Stepping Out!

This, my first full summer in Salem, has given me a opportunity to play a number of gigs, both solo and with my wife as Domestic Harmony,

One place I feel almost like a regular is Venti's South in Salem. I'll be playing there for the fourth time on September 1st, and I'm really looking forward to it! Jean Marie will join me that night, so you're in for a treat.

I've also added a few new tunes to my play list, both covers and originals. At bars and restaurants, I tend to play more familiar tunes, but the audience has been receptive to both recently! And my covers are often re-imaginings of a familiar title, so they feel "original" to me, as well.

Here's a sample of what to expect. This is my set list from my last Venti's date. My next will be at High Water Grill in Silverton, and with the third hour, I get to play many more. But here's a two-hour sampling of what you might hear if you come to one of our shows. I'm sure you'll recognize a few! The asterisks indicate originals.
