Summer gigs (SO FAR - more to be added)

Well after a very busy spring including the move into a new house (YAY!  Great music studio and rehearsal space!!), I'm catching my breath and looking forward to lots of fun music this summer with my various projects. I love making music with all of my talented cohorts and hope you can make some of the shows to share in the fun!

The "Big Picture" for the summer...
Here are descriptions of current projects. See below for schedule.

ACOUSTIC ALLOY (TC Peart and myself, often with help from percussionist "Bad Alan"):
We will play once a month at Babe's (on the patio, or inside if rain), plus one show at The Brink in August...and a few other gigs are in the works before TC relocates to Las Vegas in August (yes, sad to say she is moving). We do pop/rock/country/folk covers including well-known and some cool but lesser known tunes. (Everything from "Why Not Me" to "Uptown Funk.")

COMMON CHORD (Michael Bryant and myself with help from Delores Jenison, Faye Bruggink, and often "Bad Alan" on percussion, plus a special guest at each show):
We play once a month at The Brink Lounge and will have some other things being added to the schedule soon. These shows feature lots of originals (esp. Michael's great tunes), plus our arrangements of some unique covers, and a whole buncha instruments and harmonies.

CORNERSTONE - The church band I've been part of for 10 years - has official ended as a band, BUT I'll be making an appearance with some various ensembles now and then at Good Shepherd Lutheran (Raymond Road, Madison).

SOLO SHOWS: Rare but I do them now and then. I really enjoy making music with others so focus on the collaborative stuff these days.
