Upcoming events.
The following is a listing of my upcoming performances. I’ll try to update the calendar as often as possible. Please note that I don't list private events (of which I do many). For this reason, and because gigs sometimes get canceled, if you’re checking for my availability on a specific date, please contact me directly to be sure of my schedule. Otherwise please come out and support some hard-working artists!! Thanks...
