NEW WEBSITE NOW UP… (www.thewordmadefresh.com)
Posted in Uncategorized on June 28, 2010 by Joe ConHi Guys, it’s been a wild ride these last few weeks and i’ve been blessed and happy to just hang on for dear life… Actually the end of the school year was amazing. We had celebrations of all kinds for the students, teachers, staff and families alike. There is no better school I’ve had the privilege to be a part of than Larchmont Charter West… GO LCW!! I am already missing the beautiful kindergarten, first and second graders it has been my absolute privilege and honor to teach and learn from this past school year!! If you’d like to learn a bit more about the school, you can visit their website: www.larchmontcharterweho.org.
So summer is officially here! I have really taken it pretty easy this first week, playing a few shows here and there and making some plans and preparations for the upcoming months. Last week I played a solo acoustic gig @ The World Cafe in Santa Monica. The place has great ambience, an awesome vibe and excellent sound. Josh really took care of me and made the entire night a really cool experience. Thanks to my friends and fans who made the trip out to SM and joined in. Later that night I played another gig, this one totally impromptu (as is the style there) @ The Stronghold (1625 Abbott Kinney @ Venice, Venice, CA) and debuted a new lineup that includes guitars and drums. My friends Jaysm & Nathan & I have been jamming and arranging a few of my songs for almost a month now, and last week @ The Stronghold was the first time we’ve played together for an audience. It was the perfect way to cut teeth on some of these new arrangements and to get some stage legs as a group. It was a dope time.
Coming up I have a few more shows, notably Wednesday, July 7th @ Zanzibar, again in Santa Monica (I guess you can tell I’ve been spending some time on the west side lately…). That should really be a good night. I’ll be opening the show around 9pm, followed by some other excellent acts including my good friend Ultralove @ 11. There will be other dates in July that have yet to be ironed out, so check back with me here or somewhere else online…which brings me to my next item of business…
I have a new website!! Now, it’s not much yet, but it does give me one solid address where I can direct everyone and keep all my stuff in one place! It is called thewordmadefresh.com and you all should take a few minutes to visit it right now… I’ll wait!
OK, now that you’re back…
If you guys have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. As you can see my web design skills are pretty much novice at best but it feels good just to have the domain name secured and have a place to direct all my fans and friends. I’m still working on the new album, but it’s getting pretty close. Mastering begins this week…
Last news item of the week, I am planning a trip back east. For the first time in over a year I’ll be back in Kentucky, visiting my mom and seeing lots of friends and family. For those of you who don’t know, I grew up in a tiny hamlet about 25 minutes outside of Lexington called Nonesuch. Yes, it’s a real place and you can really Google it. There is some pretty cool history there and a lot of gorgeous land. I’ll be leaving LA for the Bluegrass on July 27th, and won’t be back in la la land until August 10th. And I am planning at least one show in Lexington (hopefully even more) so stay tuned, I’ll be posting info on that stuff in the coming days.
Also, last but not least, POPLock Gallery has grown again!! Lexie, Devin, Rab Eye, James and the Gang have expanded, joining forces with other artists and galleries to produce BANG! Gallery (354 S Spring St. Downtown LA, 90013). Come see a mind-blowing collection of visual artwork as vast and diverse as the City of Angels itself…. I just might make an appearance on July 8th for Artwalk…. you should too!!
Enjoy your time my friends. Every day is precious. It will never return. Tomorrow is not promised so why wait. Tomorrow never comes anyway, because when it gets here it will be today. So this is all we know. NOW!
All I can say is LIVE LIKE YOU’RE YOUNG!!
blessings to you and all of yours…
Yours Truly,
Joe Con
