Live Homebrew Concert Series

In addition to studio albums, Loren records many of his concerts and occasionally releases CD compilations of some of his best performances. These CDs contain not only live versions of studio songs, some of them updated over time, but new material not available anyplace else. Think of it as legalized bootlegging.

Live/Homebrew #7: California to Key West

I branched out a bit for this album, adding home studio and living room recordings to the usual collection of live performances. This CD includes cuts from my live set with former Coral Reefer TC Mitchell last November at the Blue Heaven in Key West, the very latest songs I've written and polished, and a "bonus track" that might get me in trouble one of these days.

Track list:

  1. Worst Day Sailing (Beats the Best Day Working) - Livermore CA 6/25/09
  2. Mental Health Day - Blue Heaven Key West, 10/30/08
  3. Bail Me Out - Concord CA 5/19/09

Live Homebrew #6: 8/1/08 - CD Release Show

I played an all-originals show in Cupertino, CA for the release of my new CD, Every Day's a Holiday, on August 1, 2008. I played some stuff I haven't done in a *very* long time, and got an excellent rendition of a brand-new song, "Margarita Ya-Ya" as a bonus. I had a modest but enthusiastic group of friends and fans show up for this one, and you can hear them in the background. Complete with introductions for most songs - the part that never makes it to the CDs. This one is really like being at the show.

Track list:

  1. "Escape Artist" Intro/Mental Health Day
  2. Key West Habit
  3. By the Bay
  4. Wednesday Night Regatta
  5. I Need a Weekend
  6. Every Day's a Holiday
  7. Flute Player
  8. Sunshine in the Rain
  9. Great Homebrewing Disaster
  10. I Don't Care (if the Plane Don't Come)
  11. (What Do You Do With a) Drunken Sailor
  12. Margarita Ya-Ya/Holiday reprise
