Greetings, fellow music lovers! Welcome to the June edition of my newsletter. I know it’s been a while since I last dropped a line, so I have lots to tell you!
First off, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s picked up my new album, Black Out the Blue. I had so much fun making it for you. If you haven’t had a chance to grab a copy yet, you can get one at an upcoming show, on Itunes, and at a number of other online music vendors – or if you happen to live in my hometown of Des Moines, then you can also find the album at any of these lovely local hangs: the Village Bean, Mars Café, and Found Things. Feel free to drop a line and let me know what you think about the new tunes!
June Performances: I’ll be staying pretty close to home this month, as you can see below. But not to worry – I’ve started work on another tour for late/summer early fall, when I’ll hit the road again and come see all of you fabulous folks hanging in other cities across the Midwest. Let me know if you want me to add your city to my upcoming tour, especially if you know of a great venue in your town that you think would love what I do -please let me know about them.
