Regent Theater in Arlington
An amazing show!!! The Family Folk Chorale is doing a concert of Stevie Wonder songs AND my songs! Huh?!? When did I get this lucky?!? Since Stevie Wonder is my most favorite singer-songwriter and my biggest musical influence, and since the FFC does amazing amazing choral versions of stuff, and since the band will include numerous great musicians, including Tara Greenblatt and Hatrack Gallagher (the best Harmonica player in Boston), I am gonna be in heaven!!!!

April 22 2016: EARTH DAY
at the Eliot Street Soiree!!!!
With DEAN STEVENS, one of the most awesome humans upon planet Earth. He cares as much about the Earth and its multitudinous life forms (including Homo sapiens sapiens) as anyone I know. He is an astonishing singer and guitar player who does things which are basically not possible. It is always an honor to share the stage with him and crazy wonderful things always happen : )

One of the most important concerts of my life! Why? Because I'm splitting the night with one of my all time musical heroes, Linda Waterfall!! She is a master musician, poet, brilliant compassionate healer, wild woman, sister of mine in tree worship, and someone I admire endlessly, and I am SO GLAD to have a chance to hear her and be with her. I will be joined by my dear friends Chris (guitar) and Andrea (bass) Chitouras, and we plan to get down and funky if need be, and probably bring West Africa into the vaulted room at 35 Church Street. Please join us for a memorable night of musical seeking and getting down.
