Come and have some great food, Czech, Creole, Cajun, or Cedar Rapidian style, breakfast or lunch, and listen to some blues and ragtime songs. The small restaurant area is next to the Meat Market itself and Lou and those butcher folk will be glad to see you and I will too! After the music, take home some sausage, steak or home-made bacon.
Last show before we head up to Minnesota for the summer. We will think about you all as we dodge mosquitoes so big they have deer ticks hanging off 'em! Still, loons calling in the moonlight, fishing for crappies , bass and northerns, 9 dollars for 18 holes of golf, wine on the screened in porch, cool nights for sleeping! Ahhh!
I used to play the old Uptown Bill's when it was in the Uof Iowa Social Studies Building back a long time ago. The new place has a wonderful stage and it is a joy to listen to music there. I am really happy to have a chance to do my stuff for a new audience!
Great food, especially the fries, great vibe, friendly folks...I love playing this place!
Always great to be back on the stage at the General Store. Fireplace blazing, beer flowing, chatter and laughter from the usual suspects. I will be showcasing songs from the new CD and lots of old stuff as well!
Old friend Mike Quick who tours nationally singing his original songs and wailing away on a Bischoff guitar will do the first set. Then I will do songs from my new CD, Soft Shoulders, Dangerous Curves and we will close the evening with some stuff done together. You will really enjoy Mike's unique chord structures and wry lyrics!
A two-fer. I will be presenting my stuff along with long-time friend and traveling blues troubador Rob Lumbard. We will split the bill and then do a finale set together. This new wine bar, just opened, sounds like a great new venue for live music.
Very excited to return to the town where we lived for 5 years to sing and play for people whom we haven't seen in many years. I wrote quite a few songs during that time, many of them about the wonderful people from Frenchtown. See you there!
A live podcast, radio broadcast concert/interview that is held at Brink's a bar and music venue in downtown Madison. High level video will be produced for Vimeo and for YouTube.
I used to play music in the bar and did a couple of blues festivals at Waubeek with John Hammond and also Bob Dorr's band. Tim just had a stroke and folks are gathering to offer him support. I am not sure of all the folks playing music, but I will be on at 5PM.
I will be doing the between show presentations during stage changes and maybe a little MC work. Magic Slim, a blues legend and Corey Stevens, a Texas guitar-slinger will headline along with three other great blues acts. It will be a great day of the blues!

Chase the winter blahs away with a creative, wood-fired oven pizza and lots of songs from my new CD, Soft Shoulders, Dangerous Curves. Unless there is a shipping mishap from New Jersey, I will have copies available for the first time at this gig!

Blowing the Winter Chill away on a Tuesday night! New sound system, new songs and hopefully the new CD will be available.
Shakin' off the winter blues with some pizza and some new and old tunes. As usual, expect the unusual with drop-in support from the neighborhood musicians! A new sound system and modifications to the foot piano should make for improved listening.
Starting an hour earlier, at 7PM, at the request of the boss. I am looking forward to a return visit. Really great food and the best french fries in Iowa City. Goat sliders are killer too! I have a new sound system and will add 12 string for this gig! See you there!
Back for another visit to my roots. I have a new sounds system and will be doing the first two sets solo and ending the evening with support from old pal Tommy Swearingen on drums and Jimmy Windorff on bass. Should be a wild time up in the northwoods!

A double bill at a great neighborhood tavern!
Back from up in Minne-so-ta, doncha know! Love that pizza!
Sharing the bill with Bob Goffstein, Jim Rossen and Dan Berkowitz. We each do a set (they do crazy jump blues on guitar, harp and bass) and then we join forces for a wild finale set. Last time we played the whole place was up and dancing!
Private house concert
First concert at Stone City since 1989 (I think). Excited to be back on the stage that Margery and I hosted for a year and a half back before we went overseas. Stone City is magical!
Last gig before we head up to Minnesota to fish for crappies, fry them little crappies up in a pan, and eat them little crappies all up!

Looking forward to playing on the new stage amongst the pizza lovers!

I will be doing my show on the Acoustic Stage.
It will be great to be back to South Main, a great venue with a house concert feel. I have offered Pam and the crew to do an afternoon show for the kids with songs from my children's album Don't Make a Dinosaur Sore and traditional kids folk songs. Then, in the evening, I will sing a bunch of my new songs written this year while in Bangkok mixed with songs from my 9 CDs and a whole lot of ancient blues tunes from all those old dead guys! Looking forward to seeing you there!
