Off to the festival--I will be managing the Family Stage once again, stop by to say hello and enjoy the many attractions this event has to offer at this gorgeous riverside site.

Saturday June 16 and Sunday June 17 at Croton-on-Hudson, NY.

...hit the area hard, no power or running water, dangerous roadways, fallen trees and wires, cancellations abound, back to normal soon...

On Thursday we convene for bluegrass at My Place in Newtown, and on Saturday we celebrate the birthday of my great friend Anne Marie Menta with a special "in-the-round" show at Best Video in Hamden.

Hope you can join us...

This coming Tuesday, May 1, we conduct our bluegrass open jam/open mic at My Place in Newtown. All pickers welcome--at 8 sit in the backroom for an acoustic picking circle, then step into the barroom for an open mic later on.

See you there...

On Saturday we appear in concert at the Meeting House in Newtown. It will be an evening of high-spirited music with appearances by special guests David Wheeler and Cadence Carroll. 

Obtain tickets on the "Shows" page.

On Thursday I join my great mates the Birdmen for a performance at our fave listening space. 

We hit a 8, will be playing a set of my music, hope to see you there...

And thank you to Johnny Java for the ever creative posters!

...will see some interesting events: a performance in Boston at "Berklee in the Round" on April 10; shows in the DC area with Nick Depui the weekend of April 13; and I'll be interviewed live on radio WSVX Indianapolis by my Berklee buddy Penny Lane Diersing on Wednesday, April 18.

Going nationwide!

Tonight, Thursday, March 29, we assemble yet again at the Acoustic in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport, for another session in this long-running series. We have been meeting for 18 years, why stop now?

See you there...

On Sunday at Cafe 9 we throw a bash celebrating the 30th year of a venerable institution, the long-running "Local Bands" show on WPLR. Against all odds, Rick Allison, the late James Velvet, and recently Frank Critelli have hosted this broadcast which only features local artists on the playlist--on a commercial radio station no less! 

Incredible...

Big day in store: brunch at noon; special listening spots before the live music; Birdmen at 2; Big Fat Combo at 3; Jim Chapdelaine and Christine Ohlman at 4; plus guest appearances by all manner of fine artists.

Not to be missed...

This coming Friday I join my great friends Eclipse for their annual St Patrick's day concert. It's a 7:30 showtime at the Suzuki school in Sandy Hook.

And on Sunday it's the next event in the Stockbridge & Berry Present series, this week featuring Chicks 'n Synch. They will perform from 1 - 3 in the showroom at 142 Main St North Southbury.
