I’ll be rolling back into The Loft at Strafford Farms for a night of roots revelry with my pal Jeff “JHawk” Hawkinson tonight (Friday, April 2). The air’s warm and the beer’s cold, and it’s the last chance you’ll get to see me before the Sox season kicks off. What’s the significance? None really, it’s [...]

Gig Journal – Elysium Arts Folk Club
I’ll keep this short and sweet, as Saturday’s show at Elysium Arts Folk Club to benefit the Dover Children’s Center burned my tank to fumes. I’ve now been doing this toy drive for 10 years running. We started small, grew it to epic proportions (we collected 823 toys in one fell back in 2003), and [...]
Toy Drive a Success!
The total tally for Saturday’s benefit for the Dover Children’s Center: over 120 items (including toys and clothing) and over $300 in gift cards. Thank you all for your donations! Merry Christmas!

Gig Journals – Strafford Farms and NH Brewers Fest
Life’s been crazy around here lately. Everything’s coming to the surface at once. Music’s gone from a part-time endeavor to a second occupation, and living this lifestyle (along with working full-time in the day) has run me into the ground. I’m tired, but it feels amazing, because I’ve been having the time of my life [...]

Studio Update and some FAQs
Thursday night I witnessed perhaps one of the most amazing first-time studio performances ever. Performing music live is unnerving. Recording is like going to the supermarket in your birthday suit. You are undressed to the soul.
Weekend Trifecta – A String of Pearls
A weekend for the ages: three days, three gigs, three incredibly interwoven experiences, with each seemingly picking up where the previous one left off. The trifecta of shows never took me more than 20 miles from home, and yet I felt as though I could’ve been nearly anywhere in the world (anywhere, that is, with [...]
