The NAIL-ing List: Neil Alexander's News & Happenings
Welcome to the May 2015 Issue of
The NAIL-ing List
Spring has finally arrived! (And so has my Moog Sub 37 Synth, and man does this thing sound badass.) But it was a rough winter... As some of you know, I was down with the flu for just over 2 weeks(!) - I cancelled a variety of things including the April Wired Wednesday. But I'm back on track; I even made it to my "Day Late & A Dollar Short" celebration. THANKS to all those that came out to join the festivities! Since then the schedule's been busier than ever, with new gigs being added practically every day! The 2nd half of April ended up being so busy I've barely had time to update the web calendar. Here's what's coming up in May so far...
Mr Gone returns to Maxfields!! Once again we will grace the stage of this fine eating & drinking establishment with a mind altering excursion into that music we all love so much. Special guest drummer Karl Latham joins us for this one, along with Pete Furlan (sax), Ratzo Harris (basses) and yours truly on the synthesizers (sympathizers?). There's a $10 music charge but don't let that deter you - we'll tear it up in style and make it worth your while. :)
Newburgh Free Library
124 Grand Street Newburgh NY
If you love electronic music, then join us at the Newburgh Free Library for my monthlyElectronic Music Meetup "Wired Wednesdays", which is now on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. I'll be bringing in hands-on tech doing more focused presentations and featuring special guests. Since I was sick last month, I'll stick to what I was going to do in April, Essentials of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). As always, this series is free to the community at large. If you like, you can RSVP
on Meetup.com or on Facebook.
