June Tour-Memphis, St. Louis, Indy, Newark OH, Columbus & New York Faerie Fest!

Hi, fans and friends!  I just got back from the first ever Caldera Pagan Music Festival, which hosted three solid days of concerts AND the release of our compilation CD The Green Album, and it was the experience of a lifetime.  My gratitude and all of my high fives go out to the organizers, the community, and all of my friends and colleagues on stage and backstage.  Keep your ears open for the future of that event, because CalderaFest will be back!  Just wow.

I found out early this week that I get to play a set in Memphis this Saturday, at a #SemicolonProject event hosted by Underground Art in Cooper-Young!  This is my only Tennessee gig until this fall.  It’s free, it runs from noon to 6pm, and I’ll be playing around 4:30.  Hope you can make it, Memphis peeps!

SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 12-6PM:  ILLUMINATED SEMICOLON EVENT TO BENEFIT MEMPHIS CRISIS CENTER!

Underground Art

2287 Young Ave

Bring a dish, stay and celebrate! Come one, come all!

UPDATE:  At the time of this writing, Mama Gina is in the hospital in St. Louis, preparing for emergency foot surgery that’s forced her to cancel her area shows at The Focal Pointe and StL Pagan Picnic this weekend.  That makes your support and attendance at the June 18 concert, which is going forward as planned, doubly important and doubly appreciated.  Please join us if you can and help Mama Gina feel the love!  If you cannot be there, please help us spread the word.
Join in the excitement and share the Facebook event page.

It’s going to be a while before the work is done.  We will let you know when we’re getting close!
