Hallelujah, we're playing again!

Hopefully the plague will soon be a memory. We've had our ship careened by the master shipwrights Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, and setting sail with masks on and instruments tuned.

Thank ye all who came to the festivals in Des Moines and Harriman, to the concert at Williamson County Performing Arts Center, and to the Tom Mason shows at the 5 Spot and TK2. We're taking a break to do some recording and for me to work on Nashville Shakespeare Festival's 12th Night, but we'll be back in September for The Pilgrimage Festival (Sept 25 & 26) and the Pirates of the High Seas Fest in Panama City Beach. (October 8-10)

If music be the food of love, play on!

I'm absolutely thrilled to be playing Feste the Fool and be the composer/ music director for Nashville Shakespeare Festival's production of "12th Night". It will be directed by Jim Warren, the Founding Artistic Director of the American Shakespeare Center. Performance dates are Thursday-Sunday August 26- September 12 (plus Labor Day), as well as Saturday and Sunday September 18 & 19 in Franklin, Tennessee.

We've been hearing that 2021 is the year of the Sea Shanty (isn't that every year?), so we're posting videos of some of the sea shanties we recorded on the cd Pirate Party. Here's a video of "Bully in the Alley" from our CD "Pirate Party", featuring footage from the silent film "The Black Pirate".

Here's another sea shanty from our Pirate Party CD, Drunken Sailor.
