April Newsletter – New England and California Tours

Dear friends,

This has been a big spring for new recordings! On March 22, Laura Cortese and I re-released a limited pressing of our electric duo debut, “Two Amps, One Microphone“. It’s now available in both digital download and physical CD format from our favorite on-line source for independent music, bandcamp. Click here to preview and order the album on-line!

February saw the release of my first solo record in almost 7 years! “This Ragged World We Spanned” is a 7″ vinyl record which includes a voucher for a free digital download, available on-line from bandcamp. My heartfelt thanks go out to Jacob Silver and Media Blitz Records, who put out the record on their Brooklyn label. Media Blitz also features recordings by my talented friends Aoife O’Donovan and Mike Merenda. Read more about Media Blitz Records here!

June 12-17, I’m excited to be teaching at the Miles of Music Camp located on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. Founded by my musical compatriots Laura Cortese and Kristin Andreassen, and featuring an all-star cast of instructors, this all-ages camp will combine instrumental instruction, songwriting and singing, outdoor recreation, and general merriment and revelry! Spots are filling fast, and this promises to be an incredible week of fun and musical enrichment. Visit the miles of music website for more details and registration information.

I’ve got lots of exciting live shows in the next few months, including a New England tour with word-wise songwriter Robert Sarazin Blake, shows with Cambridge’s finest Session Americana and Kris Delmhorst, a spot teaching guitar at Big Sur Fiddle Camp and follow-up West Coast Tour with Fiddler extraordinaire Tashina Clarridge, a live performance singing the role of Orpheus in Anais Mitchell’s Hadestown, and an acoustic feature in an incredible cross-genre gathering of world-reknown jazz, classical, and folk musicians called GALA NYC, May 7th at the Brooklyn Lyceum. Scroll down to see the schedule!

As always, it’s great to hear from everyone. Please email me your thoughts and questions, and I look forward to seeing you at my shows this spring!
