Back to Rose City Food Park This Friday

I’m back again this Friday evening, July 13, at Rose City Food Park from 6-8pm.  Great evening to bring the family, date night, whatever it may be.  Wonderful vendors and some outstanding food.

I’ll play my take on lots of cover tunes from 50s-60s-70s, add a few originals just to spice it up.  I would love to see some familiar faces and a few new ones.  Please join me this Friday evening.

Rose City Food Park is located at 5235 NE Sandy Blvd., Portland, 97213

Saturday at Rose City Food Park

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.

Reflections

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.

 

Welcome to my newest followers

I’ve added a number of new followers to my web site recently, and I wanted to welcome you and thank you for being interested in what I do musically.

Back in August of 2012, I released, “In Those Days.”  Eight original songs that reflect a wide aspect of my musical tastes, genre and storytelling. Described as songs of love, life, family and faith.

I also enjoy creating instrumental songs such as “Goodbye.” A contemplative solo keyboard piece that has been in my musical tool kit for over 30 years.  And new songs like, “Sabbath.”  Incorporating an intense, emotional connection with the listener.

“Stone of Grief,” tackles the often misunderstood subject of grief and healing from trauma.  Many have good intentions, but often times they ignorantly cause harm to the person facing the challenges of recovery.  This is a deeply personal song for me.

But, I also have a playful side.  “I Love My H-2-O,” is a testimonial of my love of drinking water.
