Cucumbers & Gin, live at Exapno tomorrow night!
Tomorrow night, Sean-David Cunningham is going to perform Cucumbers & Gin live! After all our work on the Kickstarter campaign, on the recording, and on the film, it’s easy to forget that you can also just go up to people and perform for them.

A huge thank you
To Sean for his performance, to Zach for his recording, to Alan, Mike, Kate, Gill, Dave and Ben, our fantastically talented crew, to Gramps and Maxine for welcoming us into their home with all the gear and the noise and the interruption, and to all our backers on Kickstarter for making the whole thing possible. …
It’s game day.
I just posted an update on Kickstarter about how today is the day. We’re filming, we’re recording, and we’ve got well over half a ton of stuff if you count the people. Earlier in the week, the forecast said cloudy, rainy and gross. But the sun’s come out, so if our luck holds you can …
Final preparations for Cucumbers and Gin
We’re recording on Saturday. Sean and I are rehearsing every couple of days, and putting the finishing touches on his performance. If I could focus only on that, this would be easy. But we’ve got to sort out a film crew that seems to get new members every day (we’re up to five now). We’ve …

Peabody’s all over Kickstarter
And that means either that we’re a bunch of clever musicians on the leading edge of the new creative economy, or that we’re all desperately in need of cash. One of those two. It’s great to see so many of my Peabody classmates and collaborators trying something new, and I’m excited to see all of …
Cucumbers and Gin met its goal.
You may have seen my post on Twitter late last night, but this big news of the day is that Cucumbers and Gin met its fundraising goal of $750. Right now we have $820 pledged and every dollar we raise between now and the deadline on December 24th means we can make an even better …
Front Page of Kickstarter!
There we are! Right on the front! Cucumbers and Gin made the front page. When a project makes the front page of Kickstarter it’s a huge help to the fundraising effort. The boost comes partly from just the extra traffic that you get on the front page, and partly from the fact that it’s a …
Cucumbers and Gin: Kickstarter Project is a go!
Cucumbers & Gin just kicked off its fundraising period – we’re finishing on Christmas Eve, and with your help we’ll be able to make a great recording and performance film. I’ve just joined my family for Thanksgiving, but wherever you are, please check out our project and our great rewards:
