Past Highlights:
Saturday, June 25th was the 12th Annual Amnesty International Benefit, and what a time it was!
I'm very proud to have been invited to perform at the 12th Annual Concert and Fundraiser for
Amnesty International
which was held at the Plain Path Farm in Purcellville, VA.
For their big 12th Anniversary, they had some truly incredible talent assembled from around the globe, including world renown sitar player
Alif Laila
AND master tabla player
Debu Nayak!
Also appearing was the wonderful band CORE.
Alif Laila was featured headliner at the Amnesty International Fundraiser on June 25th.
This was an unforgettable day of live music, great food, human rights actions, and a chance to advance human rights!

This will be our 6th show at the Grape, and the musicians all agree, we're treated extremely well, and we always have a great time! They have delicious food and a wide selection of drink specials at very reasonable prices. Perhaps more importantly, Mike continues to support the numerous bands and solo artists in the Valley,and we want to thank him for that.
~ I also want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone back home in NEPA for their amazing support!! ~

Let's see, what else...
I've gotten back into the studio to record some more new material, and I've been writing lots of new stuff as well. I'm shooting for a spring 2011 release, so we have a lot of work ahead of ourselves. Some of the new songs include "Dying Nation", "Fields", "Cruelty of the World", "Laugh", "Quit It" "Open Mic", "Tap that Potential" "Junkies" and "Done". I'll be bringing in some fantastic guest musicians for this project, so stay tuned!

If you want to see a whole bunch of really cool music videos, check out my Youtube Site where you'll find not only some classic Indoe Loop, Joe Herbert and Friends, and The Mad Amalgamation, but tons of other stuff too. Some of my favorites range from early Bee Gees (You gotta watch their performance of 'I can't see nobody') to one of my new favorites - The Weepies. I also have a bunch of rare Dylan, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, plus some strange, weird and wonderful stuff including political rants and mysterious social commentary.
