I will also be singing in random open mic nights all over town on a regular basis as well as playing paid gigs in local bars and restaurants. The life of a musician is hard work! I am also recording a few songs all over the place, with collaborators and alone so stay tuned for future releases of Italian tracks as well as tracks with Mjuk , Graham Spence and Amy Davidson. The nights are getting longer and the light dimmer. This is the right time to put seeds underground so they may spring forth next year....

I also am trying to record and mix the new Italian Album , which is going rather slow due to my
