Spring Shows, Band and Solo

Poster for Chico States show at The Apohadion in Portland, Maine. Black and white picture of a house, presumably in Portland, with a drawing of a person in front of it. The top and bottom margins are red with mostly white font. The text reads, "John Andrews & The Yawns (Streetsweeper Record Release) with Lisa Liza and Chico States. See you there!"

We just did a very intimate show in a South Portland woodshop with one of my favorite artists this past year, Christy Armstrong. I’ve seen her twice and am so moved each time. The morning after playing, I drove up to Montreal and saw Dirty Three at Le Gésu. So writing here on Monday, I’m full of weird beautiful feelings and images—colorful exhaustion and gratitude.

A few upcoming local shows to point out:

  • May 13, 2026 – Portland, ME @ WMPG Local Motives radio show (Chico States)
  • May 25, 2026 – Portland, ME @ The Apohadion (Chico States) w/ John Andrews, Lisa Liza
  • June 3, 2026 – Portland, ME @ Longfellow Square (solo) – This one will be me, playing more improvisational stuff, as the “featured” set during an open mic.
Black and white comic-style drawings and a handmade cardboard model of a train. Text reads, "at 'Bandsaw 3' [address] April 10th - 7PM $10-15 PWYC. Showbill April 10, 2020. Sable Island Pony, Silvie's Okay, Christy Armstrong, Chico States."
