I’m back at Rose City Food Park this Saturday afternoon from 3-4:30pm, as one of the featured musician’s for their Mini Brew Fest. The weather for Saturday looks hot, which means, cold brews and live music wait for you. I’ll be jamming cover tunes from Hall & Oates, America, Billy Joel, Elton John, Elvis and some of my own stuff.
Sit a spell and cool down this Saturday afternoon.
This Saturday afternoon I’ll be playing some of my originals along with cover tunes at the Rose City Food Park (5235 NE Sandy Blvd) from 2:30-4pm. The weather looks great and so should the food. Stop on by – I’d love to see you.
What can I say?
I’m deeply grateful for this incredible adventure I’ve been on with my wife, Barb Hughes, as we celebrate 29 years together on the 29th of April. It just gets better and better.
I am totally Absorbed With You!!!
This Friday, February 3, for any purchase made on Bandcamp, they will donate 100% of their share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working to oppose last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States.
The picture I am holding in the photograph below is of my grandfather, who had dual citizenship. Born in Minnesota but raised in Denmark, he came to live in America circa 1913. Was a WW1 Veteran and eventually settled in Clinton, Iowa owning a small grocery store. I dedicated my 2012 album, “In Those Days,” in part, to my grandfather.
If you feel so led, please visit my bandcamp page and review the music I have for sale. I not only have “In Those Days” available, but some singles and instrumental music, as well.
Also, visit other artists and support them while supporting Bandcamp’s mission to help raise funds for immigrants and basic human rights.
Meet Barb Hughes of Portland, Oregon. Music and communications has filled Barb’s life as a radio music director, on air talent to voice over artist. Barb is also a practical fashion and innovative ideas blogger.

You’ll get home before the big storm hits. Would love to see you there.
Fall is my favorite time of the year for many reasons. But the main reason I love autumn, is it signifies change. And with change, I find myself holding closer to those things that keep me grounded and whole.
Of course, for me, music is one of those things I cling too when dealing with change, not only within seasonal change, but within the changes of life.
The song “Stone of Grief,” was written during a challenging time a couple of years ago. Not necessarily for me, but for the person on the journey of change and healing. I present this song, again, for you who are walking a road-less traveled, so that you may find encouragement on that road. I also share this song for those who are coming along side those treading the waters of change.
