WAA in Calgary? Sure! Looking forward to the conference.
Down the Road
I'll be solo, and it gives me an excuse to share my Carl Sandburg poem, my Robin Metz poem (long-time Knox College professor who passed away a couple of years ago and who wrote the foreword to my Are You Famous? memoir), something or other from my September 11 suite of poems, and of course take out the fiddle and mandolin. Looking forward to being back in Galesburg. I think it's the first time in a decade.
Looking forward to being in NW Ohio and seeing lots of long-time friends and making new ones. I'll be breezing in from Illinois, and an event the day before.
I'll be doing a number of events in and around Coffeyville through the Humanities Dept. of the community college there. Tuesday evening, October 18, I'll be doing a public show for the whole community.
I assume it will be back in person this time around.
I expect to make it to this year's Folk Alliance (and bringing new CDs for a change).
I'll have an accompanist or two for a Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones show, a Stage Door series offering at the historic Columbia Theatre in Longview. Guaranteed: not only a stellar accompanist or two, but lots of fun, inspiration, and surprises.
It'll be a Northwest and Alaska year at AWP. I look forward to it, and seeing friends who didn't make San Antonio pre-pandemic, and Philadelphia as we strive to enter endemic times.
I'll be joined by Tim Kerr & Jerry Hagins (aka Up Around the Sun) and by Beth Chrisman, and maybe a surprise or two. Expect at least one outreach event--looks like we'll be doing a school matinee show on Thursday morning, April 20.
