Sunday I am honored to be performing "virtually" at the Greenwich Village Folk Festival. They tell me I performed at the very first live GVFF way back in 1987 (I think it was '87). I do remember it, that festival always had nice crowds. Since the CoVid pandemic they've been doing it virtually and streaming it live as well as archiving it on their website.  There are 8 performers for the virtual GVFF and each one will play 3 songs for about 15 minutes. I will do 2 originals, one called "H ...Continue Reading

I am excited to play again at The Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House in Jensen Beach on Saturday. It is a beautiful and historic restaurant with a spectacular view of the Indian River, and a delicious menu. Oh and pretty darn good music as well.  I've been doing a recording project with my new friend Elliot Zimmerman who plays piano, organ, bass, and sings. He's also an entertainment lawyer. It looks like it'll be a compilation cd featuring some of the best blues artists in the area. We've already rec ...Continue Reading

The "Blues Over Easy Jam" at Kelly Brothers is always a great time and last Wednesday was no exception. A lot of high quality players there, some young guns, and some let's call 'em "mature muskets". The gun reference is merely a metaphor, as you no doubt know, but I do like a player who comes fully "loaded" and "aims" at the right target at the right time. Doctor Mike Ancona has been leading the jam with drummer Stephen Jeremia for years and lays down a solid fou ...Continue Reading

The outdoor stage is near The Rise which is a tall condo building with a mall all around it that is loaded with delicious places to eat. The ...Continue Reading

Blues Bobby from the South Florida Blues Society is a good pal of everybody in the blues scene around here, and that includes me.
