Facebook Fan Fridays
I've decided to make Friday my official weekly thank you day - to all of my amazing fans. Every week I'll post a picture with me that, in some form, has the number of Facebook fans for that week. Thanks to the 703 for LIKING and all for listening!

The Buttonwood Tree
It was great to get back to CT to share a night of music. Here are some photos from the show at The Buttonwood Tree - Middletown, CT. Photos by the talented Marc Cheung / Egil Photo.
Rockwood Music Hall Show
The Rockwood Music Hall show was a special treat. We got some great video footage from the show to post online for you! I love playing the stage at Rockwood and connecting with an audience as energetic as the one that filled the house. Here is a pic from the show, and I can't wait to share the video soon!
The Wrapping Paper Is Off

Welcome to the new website for my blog. It already feels like home.
Hurricane Sandy
By now I am sure all of you have learned of, or felt the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy. There will be time for growth and reflection. I will sit down and work to capture the stories in song... but not just yet. For the coming days it is more important to put down my guitar and pick up what was destroyed, help a food kitchen or shelter, and lend a hand to those in need. Our impact still makes a difference, and will for some time - through donation of time or money. We do what we can. Reflection will come, but now action is still needed.
See you all out there.

My Own Backyard

Had a nice time getting to explore some unexpectedly interesting places here in NYC. It's nice to have a hometown where you can always discover something new.
