Still up and driving can’t go home obviously

Music news!

On Sunday August 5 I’m on a plum of a house concert with a whole great lineup of other local acts. It’s a benefit for RAINN, an organization that provides services to survivors of sexual assault and abuse. 4-8pm in Alameda. More details here. 

On Saturday August 18 I’ll be at the Berkeley Humane Bark & Meow Around the Block event. I play at 11:15, but the event goes from 10-4. More details here. 

And for you lovely followers, I’ll admit I’m better at keeping Facebook up to date in these short-attention-span times. I’ve pretty much moved the party there. I also have a page on Reverb Nation with songs, videos and show listings. Come visit. And thank you, always, for supporting local music.

Stone in the sea shot in the dark

Thanks to the DJ at Sweet Sunday Sounds for playing my song!

You had no idea that you were my girl

I’m playing at Berkeley Humane’s Bark (& Meow) Around the Block this Saturday, August 19. Music starts at 10, I’m on at 11:15. Mary Cranley is going to join me on fiddle for a few songs, and you know you don’t want to miss hearing Mary.

After the set I will exercise supreme self-control and proceed directly away from the premises before I can adopt All. The. Puppies.

Old brown suitcase that she carried

YOU GUYS. I made the top 10 on Reverb Nation AGAIN.  I’m not totally sure how that works, but if you were the one listening to my songs, thank you.

Milk-blood to keep from running out

There’s a new poster for the March 11 show!

The night is a benefit for The California Initiative, which is a pretty great group. Albert Einstein said: “Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice.” I like that this concert for peace is going to bring some money to people who work for justice.

The waters around you have grown

I’ll be back at the Fireside on March 11th alongside a whole bunch of actual talent in another Georgia Sam Concert for Peace.
