"Live Art" : The title of my all time favorite Bela Fleck album, and how some extremely talented visual artists make their living. I've been fortunate enough to work with some of these folks and thought I'd take a minute to introduce you to them and their involvement in live music.

Lastly, a funny link (oh, America you are indeed funny!)

Be well and hope to see you this weekend!

Rob

Stay tuned for much more work with Lucia!
I just met her a few months ago seeking a bit of camera buying advice.
I talked to the right person. Lucia truly has one of the best eyes and visions around.
She just put together The Love Project in Denver and her top-selling tractor book will be out soon ;)

Peggy Dyer brought her full on project, One Million Faces to the birthday bash.
Her goal: to photograph one million faces to benefit an array of charities.
I was honored to have her to come out.
Check out her photos from the night:

"Ahhh!" Yes, I am that excited! So excited I'd show tonsils and beams of light. Tickets for the Fourth Annual Birthday Bash went on sale this morning. http://bit.ly/dikBnw
If you are new to the annual show, here is the scoop-It's my biggest headlining show of the year, and we tend to go a bit crazy with it!
Why should you come and how is this different than other shows? This year will be speficifically unlike any other...

- We are holding it at a brand new club, Casselman's (26th and walnut, 5 blocks south of the walnut room/5 blocks north of downtown).

- MY DAD IS MAKING HIS DEBUT SET, OPENING THE NIGHT!
(see next section)

- A seven piece funk band, Bop Skizzum is holding it's vinyl release (collaborations? Horn section?? Umm.. Yes!!!)

- I decided to make this show a benefit for a non-profit I am very passionate about: www.flobots.org. (Bring a bunch of friends, and this will be a very fulfilling benefit!)

-My dear friend Jaden Carlson will be playing (heads up- she is opening the Michael Franti/Spearhead show at The First Bank center this month). Did I mention she is 9 years old?

- My very talented friends of le hoop, Tracy Knowles and Angela Faes, are putting together something awesome... I can't tell you quite yet, but it'll be sweet.
- Casselman's has a tire swing and my mom brings free carrot cake for everyone!! :).
Two VERY important things:
1) Let's PACK the place (Casselman's is huge!)
2) BUY AN ADVANCED TICKET! (stay tuned for my next email, but you will not regret having done this)

Who is this bozo to the right? :)
Meet my Dad, Harry Drabkin. He speaks french fluently, he once had an afro, and most nights is asleep by 9pm.
He attended Berklee School of Music in Boston, MA from 1966-1970, became part of the Berklee faculty, and taught from 1970-1972.
After playing a gig with a drunk Judy Garland, he put down his horn, went into medicine and is now head of oncology at MUSC in Charleston, SC.
Three years ago, I told Dad he had one month to get his chops back, and he joined me on stage for the first time. Since then, he's recorded on two of my CD's, returned to writing his own music, and a few months ago, played his own jazz set with Brian, Eric, and Bijoux.
This year I'm very excited to announce he'll be the first act to open the Birthday Bash!
So, here indeed is a VERY RARE recording that you wont be able to find anywhere else. We just converted a 1968 recording from 'reel-to-reel' tape to digital. Here is a beautiful jazz tune called "Elsa" from my dad's days at Berklee. Hope you enjoy it!



Fort Collins, Fort Collins, Fort Collins! Hi. I've missed you.
This Friday night, we will combine our forces to new heights, wonders and worlds of rock.
For the first time, I'm bringing the full band up to headline in Fort Collins. CSU students, this will be a Thanksgiving break party and the cover is only $5.
I'll be in town hanging out all week, promoting the show doing fun media stuff, and hopefully riding a bike in the sun :)

Holy tour! The west coast revisited, a month long residency on the east coast, sxsw, studio time, a european tour, and another six weeks on a bus. All of that craziness at www.robdrabkin.com/shows, but more importantly a very happy thanksgiving to you from all my heart! I enjoyed some wonderful Amy's Alphabet Soup last night :).
Love you lots,
Rob
