The World’s Fair and I returned to Brooklyn to not only to celebrate my birthday, but to play THREE new songs! I am always thrilled to no end when you come to our show, so thank you! Can you hear yourself clapping on “Old Man Blues”?

Fantastic show! Freddy's is like playing on an ancient indian burial ground, only with more dancing...and beer! Is Freddy's going to survive? If not, we gave it a fiery farewell. A solid A. And thanks to Jason Reese (who made this site!) for his sizzling sax playing. Excelsior!
And, check out the Videos section--we have five new clips from the Parkside Lounge in NYC from 2009!

Happy new year!
Click on the link "buy on iTunes" and you can get our brand-new album. Then, you'll be prepared for our upcoming shows. I'm looking forward to giving Freddy's a decent sendoff (it's being torn down so the NJ Nets can build their new arena in the neighborhood. Good grief!) We'll see you on Boot Hill.
