UT Night at the Trail of Lights

UT sponsored a night at the Austin Trail of Lights again this year and I got to play on the community stage again, this time with coworkers Krysta and Thais backing me up. Had a great time playing the gig and a great time taking Anais around the trail, on the ferris wheel, and to spin under the Christmas tree of lights. View the whole set of photos on Flickr.

Live from the Tree House Lounge

I was back in DC for my 25th high school reunion last weekend so I set up a gig to play old songs and new for friends and family. Without knowing the place, I found the Tree House Lounge online and booked a spot in their Sunday night showcase. A few old friends and many friends of the family came out to see what the great Molini was up to (that was my name as a magician, back in middle-school). Here are a few tracks.

The band after me was called J and the 9s, who, as you can see, put on quite a show. That’s my brother Franklin taking it all in.

May 2015 Singalong at Little Stacy Park with Mo Pair

Singalong sandwich board

It was a gorgeous day today for a singalong at Little Stacy Park and the crew was out. I played the 12-string Taylor. Our special guest Mo Pair, sang a song, lead a  hymn and a song on the drum in the middle of our singalong set.

Here are recordings of us singing Stevie Wonder’s “A Place In The Sun,” Mo leading a Ponca hymn and his song on the drum.
