VBLOG: A Door Wide Open, Live @ The Bluebird in Nashville

2010-02-23T16:18:00.001-08:00

My musical pilgrimage to Memphis and Nashville has been amazing! Will make a much larger blog post soon, but in the mean time:

Top Five Memphis Songs that Weren't written by Paul Simon or Marc Cohen

2010-02-16T16:23:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

just arrived in Memphis for my first FAI conference. Never been here before, apparently its Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday, so I'm heading to the parade in a matter of minutes!

I loaded my Ipod with as many songs about Memphis as I could find, and I've compiled a top Five list of the best songs that use Memphis as the focal point!

Clearly this list is a matter of fact, and any debate is futile (jeeeeezeee, I'm kidding.... I'm searching for as many great songs as possible!)

If you're in town this week, come say hey! I'll be the one dancing

here is my list:

5) Going to Memphis - Johnny Cash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEHJ-_Hqbz8

"wish i was tied to Bertha instead of this ball and chain, I'm going to Memphis"

In my opinion, this tune blows "working on a chain gang" outta the water! No disrespect to Sam Cooke, but the remakes have killed it!

4) Back to Memphis - The Band

http://www.last.fm/music/The+Band/_/Back+To+Memphis

"wish i was back to Memphis, back home with my mamma... the only clothes I got left are these rags and my pajamas"

They kicked off their live set at Watkins Glen with this track, and although its been played by lots of folk, that recording is the clincher!

3) Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again - Bobby D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62cPEnMq5zw

"Grandpa died last week, And now he's buried in the rocks, But everybody still talks about, How badly they were shocked.

But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost control, When he built a fire on Main Street, And shot it full of holes.

Seems like a theme here, each tune thus far is sung about the city from the outside. Anyone who's been in a situation they can't control can relate to this hyperactive harrowing romp

2) Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Loy55z4GpA

This song has a helluva lot more then just "half a teacup of bass" if ya ask me!

and my current number one tune is:

1) Memphis Midnight/ Memphis Morning - Lyle Lovett

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T4SaNuxZO8 (couldn't find a video for this one, so I put in my favorite lyle lovett song)

Oh Lyle, how silly I was as a young'un when i wondered how you landed Julia Roberts!

"she bought me good whiskey in Memphis, she bought supper and paid for the room,

as best as I can remember, she paid dearly for loving me too"

One music lover's opinion, feel free to contradict

A Big Show, CBC, Hugh's Room, Newfoundland, Memphis, Nashville etc

2010-01-28T11:11:00.000-08:00

January is like a 31 day hangover from holiday madness, I've been laying low, working on new tunes, traveling on seemingly endless subway rides to various jobs, and watching far too many cowboy movies. Day to day productivity is definitely down, but I've been planning carefully so once February hits us like a cold wet towel, I'll have tons of projects and adventures! I'm very excited.

A) FRIDAY FEB 5th I'm performing in prime time at one of Toronto's most storied venues "Lee's Palace."

Here are the details:

FRIDAY FEB 5th 2010

Dave Borins, Blues in D, The Jing Bang Show

Lee's Palace 529 Bloor Street West

Doors 9:30pm, my set: 11pm, $10

It used to be a Chinese restaurant until the mid eighties when it was morphed into a venue, the name did not change! Other acts who have performed on this stage include: Nirvana, Caribou, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Blue Rodeo..... so ya, I'm a little excited.

I'll be playing with a full band including Josh Cockrill (guitar), Blaise Alleyne (Violin), Angie Hilts (Vox), Alastair Whitehead (Bass), and Richie Piasetski (Drums).

B) At Hugh's Room, a year ago last Friday, I played my 100th show! It was an event unlike any other I've ever organized, and the support I received was remarkable! I want to sincerely thank those who came out. I now view it as a major turning point in my career, and I still feel its momentum! Can't formally announce anything yet, but in October I'm going back there for a two night run to record a live album/ DVD. Amazingly I'll have played over 200 times by then, 1/4th of the time it took for the first century mark!

Check out "turn on your love light" from the 100th show:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px6yaz5S4Hs

C) Heading to Memphis and Nashville for the last two weeks of February. Planning to case the joint before making the big score. Future plans include hightailing it to the Caribbean and living as an outlaw on the proceeds.

If you know people in Nashville or Memphis, drop me a line, I'd love to connect with locals! They'll know all the best spots to hear great music!

D) NEWFOUNDLAND FOR ST PADDIES DAY!!!!!!!!! I'm doing a 5 show run in St Johns Newfoundland (my favorite place in Canada), Fortunately, all of these show happen BEFORE March 17th so I'll have a day of rest for the big celebration!

Check the listings on myspace http://www.myspace.com/daveborins for the dates, I'll write more about this closer to the date!

