2026: Back to Touring
Between the pandemic, the loss of venues, back surgery and the move to Floyd, Virginia in 2025, my calendar has been pretty empty.
I am intent on getting out on the road again, knowing in my soul that I am happier and more useful performing, than doing anything else.
I’m available for teaching concerts in schools, public concert series, coffeehouses, house concerts, guitar workshops, music camps and the like. Please reach out and we’ll see if we can make a visit happen.
At this time in my life, making a difference is at least as important as making money. Respect, goodwill, and friendship have become revolutionary acts in our country. Join me in extending those!
