It’s official, Shaul and I will be hitting the road again in the Springtime! We will be breaking out some new songs on this tour so catch us if you can.  Check back soon for dates.

Speaking of new tunes, I have completed songs for a new album and will begin the recording process very shortly.  Finishing up and recording new songs is one of my favorite parts of being a musician. It is in this stage that you see your creations come to life.  We are hoping for the new record to hit the streets by Fall, but only time will tell.

I will include the dates and places we will be playing at as soon as the tour is completely booked, which should be in a few weeks.  Until then, take care folks.

Well that concludes yet another tour.  Upon returning I am filled with a genuine sense of positivity and optimism.  Not only in music but in people- friends and strangers alike.  I feel blessed to have traveled with my friend Shaul Eshet through this vast country and share the stage with him each night. It was truly an honor to play with one of the greatest musicians I have ever known.  If you caught any of our shows I am sure you would agree.  But music aside, perhaps the greatest gift tour has to offer is the interactions with strangers and the relationships you build with people you would normally not have met.  To all the friends from the road, new and old, it’s been really spectacular spending time with you. I can’t tell you how much the early morning talks over coffee, the late night laughs on your living room floor; the ‘on the house shots’; and all the high fives and handshakes have meant to me.  Thanks you! You can catch us at Pianos in NYC this Sunday 11/22 at 11pm. See you folks soon!

Hey Folks,
It my pleasure to share with you the release of the video for my song ‘Hardwired’. Many talented, wonderful people took part in it’s creation, and I invite you to watch it here. The video was shot this past summer by Adam Cohen in upstate New York where a bunch of good friends came together for the day and did a hell of a job acting out David Silverstein’s script. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Camera and Direction- Adam Ben Cohen, Script- David Silverstein, Editing- Joaquin Portocarero, Lights- Nadav Ginosar

Hey Folks,
Fall tour is just around the corner and I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’ll be joined by my good friend Shaul Eshet who will be playing keys and percussion, and may I add that he will be doing both at the same time. See, we rigged a tom drum to his right foot and a high hat with a tamborine to his….and each foot is…. well it’s kind of hard to explain, you will just have to come see it for yourself. We have been practicing our asses off and it’s sounding pretty damn good. The tour dates and details are listed below. If we are coming to your town we better see you there! Oh and I almost forgot, the Hardwired music video is due to be released very shortly, so keep an eye out. Peace!

Hey Friends,

So I know it’s been a while since I’ve last updated here and I’m sorry for that. But I assure you it’s only because I’ve been hard at work writing, booking, and exercising regularly. There’s lots to tell you about, so let me begin. I am proud to announce that I’ll once again be joining up with Adam Cohen to create a music video for the song Hardwired. The video should be completed by the end of August and will hopefully be released sometime soon after.

I’ve also begun booking an East Coast tour for the fall. I’ll be playing this tour as part of a two piece – joined by my good friend and very talented musician Shaul Eshet. If you caught the Document Untold Spring tour ,then you saw Shaul ripping it up behind the organ. Live on the East Coast and want us to play your city? Hit me up and if there’s a venue to host us we will do our best to make it happen.

I am very grateful for the support that Document Untold has been getting over the past month. Music stations such as WGWG and WETS have been spinning the album and a number of folks have added songs on their Spotify playlists. Most notably is music curator Songpickr out of Berlin who included Hardwired on his Spotify playlist of Best Songs of 2015. He has some great music featured on his list and I urge you to check it out HERE. Also, Gobsmag out of Amsterdam recently released a kind write-up on the album which you can check out HERE.

Well I think that just about does it. Shout out to Sean Levelle of the Local 45 Carpenters Union for sending in the photo. Always protect your head Sean. Check back soon for tour dates and video release. Take care folks.

Adam

Hey friends, pleased to announce the video release of the song Salesman from the latest full length, Document Untold.   The video, which was produced by Adam Cohen, premiered last Friday by Punknews.org. You can check out their feature here or simply watch below.  I hope you all enjoy!

Coming back from tour is always a tough adjustment. Since being back I can’t help but reflect on all the new places I saw and the many wonderful people I met that will forever be etched into my mind. For 15 dates down the East Coast I had the privilege of traveling with my good friends in Pile as well as my band of amazing musicians. What a wonderful group of guys they were to travel with and what an honor it was to share the stage with them every night. Sadly, when we reached Savannah, it was time for us to part ways.  For the remaining 32 dates of the tour I would travel around the country alone in my van, where I must have slept in 25 different Walmart parking lots (Walmart allow customers to park in their lots overnight).  As daunting as this journey seemed, I knew I would not come back the same.  In Oklahoma I hung with a gang of friends who offered their house to me which they would be evicted from at the months end.  I was given a hotel room for a night by a kind hearted Texan who thought “I looked tired” and “was in terrible need of a shower”.  I saw a New Mexico sun rise from the back window of my van as I shook off the last night’s hangover.  I saw folks who barely had enough money for the weeks groceries throw their last five in a “touring band” donation basket because they felt a “touring musician needed it more than them”.  As I played to a nearly empty bar in Cleveland I was reminded of humility when a homeless man walked up to the stage and dropped change in my guitar case, saying “I wish I had more to give you.” I saw the best of this wonderful country on my two month journey and it’s been one of the most uplifting experience of my life.  People of America you are good. Thank you.

Today the fine folks at Daytrotter released the session I did with them a few weeks back while passing through on tour. Not only did they release great recordings of the session but made this stunningly accurate watercolor painting of me. Check it out HERE !

Also, I will be playing with Yael Kraus tonight at Pianos. Music starts at 8:30. I am very excited for this show since I just returned home and am looking forward to seeing NYC friends that I haven’t seen for too much time.

Hey folks,
For the past week of tour drives have been long but I finally have some time today to update the site. First off, the tour so far has been amazing. I am 37 shows in and I can’t even begin to describe how many wonderful people I have met who have shown great support. Here are some updates to as whats been going on:

Yesterday in Rock Island, Illinois I was fortunate enough to have played a Daytrotter session. Thank you so much Ian and Sean for the opportunity to play at your studio, it was amazing. Be sure to check up on their website, for the release of the recordings.

Vinyls of “Document Untold” are in and you can order them on bandcamp . CD’s and digital downloads are also available. Punknews.org recently wrote a great review of the album which you can check out here .

Future plans are in the works for a European tour in the fall. If any one has any helpful contacts over there please contact me. More news on this to follow.

I would also like to congratulate my friends in Pile for their amazing new record they just released called “You’re Better than This”. Make sure to check it out. Also, my buddy Yazan just released new material as well which is also amazing. I am proud to have gotten the opportunity to travel with all those guys for the first leg of tour. They are greatly missed.
I have added a few shows in NYC for when I return so New York people be sure to check them out. Well I think that just about does it. 6 more shows then back home. More news to come!
