Lyrics:

The Way Out

One time he told himself to believe
Ever since then this is what he will be

He gonna find the, he gonna find, the way out

So get used to an arm lengths distance
Curtains folding dark as a cave

For those instants hold your fists
Hey son, you’re out on your own

Anyway, these techno synth beats had the crowd totally amped up.

If you want to attend these events in the future… Continue reading

Jeff Pevar at P&G’s

A bit late on this blog entry, but last Tuesday I had the opportunity to see Jeff Pevar at P&G’s on the Upper West Side. I’ve been a huge fan of Jeff since my early days of learning guitar, ever since I saw him play with Max Creek as a guest performer in Hartford back in the 90’s.

He was awesome then, and he’s awesome now. He joined the… Continue reading
