A Birthday! And A Plane Crash Anniversary!

Duluth Folk School, Duluth MN

I'll be sharing the evening with birthday boy, Ross Thorn, immensely talented Duluth singer, songwriter, roots musician who I met this past August playing at The Northerly's Living Luminaries series. I trust new dad, Kyle Orla, who hosted that night, will be joining us. Me, it'll be the 28th anniversary of my March 2, 1996 plane crash near Nome. We'll be celebrating with fiddle tunes, stories, songs, and more!

11 readers go on at 6 pm. I'm among the 10 that go on beginning at 7:30 for session #2. Lots of great writers from a wonderful press. I'll have my collection, Conditions and Cures, a book I don't often get to read out of. I'm sure I'll play a fiddle tune too. Afterwards, 9 pm, there's a reception/mixer. Limited seating--attendees need to register. Some links are below:

Michigan workshop for artists

Art Reach, Mt. Pleasant

I'll be leading a workshop, SO, YOU WANT TO GO PLACES WITH YOUR ART. It's for artists of all disciplines, all levels of experience, for anyone who want to go further, and be more public than they are now. Music, writing, performance (theater, dance, going on tour), visual art. Everyone can come away with useful lessons.

Finger Lakes Library show

Seymour Library, Auburn NY

Thanks to Poets & Writers, the organization sponsoring the event, I'll be doing a full show with the phenomenal Lydia Garrison joining me. So there will be plenty of poetry on top of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and more. I've learned that William Seward, so instrumental in the purchase of Alaska, has Auburn roots. So, an Alaska show with Alaska poetry and storytelling! But also expect Lydia Garrison singing, and so much more!

Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones, Featuring Lydia Garrison, which means Ken Waldman, with Lydia Garrison, and we're waiting to see who's joining us since Ilan Moss now may not make it. But no worries. Ken & Lydia are phenomenal, and whoever will be with them will add to the fun (we now have Erica Weiss joining us, who's terrific--we've done occasional shows over the years). Want to know what's really fun? No cover (just a one-drink minimum)! And preceding us at 9 pm is Michael Daves. Come and make a night of it! It's Ken Waldman's first time at Rockwood. He's excited!
