Filled With Gratitude

I know I’m dating myself here, but Holy Bananas, Batman! It is true to say I had high hopes as usual when it comes to releasing this new album, but you, dear listeners, have exceeded my expectations and it’s only been ten days. The new single, “Blowin’ Smoke” is blowin’ up, and I finally smashed through Spotify’s 1k stream mark, which is a goal I have had my eye on for some time now. As of this writing, it’s nearing the 2.5k mark with no signs of slowing down, and the number of monthly listeners has skyrocketed. So to you, dear listeners, I say a most heartfelt THANK YOU! I am so glad you’re digging the new music, I have much more on the way, including the next single release on 9/17. Stay tuned, and keep listening!

The Return of Live Music

My oh my, how I have missed you! Not just here on the blog, but in the real world of live music, group gatherings, and back porch pickin’ sessions. But now that it’s June 2021, and vaccination rates being what they are (at least here in Colorado), live music is making a comeback! And it couldn’t happen at a better time. I have spent the past year plus in the following ways: 1. Reeling from the pandemic. 2. Finding new ways to pass the time, such as building a woodshop in my garage. 3. Still reeling from the pandemic. 4. Writing new songs and making a new album! More on that later, as the release date is still TBD, but that album is finished and I am bursting at the seams to share it with you. In the meantime, I do hope to see you soon at one of the live shows I’ve been lining up. The World Tour (ok fine, Colorado Tour) starts this Saturday 6/5 at Upslope Brewery in Boulder (5pm), followed by 7/1 at BOCO Cider (also in Boulder, 5pm), and 7/21 at Denver’s Botanic Gardens. I hope you and your families are safe and well, ready to come out and get your folky boogie on with me. Stay tuned!
