. Very good pizza.
Saturday is a show at the Woodsville American Legion with No Limitz. It's a pretty big fundraiser, from what I'm told. A $100 ticket sort of thing, with big giveaways and stuff. I don't think anyone's ever paid $100 to see me play a show. I hope dinner comes with that!

Onward.
Remember that CD I was working on? Well, I'm still working on it. But at least it's moving forward. Matter of fact, I've got a song you can preview. And you can find it on my Facebook page. Pop on over and check it out!

This weekend.
It's been a slow week, which is kind of nice. I was able to get into the studio and work on fine-tuning the setup a bit. I do have a couple shows coming up on Saturday. The Warner Fall Foliage Festival is a busy and quaint affair, and (Who Are The) Brain Police will be horrifying midday passersby with Ramones and Toadies covers. And later that night I'm playing at The Black Cat Cafe with No Limitz. As for solo appearances, the next one is Friday, October 16 at Shooter's Tavern and Pizzaria in Belmont.
In other news, I'm talking to the fine folks at The Planet (100.1fm) about stopping in on the morning show and playing a couple songs from the upcoming CD. I'll update once I've got more info.

Busy!
Well, for a month that was supposed to be a slowdown in gigs, it sure got off to a busy start. On Thursday I was at the Country Cow in Campton, playing a solo show on Pizza Night. Doesn't get much better than that. I love playing the Cow because it's a nice comfortable room and it's close to home. A relatively early show, too; I'm usually done around 10pm.
The next night I played with No Limitz at the American Legion up in Littleton. It was our first time up there, and we were well-received. It looked like it was a pretty lucrative fundraiser for them, too, which is nice.
Saturday was the Cancer Walk in Plymouth, and I serenaded the walkers who didn't let the weather stop them from doing a VERY good thing. Miss New Hampshire was there, and she got up and sang a song with me.
That night I played with (Who Are The) Brain Police at the Bridgewater Inn. Good crowd there. And on Sunday, I filled in for Jackie Lee as host of the open mike at the Sunset Grill in Campton. Another local room that is always a nice place to play. And I treated myself to a mulled cider with spiced rum in it. Mmm.
This week is actually a bit slower (so far; we'll see who calls). This Saturday I'll be playing a day show in Warner with (Who Are The) Brain Police, and No Limitz is at the Black Cat Cafe that night.
