Hello friends,<\/p>\n

While avoiding some work to close up my New Hampshire cabin for the winter, I enjoyed playing an old folk song that I have been singing for forty five years yet never recorded. Join me at the wood stove as I sing “Blind Fiddler” and remember Jehile Kirkhuff, the blind fiddler whom I met at the same time I learned this song.<\/p>\n

My song “In the Space Between Your Words<\/a>” was named a finalist in the 2021 Maine Songwriters Association song contest. Congratulations to the top three songwriters: Oliver Rhodes, Andrea Goldman Cole and Ric Allendorf.<\/p>\n

I am not accepting any indoor gigs until we make greater progress controlling COVID; however I am having a lot of fun expanding my music community via virtual events. In particular, I frequently appear virtually in the UK, featuring at folk clubs throughout England and Scotland. Regardless of where you are geographically, if you would be interested in hosting a virtual house concert for yourself and friends, please contact me<\/a>. I can take care of all of the technical aspects, and if you like, I can invite a music friend or two to add to the fun!<\/p>\n
