Richland, WA: Tumbleweed Music Festival

Lovely Howard Amon Park lost a tree last year, and the result--at least as pertains to Tumbleweed--is that the West Stage is now west-facing, rotated 90-degrees from its usual.  And, much as I'm enjoying the nostalgia trip that is singing on a west-facing West Stage for the first time since my first Tumbleweed in 2002, that sun is brutal!  Also consented to attaching a GoPro camera to the headstock of my guitar--watch the sped-up footage of my fingers flying through the 40-minute set here.

Seattle, WA: Musicquarium Lounge at The Triple Door

The Sea Gals' 2014 Calendar Unveiling seems an interesting 3D mainstage pairing, but we got a cool band photo out of it...  And heard a lot of "Woooooo!!"

Seattle, WA: Royal Room (Bushwick Book Club - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)

And down the river we all go...

Seattle, WA: Fremont Fair

Fremont Fair is always a hoot (especially when the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir makes an appearance!), and I enjoy offering up a few Bushwick Book Club tunes to those hearty Seattleites unafraid of a little drizzle...even if I can't compete with Bucket of Honey's choreographed dance routines...  Thanks to the Fremont Abbey for hosting the stage!

Bellevue, WA: Bellevue Library (Bushwick Book Club - Michael Pollan)

For the initial-conscious: another BWBC KCLS gig, this one being recorded by KBCS for future broadcast.

Seattle, WA: Musicquarium Lounge at The Triple Door

Back at the MQ.  Big news here is that the tank, mojo-less for months now, should reemerge soon as a mini-Lake Tanganyika.  Now you know.

Kirkland, WA: Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church

Can't deny the claims of nepotism here: I got this gig because my (second-)cousin and her family are part of the congregation.  Had to come clean, since this morning's sermon--and my set--deals with "Integrity."  Figured a very human song that sets a negative example was one fit...(found a few positive-siders in the rolls, too).  Great room and group of folk!  And cake!!
