A great night at The Duplex

Sunday’s show at The Duplex was a lot of fun! Thanks so much to everyone who came out and helped make it a big success. I was inspired to play “Fun to Be Fem” for the first time in over a decade! I was very gratified to receive this review from guitarist/producer Robert Urban:

“Last night we attended our current featured artist – Pete Sturman’s – sold out solo show at the Duplex here in NYC (my first time seeing him live). A remarkable troubadour/wordsmith – beloved by his audience. Friends and fans called out requests from his extensive catalog of gay-themed ballads, anthems and comedic songs. And Pete graciously pulled ‘em out of his hat on the spot.  The crowd seemed to hang on his every word. A lovely vibe was shared by all. 

“All during the show I kept thinking to myself: if ever there was a Bob Dylan for the gay community, this guy’s the one.”

My trip to New Orleans was wonderful. The Thing About It was really great! While it was not without its flaws (that’s the nature of a workshop, to try things out), it was really fascinating to see and hear  the songs done by actors and to see how well the music worked in that context. [...]

Off to New Orleans!

Check out Gay Guitarists Worldwide where Robert Urban has run a feature on me this month – he reviews Son of a Gun and True Stories and posts a pretty meaty interview. Thanks Robert! And be sure to check out the other talented LGBT artists who are featured there.

Keep the emails and comments coming, I’m loving hearing from you all. For the really motivated among you, please consider writing a review on iTunes! The album looks so lonely up there without any stars or reviews.

Pete has prepared a new batch of songs for your listening pleasure, and I’ve been helping him get the packaging prettified and sending it off to iTunes-land, and he also asked if maybe we could spruce up the website a bit, while we’re at it.
