Wow!! What can I say about a ten – date tour ? I enjoyed having a gypsy caravan of several vehicles and friends/family travelling with me… sure beats hitting the trail all by your lonesome…We played some really superfine clubs – The Beachland Ballroom Tavern in Cleveland was such a great pleasure! We can’t wait […]
On The Road in June We got to play at our favorite dive bar in Memphis – Hernando’s Hideaway And then when the universe aligned with the metaverse, we performed at the 2022 Summer Solstice Festival at Long Hungry Creek Farm And then we got to do a split-bill with the Amazingly talented Anana Kaye […]

Mike Younger – Burning the Big Top Down This 9-track LP was “lost” & fortunately reclaimed by Nova Scotia-native Mike Younger 20-years later. I always question what the word “lost” means.
