New Year gigs

Starting January 8th we start a monthly gig at Cafe Racer that will take place every second Saturday till they ask us to stop. I plan on having friends and other bands opening or closing to help it work for us and Cafe Racer. Please join us if you can and spread the word. We have a few new band members and I hope to talk Stuart Dempster in joining us when his schedule allows. The big show will on april 2nd at the Chapel that will feature two pieces I wrote and will be played by Dale Speicher (Mirimba) and Kate Olson (Sax/woodwinds). We will also will have Melissa Walsh 0n Harp, Stuart Dempster on trombone/counch and Archana Bennur on vocals.
I hope to see you in the new year.
