<p>Obviously, if you're keeping up with the news, I've been living in China for a while now and under the current circumstances, with the Corona-virus, all of currently scheduled shows are canceled or postponed until further notice. Wishing a very speedy and thorough solution to the this problem and wishing my friends in China and everywhere good health and safety. Thanks for reading. Peace and Love to everybody.</p>

<p>What's up Peoples?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for clicking and reading the news Feed. I'm just back from a ten day run in China which had it's ups and downs. The first leg in Beijing was action packed and the band ( Jeff Gilman, Kenny Leonore, Nico Mege) had our first stop at the Bricks in Beijing. This place sounds great and real music fans show up! Nico had another engagement so we had Fiach, a great drummer from Ireland fill in with us and lay down some serious groove. Saturday the 11th saw the GLB at a Craft Beer Festival at the East Hotel in Beijing. Xian bar has added a container which they renovated into a very cool bar and will be open all winter. The party was focusing on local craft beer and positive vibes and Teddy Strings and his band tore the place up also! That night, we moved back downtown to a place called Good Bait and played another show well into the night! Massive party... </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I caught a bad throat infection after Beijing and had to postpone my two shows in Shanghai at the Chair Club. Spent most of my time in SH at the hospital... I'm ok tho almost back to 110%.... I will be back there in '18 to get those shows done and do a proper Shanghai hang... thanks to everyone for the support and for reading... Happy Holidays to you and yours. See you in the Streets! </p>

<p>The GLB would like to thank Everyone at the House of Blues and Jazz in Shanghai, China for another amazing experience of 5 memorable months as the house band of one of the best bars in Shanghai!

Thanks for killing it when we needed you and being such great pros and cool people... Flying into Boston,MA this Spring and I'm very excited to get back in the groove in Beantown... Hope to see you at a show or two...</p>

<p>Ok! so back on January 27th '07 I opened up for John Hammond, a great blues performer with an unbelivable book of old blues and originals. It was at the Newport Blues Cafe in Newport,RI. We both played solo sets, I had a great time and the good people of WMVY radio on Martha's Vineyard came all the way to the mainland to record John. Well, they were nice enough to record me too and both of our sets and some pictures are posted on their web site www.wmvyradio.com (check the Event Archives for Newport '07). Mr. Hammond is returning to New England at the Stone Church in New Market,NH on March 23rd and another band that I'm proud to be working with, the Trama Unit will perform too. John Hammond at 7pm and the Trama Unit at 10pm please check the Church's website for moreinfo and online ticket purchase www.thestonechurch.com</p>
