Truck on over to mixcloud.com/agaveparty (link in bio) to check out the most recent episode of the program. Enjoy the journey and get lost along the way with new music by Drew Gardner and Spaghetti Eastern Music, sandwiching contemporary sounds by Verdin Brothers, Cole Pulice, Anthony Pasquarosa, Hidden Twin, and Emily A. Sprague. Also got some timeless tunes from more than two decades ago by Robbie Robertson, Jerry Garcia, and Mike Wilhelm. As originally aired on WXCS 92.9fm. Hope ya dig!

Stopped by @papajazzrecordshoppe the morning after a killer show in Columbia, SC. I think they really know me in there because they had Autechre’s Chiastic Slide and Bill Orcutt’s VDSQ record set aside for me. Thanks Woody! All in all, a perfect weekend of regional shows with my merch master/tour manager supreme by my side.

Very fun to work with my old friend and longtime fellow traveler @vdsqrecords to put together this night of incredible guitar music. Mark your calendars (July 27!) for a night of cosmic steel string magic. Huge thanks to the legend @dnorsen_design for the poster design.

In-Coming: Our 4/18/26 RSD Dropout event is quickly approaching. And one great part of doing these kinds of gatherings involves (re)introducing names of folks who infrequently play here in NYC. Want to avoid ye olde algorithm and/or the yellowing rolodex of familiars. Keep the fridge fresh.

Though not a new name, here is one who too rarely performs in NYC that we’ve been trying to get down here for decades: Anthony Pasquarosa

So pleased to have Tony joining us on 4.18.26 @ 3 p.m.; entire day of events is free and open to all.

Anthony Pasquarosa is a Western Massachusetts based musician, educator and visual artist (PLEASE Note: the poster included here is his work!) whose prolific output spans an unlikely range of worlds and decades (centuries, even): the hypnotic 12-string fingerpicking of his VDSQ recordings; the amazing Crystalline Roses project (occult Americana in the lineage of Robbie Basho); the outsider punk of Burnt Envelope and SQRM; the urgent fuzzed out garage rock of Gluebag; and the rural psych drift of Weeping Bong Band. Hardly a comprehensive list, note we left off the heavy Aerosols post-hardcore project, which still smokes. And lest not forget Frozen Corn, the bluegrass supergroup with Josh Burkett and Chris Carlton!

A devoted student of old time, Tony brings that same restless curiosity to banjo, fiddle, and acoustic guitar in the American folk tradition, playing solo and alongside fellow collaborators.

Much of Tony’s work has circulated through non-careerist b/w lifer underground channels, self-released tapes and CDRs distributed quietly among friends and fellow travelers, capturing his fierce dedication to all things DIY.

Tony’s visual art extends the same mystic, occult sensibilities. We hope to have some of Tony’s art on display during our 4.18.26 celebration of his and other artists performing as part of our non-RSD event.

Nota bene: Gotta take note of Tony’s cooking here as well, and his absolute rejection of social media. Envious of his #westernma ethos.

Special thanks to @ocoin for helping make this happen.
