Eric Andersen - "Singin Man" NERFA
Here is a video from the 2015 NERFA conference: me backing up my old pal Eric Andersen singing a song he wrote after seeing me do my thing on the street in Paris about 30 years ago! Funny how things come around again... We look awfully serious, but it's just sleep deprivation--we were having fun! That's Cheryl Praksher on the percussion.
Joe Flood - "Deep Sleep Blue"
Another sleep-deprivation video from the NERFA conference, this one from 2014, of the appropriately titled and themed "Deep Sleep Blue."

A MULTIMEDIA MUSICAL TRIBUTE
to Middletown's Famous 19th Century Songwriters
featuring (in alphabetical order)
Rani Arbo (vocals)
Tom Callinan (vocals)
Michael Cleary (guitar and voclas)
Vince De Laria (keyboards)

Joe Flood (guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals, etc.)
Scott Kessel (drums and percussion)
Fred Moses (percussion, vocals)

As the promo says, "Joe Flood has organized some of Middletown's brightest musical lights to interpret the songs of Middletown's own Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), Reginald de Koven (1859-1920) and broadside poet Edward Barrett (1817-1914)."
And as you can read below (a couple of posts back), I got two grants from the Middletown Commission on the Arts and the Connecticut Humanities Council to create this piece, and I am really excited to be bringing all of these great musicians together along with several of our favorite local radio hosts to read period texts about these songwriters' lives and times. Please come!
Tickets are available from the Greater Middletown Concert Association here.
