"ONE NIGHT MUSIC" SESSION

Having no plans and feeling lonely, I spent this Valentine's Day with the good people over at One Night Music in Santa Barbara, CA. Actually, they invited me to perform for their official launch party on that day in front of a small audience of site contributers and past guest artists. As they do, the crew at One Night Music made high quality video and audio recordings of the session and have just uploaded them onto their website. Below is a video of my performance of the song "Silent Streets":

You will find videos and free MP3 downloads of all 6 songs, photos, and an overly flattering review of the performance (thanks!) by going directly to One Night Music Session #8: Adam Bianchi. Enjoy - and be sure to check out the other guest sessions, including one by my friend Mike Conway with cellist Betsy Wise, who also performed a session at the launch party. I would like to again thank everyone involved with the website, production, and that weekend's festivities. Here is a group photo of the performers and crew from that night:

Welcome.. It's been awhile since I've updated my website with any new information, so here is a quick recap of some recent news:

• "The Swift House Sessions" was nominated for EP of the Year, Acoustic Song of the Year ("Calling You Out"), and Folk Song of the Year ("I Don't Want You Anymore") at the 2008 MAVRIC Awards. No awards were taken home at the February 22nd ceremony, however "I Don't Want You Anymore" was voted Folk Song of the Year by both writers at the Ventura County Reporter, calling it a "simple but effective acoustic ballad with a haunting feel that wouldn't be out of place on an Elliot Smith or a Neil Young record."

• If you are wondering what "The Swift House Sessions" are, you are not alone. We recorded the 7 tracks last summer and have yet to give them any official release, but plans are in the works.. The sessions include 3 new songs and 4 new recordings of songs from the earlier "Vallejo Demos" and "Eleven Demos".
