……….in the bardic tradition……….
July 25. On stage at the 39 Days of July Festival. Venue: Duncan Showroom, Duncan, BC
February 20 2017 Recording ‘live on stage’
The Duncan Showroom is the best place for this ‘live from the stage’ recording event. The venue has excellent audio and lighting equipment in a small, comfortable room loaded with atmosphere. I will do original tunes for an audience that will, hopefully, include you. I’ll do the same songs in each of two sets and take the best of each to make an EP. Your donation of $5 – $10 gets you in for both sets – at 8 and 9pm.
February 7, 2017 – Three tunes at an open mic.
