Jamuel Saxon Remixes Settle Down

by GG on July 1, 2010

If you haven’t heard the name Keith Milgaten (a.k.a. Jamuel Saxon), then you haven’t been paying attention. According to 944 Magazine, he produced and/or played on 5 of the Top 09 releases in San Diego during 2009. I was pumped when he asked to remix a track from Black Glass. Look for a few more Jamuel Saxon + Greg Gibson collaborations in the next few months. Enjoy!

Charlie Mars at the Casbah July 19

by GG on June 8, 2010

Hello everyone, wanted to let you know about an upcoming show at the Casbah with the talented singer/songwriter, Charlie Mars.  I’m very happy to be opening the show, and I’ll be playing a solo set for the first time since January!  It’s going to be a great night – see you there!

FIND TICKETS

With his latest album, Like A Bird, Like A Plane, Charlie Mars has sewn together tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment and personal destruction – themes that may clash on paper but in music, suggest mysteries that are organic to us all. He recorded the album in Austin, TX with drummer J.J. Johnson (John Mayer), keyboardist John Ginty (Citizen Cope), bass players George Reiff (Jakob Dylan) and Dave Monzie (Fiona Apple).  “With gentle yet genuine hints of Paul Simon in both his singing and his guitar work, Charlie Mars takes listeners on a journey through some of the peaks and valleys of his life,” said The Washington Post.  “Even those who haven’t experienced the personal turmoil of addiction, loss and heartbreak may feel a kinship to the singer-songwriter, who tells his story through lush musical vignettes.”

2007 Polaris Music Prize winner, Patrick Watson, and his band The Wooden Arms, play The Casbah on Monday, May 24th. I am incredibly excited and honored to open this show – I’ve been singing Patrick’s songs for years now, and his band is one of the best in the business. Tickets are available for $13 in advance through www.casbahmusic.com or $15 at the door.

“[Patrick Watson's] Wooden Arms is a beautiful collection of songs that bring together delicate pop, ethereal atmosphere and a minimalist sense of composition. Watson’s stunning, romantic voice soars above the guitars and highly orchestrated melodies amid a driving pulse of precise piano work. Meanwhile, Kuster’s clattering percussion is crisply performed on snare drums, marimbas and household pots turned upside-down. It’s an inspired sound from a great young artist. ” – NPR’s Bob Boilen
