This Friday evening at Cellar 55 in Vancouver, WA, I will be joined by my H-Duo partner Jeff Haagenson.

dsc_0044Jeff and I have played in a full band together for nearly 13 years and off and on as a duo.  I invited Jeff to join me this Friday to resurrect some of our favorites we haven’t played in awhile.  Our set list includes: Jason Mraz, Hall & Oates, Ingrid Michaelson, Train, Bruno Mars, Dan Folgelberg, James Taylor, along with some original blues instrumentals and whatever else comes to mind.  Each of us will also take turns doing some solo stuff, as well.

Join us this Friday evening starting at 6:30.  Great way to end your week and start your weekend.DSC_0029

1 Reply

Taking a little over 400 mile round trip working excursion east  to Kennewick, WA., to help the Hughes Physical Therapy celebrate 25 years in business. Owner,  David Hughes, is the cousin of my wife, Barb Hughes, and he’s hired me to perform music from 11am-2pm this coming Friday in his office in Kennewick, WA.

Being a 3 hour gig, my typical music selection will be peppered with more instrumental songs, most of them originals.  Fun to pull those out from time to time.

Looking forward to seeing some of my wife’s extended family along with good driving weather.

I, along with songstress Cynthia O’Brien, will reappear once again for your Friday evening, end of the week, kick back with a red or white wine in hand, musical treat at the Vancouver wine tasting room, Cellar 55 from 6:30-8:30pm  We so enjoyed our last visit, especially when several guests decided that our rendition of Brown Eyed Girl on ukelele’s was so much fun, they got up and danced.

Once again, I’ve been invited back to Cellar 55 this Friday evening from 7-9pm.  I’ve been adding a few more cover tunes to my mix of Kenny Loggins, Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Chicago, and others.  A smattering of originals thrown in for good measure.

Would love to see some familiar faces and especially for you wine lovers, Cellar 55’s reputation is growing.  You can visit their Facebook page for more information.

See you Friday evening at 7pm.

Remembering…

Leave a reply

Today would have marked the 59th birthday of one of my older sister’s birthday.  Martha, lost her battle with cancer at the age of 3 1/2.  I was 18 months old when she died and have no recollection of her.  However, we have plenty of pictures to remember her by.

Over the years, I’ve written several songs in Martha’s memory.  The most recent was in 2013. Today is a day of gratitude and remembering.

This week in music finds me preparing for two gigs.  Tuesday evening, HomeBrew, will be performing at Velo Cult Bike Shop, 1969 NE 42nd Ave, in Portland’s historic Hollywood District. We play from 7-8:15pm and are the first of two bands.  It’s a benefit for Oregon Special Olympics and there is a $10 suggested donation.  Showing up early is highly encouraged.

Wednesday evening, what used to be my monthly Jade Lounge gig has gotten even more intimate.  Meeting in a home with Jade Lounge band members and friends for an evening of sharing songs we all know, along with hearing some originals.   Should be a wonderful evening of music and laughter.
