Happy Father’s Day!!!

Well, I’ll have to say this is one of the craziest June’s I can remember. We had a waterfall in our basement a couple of weeks ago when the tornado came by town, and this past weekend had a fire on the front lawn from a downed power line. There have been sad times for close friends and joyful times with the birth of sweet baby Trudy (she’s our friends’, but we’ll claim her as our own!). And there’s been some great music…

My favorite this month -  Annie & Rod Capp’s show at Spack’s Barn in Dexter, Michigan in celebration of Annie and Jason Dennie’s birthdays - and the show was terrific. John joined them on bass, and they invited me up to play a couple of songs, which was even a greater treat with Rod, Annie, John, Jason Dennie, Drew Howard, and Billy Mack helping out!

We’ve got some big travels coming up – Brazil in July, Washington, DC in August, and then New York City for the Fall (more about that later)… Soooo… we have one more concert in the Midwest this month before we take off for a while…

UPCOMING CONCERTS:

And we are super excited for our festival concert in Bryan, Ohio. Our friends Bob and Pat Hofbauer from the West Bethesda concert series are hosting the music for the festival (there will be music, games, fireworks…). We played a fantastic festival here this past Fall, and we guarantee it's a great time! They have been volunteering their time and energy (and money) to bring acoustic music to this area of Ohio. They have brought in some unbelievable national folk acts. They are great people and their audience are great people – so come join the great people!

Saturday, June 26^th, 3:30-4:45pm. West Bethesda Folk Music Concerts presents: “Day in the Park” Bryan, OH. Bryan Recreational Park, Jaycee Pavilion. For more information: Email: WBConcerts@WestBethesda.org

Special thanks to Dee and Mike Hunt who produce the Artisans' Circle Gallery concert series in Williamston near Lansing, MI. We had such a fabulous time at this wonderful gallery with an incredible audience. Thanks to all who came out to hear us for the first time, and to Mike and Dee for starting up this great concert series! – we’ll be back to the area!
