Come hang out on May 17th at the South Prospect Street Porchfest in Hagerstown, MD!

New: I’ll be sharing a porch with my friends Brenden Bosmans (IG: brendenbosmans) and Andrew Tyler (IG: andrew_tyler_songs) at 260 South Prospect. We’ll be hanging out the whole afternoon, from 2-4PM – come join us!

I’ll be among the lineup of performers; check out the full list and details on the event website.

The Music Instrument Collection, a key sponsor of the event, will be accepting donations of  used instruments to distribute to local students who couldn’t otherwise obtain them. Please consider donating if you have instruments in need of an appreciative home!

My song Brighter Days is now up. It’s a slower, more thoughtful arrangement than the original version I posted on YouTube. As we were working it up, I began to hear different meanings in the phrases – crazy what just changing the tempo a little can do. I hope you hear some of your own story in it, too.

Look for it on your favorite streaming platform. I’m working in the background to get some new songs ready, too, so watch this space…

On Saturday, March 22nd, I’ll be teaching a beginner Old Time rhythm guitar workshop at the Folk Society of Greater Washington Mid-Winter Festival. Come on by and enjoy a full schedule of cool events and outstanding people! More info at FSGW.org.

I’m hosting the F.A.M.E. open mic at the Aya Cultural Arts Center on Feb 28th! Sign up will be posted before and the show starts at 7PM and runs till 9.

You can hear my song, When it Lands, on YouTube. Check out the lyrics, and the embed of the song, here:

I had a really nice chat with Todd C. Walker to kick off the year! Check out Todd’s channel and podcast of the same name for more interviews and great information for acoustic musicians.

I joined some other FAME musicians on stage, as well as the Yellow Springs Elementary School choir, to sing some holiday favorites.

I had a blast performing a set alongside FAME members Brenden Bosmans and April on South on October 6th, 2024. We each played 30 minute (or so) sets while the audience reclined in Adirondack chairs and sipped coffee from the nearby Frederick Coffee Company. Aside from the abundance of spotted lantern flies, it was a perfect day, and perfect way, to cap a busy summer and kick off fall.
