BIG NEWS: Bazaar Cafe is safe thanks to everyone's generosity and quick thinking! Through the Bazaar fundraiser efforts, I found out that my friend Ake Olssen in Sweden won a photo contest with a photo he took at one of my old Bazaar shows. I'm gonna get in touch and get a copy to post for you all to see! Plus - I'll be playing at the cafe sometime this spring - the date's been pushed back, but I'll let you know as soon as we get a new spot on the calendar. Meanwhile - come over to Dolores Park Cafe on Friday 2/24 - I'm the first set - nice and early at 7:30 - so come get a good seat, some tasty food and check out a few tunes. Kelly and Jeannie are joining me!
Where have I BEEN? Well, last summer I was all over SE Asia, visiting temples and friends, learning about Balinese music and Thai cooking, hunting durian and the hawker food stalls of Singapore . . . and more . . . I've been teaching - a lot - meditating - a lot! - falling in love - a lot! Still, the muse is restless and gently pushing me out the door to share these songs she gave me. I want to know how you've been! Leave me a note, come to a show - Let's share some stories and tunes soon. XoL
THIS MONTH:
Wow! What a night we had last Friday over at Dolores Park Cafe! It felt so good to be out playing music with Jeannie and Kelly. It was a packed house, a tight set and a glorious Mission night. The other bands were fabulous - tight harmonies, cool riffs and rhythms . . . hope to be at it again soon! Thanks to all who came out, bought a CD, brought a friend!
NEXT UP: I'm in production at my school on a Bali music project celebrating the cycles of rice - with all my students. The show is at the beginning of April. After that I hope to get back out on the circuit. Thanks for all your encouragement! See you soon!
