Zip's Pub at Cranmore January 1st

Come celebrate the New Year with me at Zip's Pub at Cranmore Mountain on Friday, January 1st from 4-7pm. This apres ski gig is a great way to wind down after a day of skiing, or an early night of music if you stay out too late on New Year's Eve. Stop by even if you're not skiing!

Grand Reopening of the Wildcat Tavern Dec. 26th

Join me Dec. 26th at the Wildcat Tavern in Jackson, NH to celebrate their reopening and listen to some good tunes! The Wildcat closed temporarily for renovations after a fire in their kitchen last October.  The Wildcat moved their popular Hoot NIght over to their sister restaurant Horsefeather's in North Conway for the last two months, and sounds like that will be returning home the following week as well.

 

See you at the Wildcat from 8-10pm on Sat. Dec. 26th!

Live at the 302 Smokehouse in Fryburg, Maine

I'll be back at Tuckerman's Tavern in Intervale, NH once again on June 25th from 7-10pm. Be sure to stop by for good food, music and a fabulous beer selection. See you then!

May 23 - Town Square, Waterville Valley, NH

I'll be returning for what is now my annual Memorial Day weekend gig at Waterville Valley's Town Square on Sat., May 23rd. Catch me live at the Gazebo by Corcoran's Pond for a free outdoor concert. I will be playing from noon-1pm and then again from 6-8pm.

This is the resort's annual Chili Cook Off weekend as well so come for some good music and get to sample chili from Waterville's best restaurants. Waterville has a nice little golf course, paddle boats on the pond, an indoor pool and health club, plus hiking, mountain biking and scenic chairlift rides. In short, it's a perfect "stay-cation" for the long holiday weekend!

Tuckerman's Tavern May 15th

Just added a gig on May 15th from 8-11pm at Tuckerman's Tavern at the New England Inn in Intervale, NH. I hear they have about 200 beers on tap so what a great excuse to come hear me play!

Summer Gigs - Coming Soon

Thanks to everyone who made it out to my recent gigs in March and April! It's been fun picking up the pace again and playing out more often.

I checked out the open mic night at the 302 West Smokehouse in Fryeburg, ME last Thursday. It's a great room, good acoustics and a friendly crowd. Can't wait to go back again.

As I write this I am working on playing at a Brew Fest in Maine sometime this summer. Will play for beer! (Just joking). I'll post dates and locations as soon as that firms up.

And in the meantime, I'll be heading down to the Jazz Fest in New Orleans! I expect to come back completely energized and jonesing for my Martin after hearing the likes of Dave Matthews, Bonnie Raitt and Neil Young. Somebody pinch me!

Live at Zip's Pub!
