Hello, it’s been a while… Not much, how bout you? Well, that ’s not entirely true… There’s a bunch going on that I finally am thrilled to share with you.
2022 has been a year of transition for me. For starters, early this year, I spent my last few months performing with the Cabana Dogs. Nothing negative there. I enjoyed my time with the Dogs and care about them very much. The time away has given me the chance to focus more on returning to writing, recording, and performing as a solo act. I truly wish the Cabana Dogs well and hope to be able to share the stage with them on occasion sometime in the future!
I have continued to enjoy performing as the guitar player and as a vocalist for the Celtic/World Band-Eireann’s Call. We spent many weeks on the road in 2022 everywhere from South Florida on up through Amherst, Massachusetts playing in some wonderful theatres, festivals and the occasional Celtic watering hole. We are on the road again before the year closes out bringing our show to our friends in North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. We hope to see you out there!
My renewed focus on my solo act has led me back to Hideaway Studios in St. Petersburg, FL with my friend/producer/engineer/and amazing musician, John Kelly. We are finishing up work on the final tracks of my newest CD with an expected release prior to the end of 2022! I’m thrilled with the results to this point, and can’t wait to share the new tunes with you! I have taken the liberty of “leaking” one or two of the tunes to a few of our favorite radio stations, so keep listening to all of those fine stations that support our trop rocking’ genre.
I’m putting plans together to take the new CD as well as some of my older favorites out on the road, hopefully coming to a house concert venue near you soon. Additionally, you will see me again at Music on the Bay in Tampa in early March. If you were one of the kind fans that was first to buy tickets that included this year’s Thursday night VIP Party, we appreciate it! Again, you will be able to sing along with all of the artists in attendance that weekend, in a truly intimate, party setting. It’s always one of my favorite events of the year! Oh, yea… I will be taking the stage at MOTB on the Sunday of the event with some of my musical buddies. I will share the line up in the next few weeks! Again, can’t wait!
Well, that’s where we are to this point. I will do my very best to keep you up to date more frequently as 2022 concludes. Thank you for all of your support! I look forward to seeing you out on the road!
