Life on the farm and other meanderings from the road

Hello Friends, Fans and Red-light-runners everywhere!

We are in nature right now and I am writing from a farm house in beautiful Upstate NY. Here, the sounds of crickets and cicadas serenade me as I keep the rhythm on these computer keys. This is our 7
th or 8th trip up North and it's great to be surrounded by such natural beauty and to be greeted by friends and an ever-growing community of musicians and music appreciators each time we visit.


So far on the tour, I rode a tractor and saw a groundhog bigger than most dogs typically seen in NYC, Kelly befriended a cow named Patty, learned 3 new songs on the ukulele and made really good quinoa. Together, we rocked The Churchville County fair like two rogue buskers on a mission, got to go see Steve Earle in concert, and recorded some tracks with our friends in band Woody Dodge. It's been a great time and we look forward to more with you at our upcoming show:) Below is a brief outline of our performances for this next week. More details at the bottom of this email.

Thanks for reading and keeping in touch:) 
Shine On!
