Would you like to host a house concert?

To all my friends and fans in the east and midwest: I'm currently booking a July tour around a guitar workshop I'll be teaching. I would love to fill out the calendar more with a house concert or three. I'll be in VA/MD/DC/WV for two weeks starting July 4th weekend. So I could land a date the week before or on the way back to CO,perhaps in Indiana, Missouri, or Kansas.

Live Music: What is it Worth to You?

Greetings, Friends and Fans.



After finishing up 2009 with a wonderful tour in Florida I’m home for the next few months, and thought I’d take the opportunity to do a little research regarding live music and its place in our busy lives.



We’re all so busy. We all spend more and more time on “social networks”—definitely networking, but how social is it? Likewise, we access music in so many more ways than live and up-close—we download, we trade files; once in a while we even… Continue

And thank you Eric, for the kind words! I see you're a builder--perhaps I'll get the chance sometime to try out one of your guitars. By the way, I'm doing a solo show in Boulder this Sunday--a little bit of a hike from Erie, but if you're inclined it would be great to meet. Warm regards, Michael

Michael, I really enjoyed "Le Marchais..." and your playing. I'll listen to more later. Thanks for the invite! Eric
