Well it’s August again and that means it’s time for me to head north.
Chattanooga is amazing 10 months out of the year, but one of the months it
ain’t is this one. But I’m also getting to get back to some of my favorite
places, as well as a few new one. Hope to see you a one of them.


Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
This is not a gig per se, but a chance to catch up with old friends, relax
a bit and hear a ton of great music (and most of it won’t be on the main
stage) It’s been ten years since I last went up there, and I’m really
looking forward to it (after the initial 15 hour [!] drive that is)


G-Spot House Concert
Gandharva Earl Sauls is a Jazz bassist in Teaneck New Jersey who host’s
concerts out of his home. He also has a grand piano in his living room,
come watch me discover I’m not as good at something as I think I am!



Concert at Grace United Church of Christ in Lancaster, Pa
I get to Pennsylvania very rarely, and to Amish country even more
infrequently. It’s a Monday, but it’s an early show, I promise you won’t be
too tried at work on Tuesday.
Also teaching a workshop (form tune to arrangement) beforehand at 5pm



Rock n Roll Dulcimer Workshop with Buckeye Strings Dulcimer Club
Teaching the Roots of Rock AND a Sam Cooke song, this’ll be a blast!

Workshop and concert at the Corydon Dulcimer Club
Back to in Indiana, teaching a workshop and then playing afterwards.
Contact Russ Emery if you just want to attend the show.


House Concert at Toya and Gary's place
It’s always so kind of Toya and Gary to invite me into their home, and it’s
always a good time. And if this is a little far away for you, remember that
this is a very early show!

Taffy's of Eaton.
It’s Taffy’s, and until you’ve been it’s hard to describe, but once you
have there’s no need to explain. J I always look forward to the amazing
venue.


House Concert at the Gwinn’s

Steve and Linda are far better to me than I deserve, and they love to cook!
There’s far more than one good reason to make it to this show.



Not a whole lot of announce-able news this time, but that doesn’t mean
there’s not lots going on! Watch this space for some cool stuff coming this
fall.


C-ya out there.
