Nights of June

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:06:01 PDT

I wrote you another postcard. They are getting to be a familiar sight, aren't they? I've been drinking a lot of wine this summer and really exploring with some deep, longform two hour sets. Songs I havn't played in years, songs I've never played, songs I'm writing. It's easy to do in the shade of the nice Flying Otter pavillion out in the pastoral woods of Lenawee County. You can be witness on Friday, June 14th at 6pm.

The following week, it's back to the city for the opening week of the annual Ann Arbor Summer Festival. I'll be doing a set at Top of the Park located at Ingalls Mall on the U of M campus. I'm the 6pm act on June 18th at the acoustic Grove Stage. For you Michigan beer fans, there will be a big tasting that night by Traverse City's Right Brain Brewery at the beer garden right next to my stage. Then the night gets even better when Scotland's Django Django headlines the festival next door at the Power Center. They released my favorite record of the year in 2012 and I'm excited to finally see them play live.

Many more shows this summer. Please stand by, drink in hand.

Into Summer

Fri, 24 May 2013 07:05:56 PDT

I've got three regional shows coming up next weekend as we head into summer. First up is a benefit show for my friend and fellow musician Chris Buhalis on Thursday, May 30th at the Yellow Barn in Ann Arbor.

The following night on May 31st, it's another night of longform singing at Flying Otter Winery down in Lenawee County. I start at 6pm. I wrote you a postcard about it...

Then I'm going to take a day off. Possibly, I will go out in my kayak or maybe meet some friends to drink beer and enjoy the summer. But on Sunday, June 2nd I've got a lot of songs to sing at my favorite local bar Old Town Tavern. That's happening at 8pm. Even though I haven't lived nearby for years, I still consider Old Town my "local". Here's a poster...

Many more shows are coming this summer. Check back and I'll tell you something about them.

Cheers!

Spring in Lenawee County

Thu, 09 May 2013 07:05:23 PDT

After surviving the tempestuous weather of April in Lenawee County, it's time again for my monthly gig at Flying Otter Winery in Adrian. A quiet wooden pavilion set against a backdrop of trees overlooking the vineyard, it's the perfect location to listen to some deep cuts from my catalog and hear me woodshed some newer material.

Winter Shows

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 08:02:12 PST

It's been a quiet and pensive winter, but at last the cabin fever has gotten the best of me. I'm going to leave my house to do a couple of shows next week and I hope you'll consider venturing out with me.

First of all, I'll be doing a short performance and interview tonight (February 24) on Tree Town Sound, one of Ann Arbor's local radio shows. Tune in to 107.1FM at 6pm tonight to hear it.

On Thursday, February 28 I'm joining up with local songwriter Samantha West to play the popular Acoustic Night series at The Ugly Mug Cafe in Ypsilanti. That's this coming Thursday night from 7-9pm. I'll be playing second and the show is free.

On Sunday, March 3 I'll be making my debut at the wonderful house concert series at Salt of the Earth in Fennville, MI. That's over on the west side of the state near Saugatuck. I'm told the food is very good and the listening room sounds great. This show also starts at 7pm and I'll be opening for Drew Nelson.

These are all solo shows, but I'll be back with some State Park shows coming up in April to celebrate the thawing of winter.

Cheers!
