A little
slow getting my October newsletter out; I've been super busy getting
ready for the annual FAR-West (Folk Alliance Region-West) Music conference down in Irvine.
I am playing showcases on the way down and back with Songwriters At Play, playing several showcases at the
conference, hosting my own showcase room; and I am stage manager for
the big acts on Friday and Saturday nights. Whew!! I am going
to be one happy and tired puppy when it is all over.
I'll be driving down in my flashy new convertible. Well, not really new. I broke the back window out of it last month by lowering the top with a guitar case sticking up in the back seat. The guitar is fine, and the wallet is recovering. The new top looked so good that I had to get the car painted too. Like I said, I been busy getting ready for Southern California :-).
Got some good music to tell you about. I was at the American River Music Festival up in the California gold country for the first time in September. It is a small festival in a beautiful setting. Trevor Green was a nice discovery - a one man band with guitar, foot board, harmonica and didgeridoos!! Great songs and sound. Ray Wiley Hubbard was also a nice find. Many other good bands too -- join me there next year!!
Did quite a bit of performing myself in September, too. First time at the Ruth McGowan Brewpub way up in Cloverdale and that was a bunch of fun. (I'll be back there in October and December.) Had a four show weekend starting last Friday at the Monkey House Theater with the Don't Look Back String Band, a street party on Saturday, the Cole Valley Fair on Sunday morning, and the Piedmont Harvest Fair that afternoon. All were fun and the Monkey House in particular is a real gem of a place -- put it on your list of places to check out.
Got several club gigs coming up and a house concert. Please check out my calendar for dates and details. Your interest in my music making is very much appreciated.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful Fall. I always like hearing from you when you get the chance. All the best,
John
