Live Shows - Venues and Other Performances
Although my live performances started up again in 2021, my number of performances have been significantly limited as I am focusing on writing and demoing songs for film and television, creating and recording new works, and presenting songwriting classes.
In addition to booking a limited number of "traditional" live performances at venues and festivals, I'm looking at doing "alternative" live performances soon. I am looking ot increase the number of house concerts I do locally, and ultimatley developing those more regionally once I can "link" several of them within a days driving distance of each other to make them viable. If you would like to consider hosting one of those, check out my /house-concerts page on this website for more about what they are and a look at what's involved and get in touch with me to discuss the details..
I'm also working on developing a few "pop-up" type performances where I'll find an unconventional place to play, promote a performance there, and play live...Places might be: a park, an unused bandshell, maybe even a campground or, hey, a truck stop or a seldom used train station ...who knows...Stay tuned.
And I will be recording some live concert performances for on demand videos. When they become available, you will be able to see them by clicking on the Live Streams & Video tab /live-streams-on-demand-videos on this site and selecting what you'd like to see.
And, if you'd like to get notified of any of these things as they come up, subscribe to my email list at the bottom of my Home page /home and you'll hear about them as soon as they are scheduled or made available.
Beyond that, I'll continue to book performances selectively at listening room type venues and festivals from time to time, and those will be listed here when booked. Until a performance opens up near you, please drop by at one of my weekly livestreams when those resume (see below for links and details).
I will also be working on creating a subscription service and an opportunity to become part of a group of my followers and fans who can come together to get things like closed access livestreams, meet with me in the virtual "green room" sessions, see and hear parts of the songwriting and recording process not available to others, and other special things not available to the general public. That may take the form of a Patreon membership, or something similar.
