Cambodia Shows

greetings from Cambodia!!  once again I decided to get out of the states for a few months and travel, write, and play guitar around asia.

I had a sweet, intimate show last night at Abacus in Siem Reap, many thanks to my good friend Renaud who hosted me there and all the beautiful people, mostly french, who came and listened...

on Feb 23rd I play at The Lost Room in Phnom Penh around 8pm

and on Feb 25th I will be at the Bungalows in Phnom Penh, then maybe i will head off to the islands of Cambodia, who knows...

check out the new cd, Ragpickers at cdbaby.com or almost any of the downloading sites including itunes...

thanks!!

The new cd, Ragpickers, is almost done!!  It contains lots of original electric and acoustic blues and urban folk tunes...and it sounds great.  It features Dan Weber on drums, Tige DeCoster on bass, Hugh Sutton on keyboards, and we even got the tasty Sean Divine to blow some harmonica on one song.
