Happy New Year 2014

December was a busy month. I’ve been finishing the final mixes for my upcoming CD in the studio.

But I did take some time for performances in Washington and Vancouver, BC. Among the highlights, was a benefit for hurricane victims in the Phillipines: Reach Across the Water at the Silver Reef Casino with Andy “Badd Dog” Koch.

Janice Cleven Gage, host of the Blues Note at KSVR 91.7FM, invited me to play at the Washington Blues Society Christmas Party at the fabulous Conway Muse. I had a lot of fun playing and listening to some great local talent.

My pre-Christmas performance at the FanClub in Vancouver, BC on Dec. 21st was really special. I invited my daughter to join me on stage to sing harmonies on a couple of my original songs. I’m looking forward to more live shows in the New Year, CD release parties and some touring too.

 

Happy New Year everyone and please support live music!

Summer in the City @ Lions Park

Sequence 01.Still027Summer in the City at Lion’s Park in POCO was a blast.  I had the great opportunity to kick off their summer concert series and played a bunch of my newest songs from my upcoming album with my blues trio.

My daughter, Michelle,  an opera/musical theatre performer agreed to join me for a few songs and it was so fun having her up there.  

The Lion’s Park venue was gorgeous with lots of trees and shade and a hardworking crew of volunteers and staff……an awesome way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon.  Jill POCO 5

Now it’s back to the studio in Vancouver where I am busily doing guitar and vocal overdubs, with bed tracks finished and ready to go.  Check back in for more news and updates on shows.
