Hotel Chelsea (01.06.26)


Oh hi. I'm catching up on some blogs that I sort of blew off. And I think I accidentally deleted the pics from this show. Whoops.

But it was my first show of 2026, and it went well. Despite nothing being truly well in this era of shit, some things are still okay. My only note about this show: I debuted "Afterlife" by Alex G, and it turned out to be a great song to play live. To do so, I pulled up a video of Alex himself, performing the song pretty much solo at the Newport Folk Festival, and then — clamping my capo all the way at the eighth fret like he does — did it that way.


Hotel Chelsea set list...
Northern Sky (Nick Drake)
Help Me (Joni Mitchell) 
Ashes to Ashes (David Bowie)
Jack Straw (Grateful Dead)
Say Goodbye (Beck)
*Afterlife (Alex G)
Friday I'm In Love (The Cure)
Rock and Roll Woman (Buffalo Springfield)
Dead Flowers (Rolling Stones) 
1979 (Smashing Pumpkins) 
If You Could Only See (Tonic) 
Radio Free Europe (R.E.M.)

*Indicates the first time I've performed this song in Second Life.

Thanks to everyone who helped support this show!
