Page showed up to the studios in his signature dapper vintage suit and hat, but unfortunately had to remove his hat to wear headphones for the recording. He joked that we could tie his hat from the ceiling with an invisible string and it could just float above him. This would have been hilarious for the video, but it was minutes before we went live. I wonder if Tom would have held it together through the interview if I'd actually made this happen.
Page brought some friends with him for the performance. Erika Davies has a lovely voice. She's also a clothing designer and you can see her creations here . Also, check out her dress in the video, she made it and it's adorable. Also playing with Page is the incredibly talented violinist Ray Suen . Suen's been playing with Louis XIV, but has just become a touring member of the band The Killers .
Page has a new CD out called All Make Believe and there's a CD release party at Lestats on Saturday, June 28th. It will be a great night out.

I'm so glad you put that video up :) I was hoping for something when I heard he was going to KPBS - it's hard to be that far away from San Diego and I still wish to see him perform live on stage one day :)
His music is unique - very touching, melancholic and wonderful nostalgically ;) The way he tells his little stories is plain beautiful. Songs that are balm to the soul...
Thanks so much :)
