Come to the old Bergton Elementary for a spaghetti supper and tunes! I'll be playing with the Nameless Bluegrass Band (No, really, we can't think of a name!) featuring Ramona Shenk, Mike Shenk, Mark Currence, and me. Harmonies and nostalgic songs in a mostly-bluegrass style.
Delightful food and tunes just right for the mood you're in.
Come enjoy great local food, coffee roasted with love by Lucas Roasting right here in Broadway, and songs carefully crafted with Valley materials. What a great place! Plenty of room. Sit up close to pay rapt attention to the music or enjoy reading and chatting on the couches by the fire. I'll be featuring songs from my latest release, On the Shores of a Dream.
Tip jars available for your kind donations, but there's no cover charge, so let's pack the place!
Together w/ Mike Shenk. Warm duets to prevent a blue Christmas.
Playing with Mike and Ramona Shenk. You'll love Ramona's voice--reminiscent of Emmylou, and Mike's spritely mandolin. We'll play all those sad songs that make you feel good!
Come enjoy the fall sunshine, the apples, and the cider!
Ramona and Mike Shenk will join me to sing originals and some rustical quality favorites by the likes of the Carter Family and Emmylou Harris.
The Art Group Gallery is a warm and wonderful place--just to soak in the ambiance or to get a few gifts. And the Harvest Festival is a delightful small-town event.
The weather will be fine; come enjoy the fall sunshine.
