Upcoming Performances:

Well, it turns out I'm not so good at maintaining my website schedule.  In 2020, that doesn't matter too much, because there are hardly any gigs anyhow.  You should follow The High & Wides (www.thehighandwides.com) for most of my gigs, and Only Lonesome (www.onlylonesome.com) for others - on the website, or on social media.  If I have other gigs as a sideman I'll usually mention them on my Facebook artist page, Twitter, and Instagram.
