Upon clearer thinking, I have decided to call the new record, simply, Night. We will be mixing it very soon. I am still hoping that it will be done some time early June.

Somebody asked me why I don't have a tour schedule on the website. Why stare at an empty screen I say…I have been trying to concentrate on getting this record done and haven't booked anything in the last couple of months. I am still in the process of putting together a group. Up 'til now I have been playing solo and duo shows.

I have two solo shows coming up in June, Wednesday the 5th is at Racoon River in Des Moines, and Saturday the 8th at the Sanctuary in Iowa City. There are a few weekends in July where I will be the accompanist for a musical performed by kids in Vinton, Iowa. I actually wrote some of the tunes for this. Should be fun. Sorry to say, those of you who are waiting for the repressing of Redemption will have to wait a bit longer as the funds are not available at this time.

While you are waiting to buy my record I suggest you look into these releases. These are some of my favorite records done by friends. Enjoy.
