Well, after a crazy year of pandemics, politics and woe, I got gig!!! I'm playing around town (New Orleans) and going back to Telluride Bluegrass Festival!  Yep, after 28 years , I'll be there for the second weekend doing in between acts performances and sitting in with some old friends. My gig schedule will be up on the shows portion of the website, hope to see y'all at the shows. It's been awhile!

Hi Folks,      Been staying low this last year, doing all the things to be safe. Got both vaccines awhile ago, so feeling better about getting back to the new normal. Played a few outdoor, online shows,but but waiting some more before indoor shows. Keep y'all updated. Hope everybody came through the pandemic ok and we mourn the ones that didn't. Stay tuned, new recording news, new band member, maybe another stab at an old project. Be well!

Well, hi folks!! A lot has changed since I last wrote 2 months ago. All kinds of workers in all kinds of jobs have lost their means of income.  Covid 19 has killed thousands and thousands around the world. Let's all be safe and follow the advice of the REAL experts on this and hopefully we can all survive this. So, go to the websites of your favorite bands, restaurants, artists, relief help and donate, buy merch, get takeout, help feed folks. Together we will get through this. See y'all when it's safe to play again. I'll for sure, let ya know.
