From a sunset setting above Lemgo, Germany, where I sat in the red art installation, comes this photo.

Only two flight changes. No lost luggage or guitars, despite those flight changes. No missed trains despite arrival time changes at the last minute! No jet lag! Great weather in Germany! The frosting on this already tasty cake was found at my wonderful reception and concert in Bühl, as you can see from these concert photos […]

Hi All- Just a quick post to remind everyone about Steve’s incredible camps, where yours truly will teach fingerstyle guitar for the first week, along with a wonderful group of instructors in many styles and disciplines. Let me know if you’re interested, and come on out to east Tennessee for a chance to swim in your […]

I just received two photos from Eveline at the Cafe des Artes in Grenoble, where I performed on Thursday, October 16. The day before had been one for the storybooks, with a German train strike turning my relatively simple trip from the Dusseldorf area to Grenoble into an epic 9-connection, run-from-train-platform-to-train-platform adventure that lasted until […]

You don’t see it here, but if you check out this blog you’ll find a Youtube link for my concert at the Feiermaus Siegelbach. Many thanks to Kunstgriff Productions, Ursula and Jörg, und besonders zu Iris für meine lecker Abendessen und fantastich trocken Rotwein. I hope to return in April of 2016 to the wonderful […]

First, a big thank you to Uli Kopka for transporting and befriending me during my too-short trip to Wuppertal. It was such an enjoyable night that I’ve already bothered him with a request for my return in April of 2016, when I come to Germany for my next tour. Here is a link to some […]

I posted this early, before my show, because I wanted folks to see me as a left-hander, just for a change, or just to make folks wonder, ‘What is wrong with this photo,” (other than the fact that I am wearing a sports jacket? Someone in Torino with too little espresso or too much time […]

My return trip to the Madame Guitare festival in Friulia went wonderfully, with an atmospheric stage set in front of the Tricesimo cathedral, a large and attentive audience, and perfect (for a change) weather. As usual, Marco Micone was everywhere, doing everything to keep the festival humming. New French friend Michel Gentils showed me some […]

The photo tells most of the story- in southernmost Germany, in the old city of Burghausen , a stone’s throw from Austria across the Donau River, sits Knoxoleum, a venue carved out of 500 year-old buildings and renovated by Franz, the owner, in the quirkiest, most glass-centered, fashion that one can imagine. The venue is […]

Another perfect Saturday evening in Carolyn’s Garden for her backyard concert series. This year the weather cooperated much better than last, with perfect temps and a photo-op sunset for the second set. It’s an August tradition, which I hope to carry forward to next year. Mighty thanks to Carolyn, and to all of my friends, […]

Thanks to the imaginative mind of Ravi Khalsa, a concert attendee at my show on Saturday night at Fiddler’s Dream in Phoenix, we have this photo from his Flickr site. My concert in Phoenix followed a nice visit to Flagstaff on Friday, and  took me from warm coat weather to shorts and a T-shirt for […]

Thursday, March 13 at the Gallivan Hall in downtown Salt Lake City was the location for a wonderful, atmospheric show, sponsored by Excellence Concerts and supported by many downtown groups and cultural entities around the Salt Lake Valley. 300+ attendees brought their enthusiasm and energy, the beautiful early spring weather set a wonderful backdrop, and […]
