Skeptic Video (Live at AfterHours - 9/28)

Here's a video of the tune I opened with from the show at AfterHours last Saturday night, "Skeptic":

Thanks to Ari for filming it, and a special thanks to Nicole, Sarah, Sam, and Pat.  You guys rock - so much love to y'all.

I didn't get to play the set I originally planned out for the show as there was a misunderstanding when the show was booked and I did not have nearly enough time to play it or set up for it (so instead I played different material that made more sense to play in the moment).  So at some point I'm excited to share an hour long conceptual set about love, time travel, and car crashes...And there are more shows I'm playing coming up soon!!!  There may be a Halloween set that you won't want to miss if you're a 90's fan.  And I'll be playing a house show in Providence with Hoot and Holler on November 9th!  Stay tuned for more details!

Thanks again!

Mike

Upcoming Shows - Fall 2013

It's officially Fall, which in New England means: pumpkin beer (and pumpkin everything for that matter), gorgeous foliage, lots of amazing food, and most excitingly - that it's CONCERT SEASON! Here's some of the shows coming up this season that I'm really excited for:

9/28 - Mike Simonelli - AfterHours at NorthEastern (Free)

9/30 - Kneebody - The Red Room @ Cafe 939

10/5 - Bill Callahan - The Sinclair in Cambridge

10/11 - Nine Inch Nails & Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Mohegan Sun Arena (CT)

(Also playing at TD Garden in Boston)

10/25 - PHISH - DCU Center in Worcester

I'll be playing an hour long set of original and re-imagined material at AfterHours at NorthEastern on Saturday, September 28th at 10:00 PM.  There's no bar there (just a Starbucks), but since the show will end by 11:00, anyone who's interested can come grab drinks after somewhere nearby.  Rhode Island folks and other folks who are traveling relatively far are more than welcome to crash at my pad in JP after if they don't want to commute back that night.
