I'm off for the 2025 Midwest Arts Expo




Three days of meeting, greeting with artists and industry pros. 
 I showcase every night and will have the band with me on the Wednesday night showcases.

This Friday I've been asked to perform a selection from Forgottonia as part of the program for the 50th Anniversary Gala of Illinois Humanities!

On July the 20th, I premiered the Theatrical show Forgottonia at the Hainline Theater in Macomb, IL.  It was a great success!  Here is the opening narrative and the title song.
On Sunday, May 21st, 2023 I had the pleasure of visiting with WGN's Rick Kogan on his After Hours show to discuss Forgottonia and play a couple tracks. Lsten to the conversation here.

WILL TV Prairie Fire

On July 20th, 2023 WILL-TV, the PBS station from the University of Illinois at Urbana, aired a segment of their new flagship show, Prairie Fire featuring an in-studio performance of me performing the title cut of the new CD, Forgottonia.
Here it is!
