Gig Journal – Market Square Day
Jun 13

June is fickle. Or maybe, we’re fickle to believe it consists purely of warm breezes, strong sun, and hands covered in melted ice cream. Market Square Day seems to be snake bitten. It rains more often than not, and my last memory of playing (or not playing) this event is from 2006, when we had to cancel due to strong downpours and winds so strong they took down the steeple scaffolding on the North Church (although, perhaps that’s a mixed memory).
This year was my first visit to Market Square Day as a solo artist. All week long, the forecast called for ‘sunny and 70.’ As the week progressed, it was moved to ‘partly-sunny and 68,’ ‘cloudy and 65,’ and eventually (you guessed it), ‘cold (58) and rainy.’ But I’ve never been more determined to play this event. Perhaps it’s because I knew I could pull it off by my lonesome (much tougher when you have drums and amps to consider), but I think deep inside, I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t going to be knee-buckled by other Nature’s slow curve ball again. I was going to swing from the heels and see what I could do with it.
How You Can Help Promote Razed and Reconstructed
May 05
My new album’s been out for roughly eight months. Maybe you’ve heard it. One of the biggest questions I get these days is, How can I help you promote your record? This may or may not be true, but hey, helping is easy. And what’s more, you can pick nearly all of these things off in less than the time it took you to read this verbose intro. What’s even more apparent is that I’m now an army of one, so any and all assistant is truly appreciated. More items to follow next month.
‘Gun’ Wins Spotlight Award for Single of the Year
Apr 15
Last night was incredible. I got to play at one of the finest venues in New England with a band comprised of incredible musicians at the 17th Annual Spotlight on the Arts Awards, held at the Portsmouth (NH) Music Hall. I also got to catch up with so many old friends while meeting a bunch of new folks who will be carrying the musical torch for the Seacoast area for years to come.

Mar 09
I’ve spent many hours toiling over gig journals since PJudd first went online back in ’99. I must admit, I’ve been lazy about it recently, so it’s always nice when a friend and fan is willing to do the work for you. Here’s a review of my South Berwick Library Benefit Show I did with good friends Courtney Brocks, Jesse Dold, and Eric Ott at the Spring Hill Lodge (South Berwick, ME) on Saturday, March 5, submitted by Marshall White.
