Do not be alarmed by the proximity of two upcoming concerts, they could not be more different.

November 29th is the second fundraising event partnering GimmeSound and Berklee College. We will feature an entire set of our original compositions (although we reserve the right to play acoustic Weezer covers at ANY time)

December 1st kicks off Christmas by the Sea in Manchester and we are excited to perform our holiday themed set in a beautiful chapel with our friend Chelsea Berry.

Details and links are below. Thanks for reading, listening and coming out!

Thank You for making yesterday’s Recital a smashing success.

I am proud of everyone. You selected beautiful songs & performed them admirably. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Everyone who brought food, everyone who brought family & friends, who took photos & video, who helped setup & breakdown our sound system… Thank You!

My students are a group of talented, intelligent, passionate, well-rounded humans, I’m very glad to work with you all.

I must thank my Mom & Dad, who are a rock solid foundation of support & have been consistently throughout my life. They were both vital to yesterday’s success.

My wife Renee, her mother Cecile & sister Michelle once again handled important business offstage while welcoming our guests with warm smiles.

My aunt Cris, who once again volunteered her amazing talent of capturing images. Our event should soon be viewable in a gallery on her website

and finally Larry Cook, who helped reserve the beautiful hall, which in my opinion solidified itself as the new home for our annual celebration.

So mark your 2013 calendars for “the Sunday before Memorial Day Weekend” because I look forward to our 3rd Annual Rock & Roll Recital next year.

Many Thanks,
Joe Cardoza
