Bookings and Other Information:
Moonshine
Moonshine is my newest band and we play country music the way
we think it ought to be played. With the core of the Bee String
Band, Kathy Camille and me on guitars, vocals and fiddle, and
the solid rhythm section of Tim Akin on upright bass and Bruce
Pearce on drums, Moonshine plays hits from the 80's through today
as well as a selection of originals. The harmonies are spot on,
the guitars are hot and the fiddle soars above it all as the band
rips through the best of country rock and straight-ahead Nashville
(not bubblegum country), as well as Cajun dance tunes that will
have you up on your feet!
The
Hot Potatoes
With Bob Patetta on guitar and harmonica, Tim Akin
on upright bass, Mark Bussinger on drums and me on guitar and
fiddle, the Hot Potatoes play a blend of
blues and swing
with a New Orleans flavor. From Cajun
dance tunes to classic swing songs to straight-ahead blues, this
group of spuds will have you up on your feet!

Goslee
Reed & Kean
Sarah
Goslee Reed is
an accomplished singer/songwriter with 6 cds to her credit, and
many years of performing under her belt. She and I were aware
of and admired each other's music for years, and we finally met
and performed together last year at Folknet's
Rootstock concert. The decision to make it a regular thing was
an easy one, and we're both delighted with the results. Sarah
is an amazing singer and a fine fiddler to boot. We perform a
mix of originals and covers of country and folk songs, Irish and
fiddle tunes, with an emphasis on strong harmonies, and we even
indulge ourselves in some twin fiddle stuff!

and Kathy
Kathy Camille and I perform regularly as a duo, with the spotlight
on Kathy's strong and unique vocals and fingerstyle guitar work,
and my lead guitar and fiddle. The duet
harmonies are clear
and sweet, and the material ranges from classic country
to
Irish fiddle tunes to
original songs.

Solo
performances cover a wide range of territory, from full-out concerts

Accompanist
As
a sideman, I have played backup and lead guitar for Tom Paxton,
Karen E. Reynolds, the Parker Brothers, Sarah Goslee Reed and
many others. Years of experience have given me the musical skills
and the judgement to know when to step forward and when to stay
in the background, finding ways to enhance the rhythmic and harmonic
foundation of the music.

and concert dates.
