On 7/25/02, Chris Dreyer and I played a gig at JP’s in Valdosta, Georgia. Before the show, we sat in Chris’s Jeep in the parking lot, drank the better part of a 12 pack, and listened to just-released Don’t Know Why by Norah Jones about 30 times. We played 3 songs that night before the gig was stopped because of dismal attendance. Last night, we shared the bill with a Norah Jones side project and met her in the green room.

Tour Diary: Day 1, Virginia
It’s a definite sign you’ve been in NYC too long when you get to Chris’s Aunt’s house in Virginia and start talking about how “huge” and “this would be dope to live in” her BASEMENT is. “Dude, this would rent for like $6000/month in NYC!”
En route to Asheville. Holler soon!

Radeberger hooked us up
Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 is a great new venue, complete with artist green room and a piano that they lower from the ceiling. Radeberger sponsored the gig and gave us a free case of beer, which we drank in ~20 minutes.
Thanks to everyone that came out to the gig, it was fun!
We’re still in Beta, yo
Still making improvements/changes/edits/fixes to the site. Trying out a lot of Flash-like things without having to use the monstrosity that is Flash. Things like Web fonts and CSS3 are new and can be tricky, especially on Internet Explorer. Here is where you should go if you use Internet Exlorer .
Anyways, pardon our dust for now!
2010 CMJ Music Marathon – we’re playing it!
So yeah, pretty sweet – we already got confirmed for a date during CMJ. The CMJ Music Marathon happens every year around Halloween and is really the NYC equivalent of South by Southwest.
Whiskey Richard @ Crossroads in NJ, 2006
Our first show ever in NYC was at Lion’s Den (now Sullivan Music Hall) in the heart of the Village in August of 2006 (our homebase was Nashville in 2006 and were known as Whiskey Richard – get it??). We were road warriors that year and managed to pack the venue on our first try. The promoter dug the vibe and re-booked us for Halloween, opening for Papa Mali and as part of the 2006 CMJ Music Marathon.
New album, new website
Scott with Judah Friedlander
Soooo…. finally found the time to overhaul Goodbye Picasso’s space on the interwebs. This new version is Goodbye Picasso 4.0, if you will. It is very similar to previous versions but a lot more powerful and hopefully a lot more interactive.
Here are my favorite parts:
