BLUE in Portland, Maine - August 22nd

It couldn't have been a more perfect night in Vacationland. What other city in America can you park your car in a designated bus stop, unload gear, play a 2 hour gig, re-load gear and never get a ticket? The Portland crowd seemed subdued, but attentive, and I was grateful so many friends of friends showed up! Liz tolerated being crammed behind me with her bass and Mike Arciero (electric guitar) and Matt Wunsch (drum set) did a great job backing me up on show of original songs, which they had heard only once! I'm certain that there are a ton of great pics from this show ... just waiting on ya'll to send them! You know who you are!

Thanks again to Aimsel Ponti for reviewing my songs in the Portland Press Herald: The Night is Young: A D.C. singer-songwriter who gives superlatives a workout

Last Minute Show - D.C. Saturday AUG 2, 2008

I'm opening up for the Makepeace Brothers @ 9pm. $5 donation to help the new community art space & the touring band's gas bill. ________DETAILS:

“From bluegrass to jazz to Brazilian, African, and Celtic, their sounds are as worldly as their messages.” Whether playing for thousands of Jason Mraz’ fans while opening for the platinum selling artist during this spring’s “Music Magic and Make Peace” Tour or performing an intimate party in Toronto, Canada, this acoustic trio rocks the house.

BloomBars: Don’t be surprised if you haven’t caught word. BloomBars is Columbia Heights’ new decidedly underground, spontaneous and inspirational space for local and global art, music and film you more than likely haven’t seen or heard. It’s raw. It’s organic, and slowly rising from a seed—offering an opportunity for guests to say, “I watched it grow when it looked like it was going to be a weed.” And did we mention that it’s free? Well, it’d be nice if you threw in a $5 donation to keep the lights on.

Sneak a peak: www.bloombars.com (videos are up).

Suggested Donation: $5 supports the musicians and the performance space
