it's been forever and ever it seems... now on a new continent and in a new town. old faces seem to reappear as new songs are in the clear. and now I'm about to post them here.

a belated merry christmas and a happy new year -  to all.

So it's been awhile, been busy moving and finishing the new record. most of it's done except mixing. many thanks to Mike Nolan for use of his studio (GridleyRecords studio) to record drums in. thanks also to Mike for playing the pedal steel, Arthur Holøien for playing the bass, Tony Lauria for keys and accordion,  and finally Katherine Etzel for swinging by and duetting with me on a couple of songs (I'll post them here on the site as soon as they're mixed!). so I've finally moved back to Europe after almost 10 years in the US, and will be calling England home for a while... Thanks to everybody who's supported and helped me over these last years in NYC, LA and elsewhere.  I'm planning on being back on a regular basis, so keep checking back in for gig-dates stateside. hope to see you all soon. Be well.

To anybody who were at the Cross Pollination gig at Piano's last week and signed my mailing list, please email me as I somehow seemed to mislay my mailing list clip board somewhere later that evening. It had nothing, I repeat, absolutely NOTHING to do with the 8 or so pint-sized glasses of Makers Mark I endulged in that night... 

NEW SHOW JUST ADDED - This Thursday at the Kings County Opry!! Come and check out the much talked about Brooklyn country music scene!!
