ON TOUR -- midwestern US this week!

Today I fly to the midwest for a little musical visit, November I go to Scandinavia and the Netherlands, February France -- here's a roundup.

I’ve had a wonderful gaggle of relatives visiting for the better part of the past week, which has been great, aside from my friend, and very close friend of my sister’s and of many other people in the Boston area, Jenn Bliss, dying over the weekend at the age of 50. She was with friends in Mexico, where she spent a lot of time. The Jenn Bliss I knew was a very small woman possessed of a very big heart, a sharp wit, and lots of musical talent. I have lots of fond memories of hanging out with her at Bonnie’s place in Jamaica Plain, visiting with her in New York City, talking about life and playing music. She’s being missed by many.

On a hopefully happier note, I just thought I’d send out a missive about tour plans, particularly the ones this week in Ohio and Michigan.

If you or someone you know is anywhere near Cleveland, Kalamazoo, or Ferndale (Detroit), folks can just email me for info about these gigs, they’re all house concerts.

On October 31st I fly to Copenhagen. Kamala Emanuel will join me to sing harmonies at shows in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway from November 2-16, then we go to the Netherlands for two nights. We have a couple of free dates for other potential gigs in Scandinavia, as well as in the Netherlands, if anyone might be inclined to organize something.

2024 Plans

For the first half of February we’ll be in France recording an album with a stellar cast of musicians near Toulouse. For the last half of February our hope is to do gigs in Belgium, Switzerland, and Germany, depending on what might come together. If you’re in that part of the world and might be up for organizing something, I’d love to hear from you.

Same goes for the last week of March/first week of April in the northeastern US. I’ll be visiting family with family during that time, but also doing some gigs, like in Boston, Ithaca, and hopefully elsewhere.