Youtube video from my last visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_fAvczvov4

E) "the Lucky Ones EP" is now in the CBC database, so I suggest you bombard them with song requests for yours truly! I've been getting a few plays, but I think its time to up the ante! Take some time to leave a comment here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/program/e-mail-forms/r2drive/email-r2drive.html

OK, enough for now, lots going on, please drop me a line! This mailing list is more then just promotion, its a way for me to keep in touch with old friends, and people around the globe who have touched my life in one way or another!

much love

"the gods have a sense of humor don't they? If you lack the iron and the fizz to take control of your own life, if you insist on leaving your fate to the gods, then they will repay your weakness by having a grin or two at your expense. Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don't be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked. The dull and prosaic will be granted adventures that will dice their central nervous systems like an onion; Romantic dreamers will end up working in a rope yard!"

LEE's PALACE! FEB 5th.... I'm so psyched!

2010-01-13T21:40:00.000-08:00

I am excited to announce that Blues In D has asked me to play at their final Show; I'm even more excited that it's going to take place at Lee's Palace, one of Toronto's most legendary venues!

Why so legendary you might ask?
The following bands have performed at Lee's Palace early in their careers: Nirvana, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Elliot Smith, Blue Rodeo etc etc etc...

The set times are as follows:

10:00 - The Jing Bang Show: http://www.myspace.com/thejingbangshow

11:00 - Dave Borins w/ full band - http://www.daveborins.com

12:00 - Blues in D - http://www.myspace.com/bluesind

Truth be told, I did play there once!
It was 1:30am, on a wednesday 2006, I was last on the bill, playing solo acoustic after 8 punk and metal bands! In attendence: The Bartender, The soundguy, some drunk dude, and I vaguely remember my friends adam haller and rob trager bothering the soundguy to give me a record deal!

A lot of time has passed, and Its a Friday night, 11pm... Prime Time for my first big full band show of the year!!!

come party with the other bands and I, The evening's energy is going to be incredible!

Here is a note from the headliners:

"We hope you will all join us on this night to celebrate the last year and bit of Blues in D and to be a part of our last show together. We couldn't be more excited about playing Lee's Palace on a Friday night. Playing this unbelievable venue has been a dream of ours for quite some time, and we would really like to share it with all of the people who have supported us along the way."
here is their facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=286443208218&index=1

I'm loving 2010, each show is getting better and better! Come see for yourself!

much love

SCENE Magazine (London ontario's "village voice") published this excellent review of "the lucky one's EP" Just wanted to pass it along, and thank them whole heartedly for the kind words!

"Although his day job is as a backcountry guide (and no I don’t know what that is either), Dave Borins’ music career is building nicely as evidenced by his latest EP, The Lucky Ones. With a plaintive, quavering voice not unlike Loudon Wainwright III’s, Borins also mines Wainwright’s songwriting vein with songs that find the heartbreak and humour in life in equal and sometimes simultaneous measure. To point to highlights would be to name the entire contents of this modest EP. Less is more on Dave Borins' The Lucky Ones in so much as it leaves desire for a follow-up." -- Bob Klanac

Peace out people, excited about living in the future!

To all who share a thirst for life, love, music and everything in between, This year has been quite a whirlwind; January's Hugh's Room 100th show celebration lead to the new recordings which lead to a ton of gigs and culminated in two incredible east coast tours. I plan on carrying the momentum into 2010 with musical expeditions to Memphis, Nashville, a return to Newfoundland (my new favorite place in Canada), and if all goes according to plan, a cross country tour heading west this summer! Before I say another word, let me wish you all a wonderful and stress free holiday season... its upon us, no sense in denying it! As we walk past endless jingles, tinsel and cheerful decor, I hope we all take the time to connect with loved ones, share a bevy or two, deck the halls, light the candles, dance a jig, and appreciate the break in the monotony! In the meantime, I'd like to invite you out to one final full band show! Haven't played in hometown Tarana in some months, so this Thursday I'm "getting the band back together" and hosting a couple of great maritime artists at C'est What! here are the details: DECEMBER 10th, 2009 Location: C'est What Street: 67 Front Street East City/Town: Toronto, On $6 9:30pm start time, I'm headlining at around 10:30 W/ Mary Stewart http://www.marystewartmusic.com/ David Macmichael (The Danger Bees) Http://www.thedangerbees.com Also On Thursday, December 10th, Second Cup at Empress Walk will host the first ever Sip for a Cause. 100% proceeds from the day's beverage sales will be donated to Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children with cancer. I'm playing a solo set at 1pm, come say hello and have a cup of joe! As we speak, I'm working on the video blogs to commemorate the recently completed "East Side Ride 09" tour w/ the talented Jadea Kelly, I'm going to release them in early January, when the holiday dust settles. In the meantime, check out this one from the "East Bound and Up" Series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-OKxNdD9SI It'll give you an idea of what to expect! Many thanks to all who joined my facebook "fan page," ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dave-Borins/20447603918 ) I say this with a nod and a wink, because I've yet to find a way to distinguish between friend and fan. I hope I never have to! You can be sure I'll be in touch soon, but please drop me a line and let me know how you've been spending your time! Always looking for new music to hear and discover, so send me recommendations! Much Love, see you on Thursday or as soon as possible! db
