TONIGHT! Joe Craven, David Gans, and Mookie Siegel

June 14th, 2023

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2023 at The Monkey House, 1638 University Avenue, Berkeley

Joe Craven and I have been performing together for more than a year now, in a variety of contexts. For this monthly (-ish) residency at the Monkey House, we’ve been inviting a third party in for shows that mix familiar songs (often in new arrangements) and lots of improvisation.

Mookie Siegel, keyboardist of the David Nelson Band, joined us for a full-band show in Berkeley in April. It was the first time Joe and Mookie had met and jammed, and the connection was a sweet one from the start! So we’ve invited him to join us in the more intimate setting of The Monkey House tonight.

Doors at 7, show 7:30-10pm. Admission is $10-40 sliding scale. Advance tickets are recommended! Email ira@themonkeyhouse.org

Thanks to Bob Minkin for the photo of Mookie!

DG’s daily livestreams: three years and counting!

June 10th, 2023

I haven’t played every single day since April 3, 2020, but I haven’t missed very many! I play most days at 4 pm Pacific, but I am starting earlier on certain days because I am also working for nugs.net on the Dead & Company tour so I need to be finished in time to watch their show!

My performances are streamed live on these platforms:
YouTube
Twitter
Facebook
Streamstock
Tip jar, CDs, signed books, t-shirts, and mugs: perfectible.net

I have played more than 500 different songs (including more than 100 unique improvisations). The top 50 (* = my original songs):

*Blue Roses 161
*The Town That Still Believes in Magic 151
*It’s Gonna Get Better 147
Days Between 137
Box of Rain 130
Scarlet Begonias 123
*Jam 119
*Save Us from the Saved 118
Terrapin Station 113

Wharf Rat 104
*That’s Real Love 104
*Leave Me 102

Attics of My Life 72
Mr Soul 70
*Your Movie 70
Down to Eugene 69
*Shove in the Right Direction 69
*The Minstrel 68

Two of those songs are only half mine: “The Town That Still Believes in Magic” was written with Scott Guberman; “Shove in the Right Direction” was written with Lorin Rowan.

“Down to Eugene” was written by Jim Page; “Forever” was written by Ira Marlowe; “Miss That Car” was written by Joe Burke

I’ve gotten some press attention. The San Francisco Chronicle has covered my daily performances, and so has Live for Live Music.
