February Dates 2025 and MORE!!

Playing some drums earlier today, thought I would share. Videos are on the edit right now and I should upload soon. Check out the rest of my February gig dates here 

I am grateful for the work and an honest way to express my self creatively. Thank you, Universe.

In other news, my email for my latest Apple Account has been hacked. Not verifying I am me after 2fa, etc. This has happened to every apple ID/account I have ever owned. My internet is monitored by dusty gremlins, I think. Any ways, I am looking forward to having my email back, along with my iPhone that was stolen in October, my glasses that were stolen in December and other various odds and ends.

And I was today years old when I learned that my buy me a coffee website has been cloned? There are listings in Italian and Spanish. I didnt do that. Any ideas? I have a venmo and Paypal, check out my link tree for the details

Funny story, On January 7th it was 47 degrees at sunset. I showed up to my gig outside on the tiki bar and assumed I would play inside, after I was instructed I would play outside or not at all, I played outside to no one (everyone was inside) next day I received an email that the rest of my 2025 dates were cancelled…On January 28th it was beautiful Sunday after noon,  75 degrees and sunny, another venue with a tiki bar. I set up and I am told they are not going to pay me because they didn’t make any money all week because it was so cold out. So I offered to play for tips, they didn’t even offer me a water or any food during my 2 hour free performance say hello or goodbye. I made over 100 in tips though. They turned the TV’s up really loud, so loud that I could hear them over my music from the speakers. The bar manager approached and entered the stage and said “I could play til 4” I could barely hear him, it was 3:43 so I called it a day. I wrote the events manager, and then they also told me that I was no longer on any of the dates that I had been booked. Both of these venues had been on my schedule since August 2024.

One more venue, right before New years, during my 1st set, the AS manager approaches the stage and demands that “he needs the tent now.” The tent had lights and electricity and without the tent I would have neither. So I said, while I was in the middle of a song, could this possibly wait until after the event tonight? Aggressive is an understatement for how I was receiving his energy. He left, I played my set til 9pm, then several of us dismantled the tent, which sat there, because when I went back there the next day to pick up my check, it was still in the same spot. That venue wont return my texts calls or emails.

I was promised tons of dates, collectively, this is over $3000 loss of income at no fault of my own. I am adding a link to my buy me a coffee website. I am not saying that these incidents are related but they were all long standing dates on my calendar, where I turned down other work offers etc. I didn’t include the names of the venues yet, because I am still holding out hope that they will reconsider and have me back, I am not interested in burning bridges.

But I was terribly mistreated, and I really need this income. I am a working musician. And this was just fuckery.

Anyways thanks for reading my blog. I will write again on how the mistreatment extends to many parts of my life (just about all parts) and how this should stop.
